The idea for this recipe came to me when Lillian sent me a recipe called Five-Cup Desserts. She found it in an old paper back cookbook, "250 Luscious Refrigerator Desserts" by Culinary Arts Institute, 1950.
I wanted to use up some leftover fruit so I made a few changes. I didn't have leftover rice so I cooked some. I did have about 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple, about 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries and about 1/2 cup of pecan halves. I combined these and added the marshmallows. I didn't have time to whip heavy cream but had a cup of cool whip so I used that. I also renamed my dish "Fruity Rice." The picture above is what I ended up with. It's a real keeper!

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!
