Whip together:

1-8oz. Block of cream cheese
1 cup of sour cream
2 cups of Cool Whip
1 tsp. of vanilla
1 pkg. of instant vanilla pudding mix

Pour it into a Ready Made Graham Cracker Crust

Top it with a can of fruit pie filling (whatever kind you have a hankering for…cherry seems to be the favorite in my house, followed by blueberry.)

Chill it.

Bring it to a friend you haven’t seen in awhile.

Share it. Eat it. Chat over it.

Thank me later. 🙂

Do yourself a favor…

So, when’s the last time you had a Root Beer Float?  Seriously.  Ages ago, right?  Do yourself a favor, and run out to the store and buy yourself a two liter bottle of root beer and a half gallon of cheap vanilla ice cream, and go whole hog tonight.  I’ll bet you’ve forgotten how good one of these tastes…I know I did.

I ordered one in Disney, while the girls crinkled their noses at my choice.  I forced them to try it, and now they want one every night for dessert.  Yummy!

The Recipe:

Get the tallest glass you can find.

Fill it halfway with root beer.

Cram as much vanilla ice cream into the glass as you possibly can.  (Foam-over is completely acceptable, and lickable.)

Gorge yourself until you’re sick.

Any questions?

So, we had a lot of delicious meals in Disney, but I have to say, my favorite, the snack that stood above all others, were THESE!

These little beauties are Carmelized Cinnamon Almonds.  The scent of these babies wafting from the cart drew me from at least three rides away.  Once I found the source, I had to have them.  They were divine!!! 

(Please excuse me while I close my eyes and dream of nuts.)

 

Getting Out the Grill

Although it’s sleeting here today (and freezing rain, and snowing now and then,) the weatherman is forecasting 64 degrees tomorrow!  I’m ready!  I’m getting out the grill! 

 I’ve spent two days thinking about what that first grilled meal is going to be, so I’ll be prepared when that warmth strikes.  I’ve got my shorts all picked out, and my sandals dusted off.  Cleaning up the iced tea maker, and lemons are on my grocery list.  I’m thinking marinated london broil sounds tasty, along with some pocket potatoes, roasted with garlic and rosemary…maybe a little sprinkling of dill.  Mmmmm….I can smell it already!  Maybe I’ll even whip up a fresh berry salad for the occasion!  Oooo—with fresh whipped cream on top!  Yeah, that’s what I’ll do!

AND we’ll walk to the local ice cream shop for dessert!  My girls begged me to take them on opening day (Saturday) but I couldn’t bring myself to get bundled up in 28 degree weather to sit at a picnic table and eat an ice cream cone.  Call me crazy.

Gonna get an extra super tall vanilla softy, dipped in chocolate and sprinkles…..Mmmmm!  And the babe’s gonna LOVE his first taste of summery yum!  I can hardly wait!
