snow cream

this is a famous recipe from a dear friend :)

Thank you Mrs Sisse Pfieffer!

Get a big bowl of clean snow
In another large bowl mix:
1 to 2 C. sugar
1 to 2 tsp. vanilla flavoring
1 to 2 C. milk
1 to 2 raw eggs (optional)
After mixing those real well, taste to make sure that it is very sweet, because the snow will dilute the taste. If not real sweet, go ahead and add more sugar now. (It is hard to dissolve sugar after you add the snow.)
Start adding snow until you get the consistency and flavor you like.
ENJOY! ?

tropical smoothie

Guess what we got yesterday? Yep, shredded coconut! And boy is it good! Since pineapples are on sale for 99 cents at Aldis we got 4 of them and bananas are on sale for 33 cents a pound at Wal Mart so we got several bunches of them. And now we are having a tropical party! To the blender we added some

  • fresh pineapple chunks,
  • a couple bananas,
  • a bit of spring water,
  • a couple spoons of natural sugar
  • and a spoon or two of wheat germ,

and whipped it up! Then added

  • several spoons of Tropical Traditions shredded coconut

and whipped for an additional few seconds. And WOW! This is wonderful! Can’t wait to try more recipes!

chocolate strawberry volcano cake

100_1376

We did this for Moriah’s birthday and mine. Chocolate cake with choc chips added to the batter. Cooked in a bundt pan. We filled the middle with strawberries that had been cut and marinated with a cup of natural sugar. Then we put strawberries all around the outside. Then we drizzled strawberry and choc sauce on top, and added whipped cream. Absolutely incredible and has become a family favorite.

Brownie – Ice Cream – Banana Split – Chocolate Sunday Cake

 

 

 

This was my special birthday cake creation for Hannah yesterday. It is a Brownie – Ice Cream – Banana Split – Chocolate Sunday Cake. We took a 13×9 baking dish and made a batch of brownies then set it to cool. When cool we layered it with peanut butter ice cream sandwiches, then we spread on an entire large container of cool whip.

We took it out and added a nice all over drizzle of very rich chocolate sauce. Then another layer of sliced pineapple rings (fresh pineapple is currently 99cents at Aldi’s) and banana slices. We also added fresh sliced strawberries and then chopped nuts. Then we topped with maraschino cherries. It was definitely one of a kind and everyone loved it!

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls are one of the best treats you can offer a guest. Just because they are a yeast bread, and look intimidating doesn’t mean you can’t make them. Just take it one step at a time. Before you know it you will be a Cinnamon Roll Queen!

These Cinnamon Rolls are neither budget nor low-cal, but they are worth every bite  

If you will notice in the picture there is one missing. Even though I ran for my camera the minute they were placed on the serving tray, someone still beat me to them. Cinnamon Rolls are a definite favorite in our family.
