German Chocolate/Ice Cream Breakfast and Shopping

-
This day in my Life...


This morning when I woke up and saw a bit of snow on the ground it made me feel a little crazy. Seriously! I mean we keep saying Spring is around the corner, okay maybe it is, but how many corners do I have to turn to get to it!

 Yesterday I made a German chocolate pie and sadly it needs more cornstarch because it did not set up right when it was cooled, (I will share the yumminess with you all once I've tweaked and perfected it) :) but I couldn't help myself this morning, I knew I needed a morning brightener so I had runny chocolate pie and ice cream for breakfast. Bad Girl! Because I am actually on a diet to get smaller, not larger. But I will tell you, it was that bit of snow that put me over the edge!

I had this with gourmet coffee. Something else I haven't had for a while. And I thought it was interesting that I randomly chose one of my favorite cups which reads:

                                                         "CHERISH EACH MOMENT"

I did cherish each bite but I will tell you something else, I did not feel real good after the fact. This is not my normal breakfast! (And I have a much better picture of this somewhere on my computer but do you think I can locate it? I upload it to my web albums but it's not there when I go to post it!) Arrgg!

So because the cold persists and I felt like I needed to get OUT, and because almost none of my daughters shirts reaches the places that they should, I decided to go shopping. So I took myself to Kohl's and Target, and Ross, and to a Shoe store.

Now my daughter is properly clothed and my oldest son has jeans that fit again...and I feel much better now that I've blurted it all out. So if you came here hoping to see a tasty recipe, I apologize, but sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! Something tasty is sure to appear here soon again but for today...thanks for listening!! :)

One more thing, my second son needs a baby tooth extracted this afternoon, and he is not happy about this!! He feels positive the dentist can't be trusted!

I hope you have enjoyed your stroll through my hormonal day!  :) Makes me feel a little hysterical... Happy Wednesday! :)

    I love hearing about things in your life in addition to recipes. Pie for breakfast never hurt anyone...in moderation. Lisa~

    If you can conqueror the winter blahs with pie for breakfast~~ Absolutely Go For It!!! Besides, it may "sound worse" but I really doubt if it was anymore calories than my not so tiny cinnamon bun.

    Haha Mom sounds like you could be related to my family in Ohio. We can sort of eat a lot of ice cream, at least the males in my family can, ahem!

    Thank you Lisa, I've tossed the idea back and forth about making this more than a foodie thing. But I think I'll need the sun before I can make any kind of rational decision :)

    There have been times when the temptation to eat something like this is just too over-powering to resist. I get it, truly I do!

    I'm also loving the sound of your ham and cabbage, & the Ranch potato dish. Dang, I need a snack!

    I think your breakfast covered all the basic food groups :-). It's good you were able to use, rather than waste, the pie. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
