Super Easy Ice Cream Cake

06:57 Unknown 0 Comments


 Over the weekend my best friend of over a decade came to Florida to spend her birthday with us. On Sunday we had her over for dinner with this ice cream cake for dessert. I found the recipe on this food website that I just conveniently can't find now. But I remember what I did so let's get into it. 


INGREDIENTS

20 Oreos
1 tablespoon of milk
10 ice cream sandwiches
3 different ice cream flavors
1 8oz container of Cool Whip

METHOD

  1. In a food processor, blend 15 oreos with the tablespoon of milk and set it aside. 
  2. Working quickly, cut the ice cream sandwiches in quarters and stack them lengthwise around a spring form pan. 
  3. Add the processed oreos at the bottom of the pan, pressing it down firmly creating the base and then freeze for an hour. 
  4. Remove your ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften for 15 minutes. 
  5. Transfer your first ice cream flavour into a small bowl and stir until smooth. Add that to the pan and then proceed with the other flavours. Transfer, smooth, layer. 
  6. After you've done all three layers, add the cool whip to the top of the cake and make decorative swirls. 
  7. Crush the remaining oreos and sprinkle them at the top of the cake. 
  8. Freeze overnight and done. 

This was super easy and a big hit with the adults and kids. I used strawberry, chocolate and vanilla but use whatever flavours you want or just use one. Whatever floats your boat. 
If you try this, let me know in the comments or on Instagram. 

Mommy,

Harvest Festival 2016

The Monday before Halloween, Aiden's school hosted their annual Harvest Festival. The kids got to dress up, do crafts, play, listen to stories and carved a pumpkin. The boys had fun but there were a few things that could have been improved if there was more parent involvement. I did my best Harley Quinn face and the boys dressed up as Transformers. The event lasted about 2hrs but they got alot packed into that time. Especially since we were planning on staying in on Halloween, I wanted to boys to enjoy themselves as much as possible in a safe environment.

My Mom's Cornmeal Porridge

19:17 Unknown 0 Comments



I promised Fred that I would make him porridge for breakfast one day during the week, but I wanted to do t the way that my mom does it, so I kinda got her help on this one but with my own measurements.



INGREDIENTS

2 cups water
a pinch of salt
a splash of vanilla
a dash of nutmeg
a dash of cinamon
1 cup of cornmeal
2 cups of milk
Condense milk & brown

METHOD

  1. In a large pot or sauce pan, add the first five ingredients and bring to a boil. While the water boils, mix the cornmeal and milk together and then slowly pour the mixture into your now boiling water. 
  2. Stir for 5-6 minutes to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to medium low and allow to cook for another 15 minutes. 
  3.  If it gets too thick, add milk to make it as thin as you want it. Sweeten to taste using condensed milk and sugar. 
Serve hot, as you know, and compare to my cornmeal porridge and let me know which one you prefer. 

Mommy, xo.
