Krispy Kreme Oreo Donuts

Mar5


Last Saturday, we were driving by Krispy Kreme, and the light was on!!  Just. couldn’t. resist. So, we got in line, as the light is like a beacon calling people to come in LOL We decided to give the Oreo donuts a try, along with a lemon filled one, as I had never had one of those…if you can believe it. Now, we didn’t eat all 3 at once…that would be…excessive LOL We had each one on a different day. We first had the cream filled Oreo crumble donut, with a light chocolate filling. Not too bad. We next tried the lemon filled, and I have to say, I didn’t like it so much. I think I prefer the plain hole donuts better. Then we finally had the chocolate cake donut with Oreo crumble and cream on top. I preferred that one over the cream filled one, but again, it wasn’t anything special. Ah well…at least I can say I’ve tried it!!

Spicy Slow Cooked Chili

Feb26

This is what I decided to make this week, for our big pot meal!! Since we’re in the middle of winter, we always love making chili to warm up with 🙂 I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com, which looked to be a basic recipe, that you can add to with whatever you like. I personally have never used tomato sauce when makin chili, but there’s a first time for everythin right?! So, I used Hunt’s Thick & Rich Spicy Red Pepper & Chilies Tomato Sauce, and it worked really well 🙂

Spicy Slow Cooked Chili

The recipe looks like it makes a thick chili. But, my hubby and I love a chili with a bit more liquid in it, so I added 2 cups of beef broth. I also added cumin, more cayenne pepper and chili powder then it calls for, 1 jalapeno (seeded) and we had leftover bacon so we added that too. After cooking on High for 4hrs, I served it over tortilla chips, and garnished with shredded cheese and sour cream…omnomnom!! If you’re a lover of chili, I’d recommend this recipe. If you liked it as much as we did, I’m sure you’ll add it to your repotoire too.

Gerry Flintstone Dip

Feb16

When I first heard of this, from a friend, I was like…’what?!’ LOL But I was told that it was amazing. So I looked it up and found the recipe, through the Today’s Parent Forum to try out, for Super Bowl sunday a few weekends back. It was pretty simple to make, and even though we made it without the bread bowl the original recipe calls for, it still turned out very yummy!! Mind you, what ISN’T yummy, when bacon and cheese is involved right?! 😉 I’d definitely recommend you try this out for yourselves, as I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!
