I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today I have something for all you folks in a hurry in the morning. Which is likely 99.99% of you. I mean who are we kidding, most of us are rushing around in the morning. Some of us find we're too busy to eat. I'd like to change that. I mean who doesn't have 3 minutes in the morning for yummy overload. I know I make time for yummy overload. It's the perfect start to any day. … [Read more...]
I just love no bake desserts. They make me happy. I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts... when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere. So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks. Not sure what that says about me. Not sure I really care. I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week. So life is good. And when … [Read more...]
I may have just made the easiest dessert on the face of the planet. It's easy, it's cute and it took about 5 to 10 minutes to whip up. I know it's super impressive right. Pfft! These were born out of sheer necessity. I joined a group of bloggers to do a St. Patrick's Day Group Post, then proceeded to get the flu. I had planned to make something else, but after not having been to the grocery store in 10 days the pantry had slim pickings. I still wasn't ready to go shopping at the … [Read more...]
Well just look at these cute little parfaits. Can I just say I think tiny food is adorable. There's just something about desserts done in little cups that makes my heart melt. Don't even get me started on the fact that it's lemon curd in these cute little parfaits. And not just lemon curd, but meyer lemon curd. Be still my heart. I swear there is just something about seeing meyer lemons that makes me think it's spring. I woke up this morning and the sun is shining bright, I'm eating a cute … [Read more...]
I'd like to welcome you to the start of Whipping Cream Week. I'm participating in a contest involving real cream which got me to thinking. I buy a big thing of real cream, aka heavy cream, aka whipping cream, at the store and it costs a good pile of dough. Then I use a little bit of it and then forget I have it. I use it up like mad in summer when I am constantly making ice cream. Yet winter months I tend to buy it and forget it is in the fridge. So I decided if I do this, there must be lots of … [Read more...]
I made these tasty trifles last week. They are so amazing I can barely contain my excitement in describing them. But first let me tell you about one of the ingredients in this dish. It's a brownie a friend named Skye pointed out to me about a year ago. I was sceptical about them and basically tried them to prove her wrong. That's a huge claim to name them the way the author did. Then I tried them and it all made perfect sense. So for this trifle recipe you get the pleasure of using the recipe … [Read more...]
I received an email awhile back letting me know that June 23rd was National BBQ Day. I had no idea. So being the kind of gal who loves to grill I knew I had to participate in this fun event. Then I pinched a nerve in my neck. Yup, that's me. Either falling down or something to that effect. Then mini-me's achilles injury reared its ugly head again. So it's been an interesting week here at the Bee household. Never one to miss an opportunity to grill I decided to come up with something easy to do … [Read more...]
Okay so I made Paula Deen's Strawberry Cannoli Parfaits. Can you say yummilicious? I know I can. Especially after eating these things. So good. The downside.... I now know why she put the pistachios in the cream. To avoid the parfait glasses looking like they are dusty from the pistachios bits. I laughed my butt off when I looked at all my photos and realized it looks like I used unclean glasses. Live and learn. And I mean if hitting my learning curve means eating copious amounts of things … [Read more...]
Okay so going to do this is individual posts so it's not so rambling. This recipe is an old fave I have not made in probably over 15 years. I never wrote it down so hopefully I made it right. If not, it's not like you'll ever know right! *giggles* Sex on the WTF: Ingredients: 1 pan of Brownies (these can be homemade or store bought.you could even use those bite size ones) 2 cups of Whipping cream (this can be homemade or store bought.i used dream whip and used actual whipping … [Read more...]
