P’nut Butter and Jelly Cookies…

I absolutely LOVE peanut butter cookies…and I LOVE the 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe for these cookies. And what could make these even better???? Blackberry Jelly!!! My friend Gina gave me some jelly she made with blackberries she grew. The weird thing is…I HATE blackberries. Not the taste, but the seeds- the good thing about the jelly is that it doesn’t have seeds.

Shortcut Strawberry Shortcake…

What do you do when you’re suffering from a head cold and it’s pouring down rain outside? Why, what else…you cook!! And this shortcut cake is so easy to make you can even do it with medication running through your body…

But first an introduction…

Meet my friends helping me today- Rawleigh’s Medicated Ointment and Coca-Cola!!!

With enough Coke flowing through your veins and medicated salve on your forehead you can conquer the world!! Well, at least a cake. Now on with the recipe!!

Bake your cake according to the instructions on the box. I used Pillsbury’s Butter Cake mix.

I then mashed about 2 cups of strawberries with a couple tablespoons of sugar.

This will create a wonderful and tasty syrup.

Once you spread the berries put the cake in the freezer for 10 to 15 mins.

This will make the strawberries stay in place while spreading the frosting.

Christmas In July And Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Cones…

I love “window shopping”, especially after work. Sometimes I just get the urge to go out and browse the stores.

Well, today my son and I went to Garden Ridge and this is what we found..

Is it just me or do the stores rush the holidays? Don’t get me wrong, I know that companies have to get their merchandise in the stores early but seriously…it’s 95 degrees outside and stores are hanging up ornaments and playing Jingle Bells!! But there’s also a part of me that gets the warm fuzzies and can’t wait for the holidays to get here!!

How cute are these ornaments?

Too bad I don’t have any daughters, these would make a beautiful Christmas tree.

We came across these pedestals and Tre’ had to do a little posing.

Tre’- The Thinker!!

The resemblance is uncanny!!!

After “Christmas Shopping”, we headed to Mickey D’s for a Chocolate Dipped Cone…. MMMMMMMMMMMM

Have you tried these? They are soooooooooo good and for only $1.49, you can’t beat the price.

Thanks for tagging along!! See ya next time…
