Snickers Salad

I can't believe we've never shared this!! If we have I missed it when I looked in the labels. Great for 4th of July weekend! We will be having both of our parents for that weekend so hubs and I are planning to feed them well. Mostly because we are going to work them too! We have texture and paint to put on two walls and put a floor where there wasn't one before!  Hopefully we can get almost all of it done in 4-5 days! Crazy I know, but I do co-run an Asylum!

Snickers Salad

Ingredients

6 regular size Snickers Candy Bars (we use a bag of minis and just throw them in)
4 medium apples, I used Red Delicious
1 (5.1 oz.) package Vanilla Instant (or cheesecake flavored) Pudding, dry, do not prepare
½ cup milk
1 (16 oz.) tub cool whip, thawed to room temp
½ cup caramel ice cream topping (optional)

Instructions

Happy Tuesday!

Hello friends!  I hope all of you enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day Weekend with your family and friends.!  I'm breaking protocol again today.  I found a recipe I can't wait to try in a new Paleo cookbook.  The book is called "The Paleo Primer" written by Keris Marsden and Matt Whitmore.  I will be making the recipe this evening and I promise to let you know how it turns out after we stuff it in our face (it just sounds so good!)  LOL.  I hope you wonderful crazies will try it along with me and let me know how it turns out for you!

Breadless Butter Pudding

Prep Time:  5 minutes

Cooking Time:  20-30 minutes

Serves:  4-5

6 Bananas

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 Tablespoons raisins or sultanas

2 Tablespoons ghee or butter

Serve with Whipped heavy cream (optional)  (I am definitely going to use this)

1.  Preheat oven to 350°F.

2.  Peel the bananas and slice into large chunks.  Line the bananas in a baking dish.  Sprinkle the spices and dried fruit on top.

3.  Place chunks of butter or ghee over the bananas.

4.  Bake for around 20 minutes or until the bananas are soft.  Stir halfway through cooking to mix the spices and fruit with the oils from the fat.

* Man I am super stoked about this recipe.  So hope it stands up to my expectations!  Happy day to you all, enjoy the next few days and I will see you back on Thursday!

Ready to eat some sand?

Bet that title caught your interest! Saucy Irish is still with family so I am filling in today.  This recipe came across my Facebook page this morning and it reminded me I used to make this for my kids when they little littles! I told them it was Desert Dessert as their Daddy was in Iraq at the time.

Desert Dessert

1 pkg Vanilla Wafers
3 or 4 Oreos
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 C Butter
2/3 C powdered sugar
2 small pkgs French Vanilla pudding mix
2 3/4 C Milk
12 oz Cool Whip

Crush Oreos and Vanilla Wafers in a food processor.  In a separate bowl, cream together softened 8 oz cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. In another bowl, mix pudding with milk.  Add to cream cheese mixture.  Fold in cool whip.  Layer into buckets with sand, pudding, sand etc.

We hope you are enjoying our blog! We know we have a few of you that check in often and we thank you! If you like the blog please share with your friends! If you just like a recipe share it with them! 

UPDATE!!!!! I was starving for this all day and if course I didn't have all the ingredients. I replaced the vanilla pudding with chocolate and the wafers with graham crackers and it was very good! Doesn't look good, but...
