Dino's Latest Recipe

While we were making french toast this morning Dino created his own recipe that I think is pretty brilliant!

Here are the ingredients:

1 slice white bread

crunchy peanut butter

5 chocolate chips

Take a bite of the corner of the bread. Spread peanut butter on 1/2 white bread. Smoosh chocolate chips into the peanut butter. Fold the plain side of the bread onto the peanut butter chocolate chip side and VOILA!

Pumpkin Fluff

Hi! I have a great idea (totally not mine) for a low calorie treat. Everyone was talking about it at a Weight Watchers meeting a while back and I finally tried it out. It's good! And it's made with pumpkin and dairy and it's sugar free and Dino likes it too! Bonus!

Here's how easy it is:

1 small package sugar free pudding - cheesecake flavor but I want to try vanilla or chocolate too.

1 cup milk - I used 2%

1 can pumpkin puree

1 container cool whip free

In a medium bowl whisk together the pudding and milk until combined. Add pumpkin and whisk again. Put away the whisk. With a spatula fold in cool whip. Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours but it's even more awesome overnight. It should come out to about 2 WW points per serving and it makes 4 giant servings. I prefer lots of smaller servings so you could probably plan on 8 servings.

We ate it plain and then dipped vanilla wafers in it. I think I want to try dipping green apples in it - seriously, they're on my list for today! I also thought that gingersnaps, graham crackers, grapes and pineapple would be a hit.

Oh! And most importantly. It cured my craving for sweets! Win!

A time and a place for Snickerdoodles

Dino suggested cookies tonight - because he's a toddler and he always wants cookies! So I decided to pick one of the cutest blogs that I know to make my first blog recipe. I've never had or made Snickerdoodles before so today was as good as any to try Candra and DJ's Snickerdoodle recipe on Our Recipe Box. After reading on I found that they gave the credit for the recipe to Sisters Cafe. A stalker's dream come true! Okay - but quickly back to Our Recipe Box blog. It is a weekly meal plan with recipes and links to other recipes. Brilliant use of food blog stalking! A blogger after my own heart!

Notice the cookie in the background. He needed it for inspiration!

Realizing that the measuring spoons can be used for an awesome oddball mirror.

Snickerdoodles baby!

Kinda cute, not too sweet, a blast to make and really really fun to say!
