Johanna....
has a very sticky floor due to a major spillage of creme de menthe syrup whilst making grasshopper pie yesterday.
Grasshopper Pie
Crust:
24 crushed oreo crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter
Press into 9 inch pie pan and freeze till ready to fill.
Pie:
1 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
1 package softened cream cheese
1 small package dark chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon mint extract (or slightly more to taste
½ cup powdered sugar
Few drops green food coloring
Whip cream. Beat cream cheese till smooth, and then beat together with whipped cream. Don’t over beat though. Reserve 1/3 of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture for topping. Combine pudding mix with milk, then fold together with the 2/3 remaining cream cheese/whipped cream mixture. Spread into prepared pie crust.
Add mint extract, powdered sugar and green food coloring to remaining cream cheese/whipped cream mixture. Stir well. Spread over chocolate pudding in pie crust - spread to edges. Top with chocolate shavings or crushed Oreos. Yummy!
loves seeing her sweet doggy find a spot to lie in the sunshine.
is so grateful that spring has been with us for almost a week now. Beautiful!
really wants Girl Scout cookies. We ordered them back in December from a cute chubby lil' Girl Scout and have seen crumb nor package of the three boxes we requested.
would really like for the ONLY thing to grow during pregnancy to be my tummy. Not happening.
is very thankful for a super new pair of jeans that are comfortable and were free! (Thanks, Brandy!)
needs to take the dog for a walk - it's so nice to be able to get outside.
has the most loving and kind husband....on Monday he brought me gorgeous spring flowers and a new Nalgene bottle. What a guy!
would really like to return to her love of literature and READ more books. In the past several years the books-read count has gone down significantly.
hopes it will be warm for Easter Sunday!
is looking forward to having Jesse and Anna stay with us in just a few weeks.
might actually venture into Babies R' Us this week. Gasp.
will be SO glad to go to Duluth for a getaway weekend in April. Yay for waterfront rooms, s'mores on the shore, hot breakfasts and time in one of my favorite places with my favorite man on earth.
looked like this 2 weeks ago at 22 weeks/5 months pregnant...(trying on maternity clothes at Motherhood)
