Cookie salad?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I want y’all to know that this is ALL yalls fault. (But it sure is good). Breakfast casserole with rolled out crescent rolls on bottom, dollops of softened cream cheese, sausage and eggs. Pretty good brunch-ish dish!

Cookie salad?

I must confess. We didn’t end up having salad after all. When I opened the bag of salad and started to pour it into bowls, it was slimy! And I only bought it just yesterday! Even the carrot slivers were mushy, and I’ve never seen the carrots go bad in bagged salad before. It’s usually just the greens.

So we just ate homemade corn dogs.

The Indiana grandchildren are spending the night. They both got to have 2 cookies each.

"Just" ate homemade corndogs? Do you know how delicious that sounds? So much better than salad, lol!

ARGH! I'm going to have to shut ya'll OFF if you keep doing this, lol! Or maybe I'll just join ya'll and go make a cheesecake! Yummy

Cream puffs sound really good...

i'm using some advice my sister gave me to see if it helps. i don't make them often enough to be an expert yet... but they are good.

Wait, is this a diet thread or a ruin your diet thread?!

I always wanted to try making artistic looking sugar cookies so on Thursday I spent hours making icing and piping it onto some cookies that I had made the day before. I get impatient so I didn’t make them quite as carefully as I had wanted, but they turned out ok. But I only did a couple dozen of them.View attachment 22785

What to do with the rest? I found a hack on line for the fastest way to frost cookies ever. 5 minutes and I was done with all the rest!

You just microwave a tub of store bought frosting and pour it all over! No artistic skills required!

they are speaking my language...

My family had roasted veggies for supper. Brussel sprouts, carrots, mushrooms, peppers. Yum!

DS7 and I had berries for dessert. I ate a lot of raspberries today!

cream puffs came out well. first time in a long time. gotta send a note to my sis and tell her thanks for the tip.

after putting the blobs on the baking sheet let it sit for a half hour or so before baking.

i get to make another batch of these in a few weeks so we'll see if this is repeatable or a fluke... but i certainly paid more attention to what i was doing this time for timing and temperatures plus measurements.
