pinterest day ... DONE! celebrate!

Dear,

YOU ARE DONE!

AAAAAND my little blog is one year old!

yesterday was the first day since march i didn't blog, and boy did it feel good! 

however, we did finish our amazing patio [well actually, start and finish], so i was busy!

i will post about that tomorrow :)

time to celebrate all of this with some cake batter rice krispie treats!

honestly, i didn't think they tasted much like cake batter [and i added doubled the cake batter] but they were still yummy!

ingredients:

6 cups rice krispies

2 tablespoons butter

10 oz bag mini marshmallows

1 cup yellow cake batter [dry, not prepared]

few tablespoons of sprinkles

directions:

-melt the butter in a large pot on medium

- add the marshmallows and melt them, stirring often

- add the cake batter and stir it in

- add a couple tablespoons of sprinkles

- take off the heat and add the rice krispies

- put in a 13x9 pan, sprinkle more cake batter and sprinkles on top, and let cool

pinterest day 30: deep fried oreos

day 30: deep fried oreos from my "favorite recipes" board

deep fried oreos

i love these! we always keep at least 10 oreos in the freezer for random times when we want fried oreos.  

all we do is put some dry krusteaz mix in one bowl and some krusteaz mix mixed with water [in a thicker consistency] in another bowl.  dip the frozen oreos in the wet mix, then the dry mix, and in the wet mix for a second time. fry them on 350 degrees in the deep fryer for 45-60 seconds or until golden brown.  top with powdered sugar and enjoy!

all you need 

you can tell we haven't made deep fried oreos in a while since these were christmas oreos!
