Fried Oreos!!

While in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for our summer vacation I had fried Oreos for the first time!

They were so good that I decided to try and make them at home.




So I bought this funnel cake batter


dipped the oreos in the batter and fried them in some canola oil



sprinkled with some powdered sugar




and viola!! 


I'm telling you, these are amazing! I used reduced fat oreos so I'm sure they were very low calorie and heart healthy too!!

5 Minute Chocolate Cake

Can you believe my personal trainer sent this to me-- Does that mean I have approval to eat it, even if it doesn't, I'm digging in!! Yum Yum

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).


And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding

My mom passed along this recipe to me when she saw it on Paula Deen's show. It is fabulous and is always a favorite when I take it to potlucks!


Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding

Recipe courtesy Paula Deen


Ingredients

  • 2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies*
  • 6 to 8 bananas, sliced 
  • 2 cups milk 
  • 1 (5-ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding 
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 
  • 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream

Directions:

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top. 
In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer.
Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. 
Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

* I usually buy 3 bags of the cookies because some of them will be broken so by buying 3 bags, I am assured I will get enough whole cookies for the top of the pudding. On the bottom, it doesn't matter so much if  you use broken pieces of cookies.
