Test

 On Sunday I decided to take my sister’s  family a ‘Get Well Treat.’  because her hubby had to have surgery. I pulled out my gigantic pile of recipes and saw this amazing Heavenly Oreo Dessert from my friend  Mandy’s blog.    The name describes this dessert perfectly. It is heavenly… and dangerous. For your thighs, that is. It’s one of those desserts you can’t. stop. eating…… So don’t say I didn’t warn you!  😉   *Note* This recipe is for a 9×13 inch baking pan.

A couple of weeks ago I was in charge of a dinner for the young men/ young women in our ward. We also invited some senior couples in the ward for the youth to get to know. So we were planning on about a hundred people attending. (Yes, I was kind of a basketcase that week.) We had Cafe Rio Pork Burritos for dinner, because I knew that they are a huge crowd pleaser. I wanted a dessert that was easy to prepare for a large crowd, but that went beyond the brownies with ice cream that is typically served. I had several packages of Oreos left over from a previous activity, so I decided to use them in something. My Mint Oreo Ice Cream Pie came to mind, but I didn’t want to have to make 10 pies. (Who has that many pie pans?) I came up with this Frozen Oreo Dessert, and let me tell you, it was a HUGE hit. I had so many people request the recipe that I decided I’d better share it here. It is embarrassingly easy. But it really is amazingly yummy! Since I was feeding a large crowd, I act...

Orange Cranberry Scones with White Chocolate . . . these tasty scones turn out perfectly tender every time. A favorite scone recipe! I have been on a scone kick lately. I seriously love the things! They are so easy to whip together, and the flavor combinations are endless. I am sure having fun coming up with  some yummy scone variations. I found a base recipe on the King Arthur Flour recipe website that is absolutely delicious. After you put the dough on the baking sheet , the recipe calls for freezing them for 30 minutes. I tried it both ways, and the slightly frozen scones really do bake up higher and flakier. But if you don’t have the time, they will still be amazing. I added white chocolate, Craisins , and a bit of orange zest to the basic recipe. They turned out super yummy. Like so yummy that I hid a few of them away so that I wouldn’t have to share them with my kids. The sugared tops make them extra tasty, and so pretty!They also freeze really well. I just stick t...
