mmmmmmm....




So, the other night I was watching The Food Network and Giada's Weekend Getaway was on. On this episode she traveled to Texas. One of the meals she ended up having was a carrot cake french toast dish with pecan cream cheese frosting and maple syrup! Um... yum! I have been dreaming of this dish since I saw it, haha. You can be sure to see a new post when I finally make it! Can't wait. Here is what it looks like!

Delicious!!


I love strawberries. I also love frosting. Put it together and what do you get? Deliciousness! I recently tried to recreate the strawberries and cream breakfast dish that you can get at Magleby's. I think it turned out pretty good!

I used
-weight watchers creme cheese
-butter
-vanilla
and powdered sugar

Usually a frosting like this would be perfect for a cake or cinnamon rolls or whatever! But in an effort to make my strawberries in cream really healthy and light I added some milk. I also added just the tiniest bit of whipping creme. This made the frosting light and fluffy and oh soo good! I'm telling you. It is the perfect breakfast! And lunch! And dinner! Yum!

Confession...


I have a confession. For all of you out there that dislike the corny, send it my way! I recently discovered some good ole' nineties tv shows and man do I love them. I have watched the series "Christy" through twice now and I have made my way onto "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" and Season One of "Full House". Seriously though, what is there not to love? They might be a bit corny but they are actually GOOD shows. The people in them pray, have morals and are genuinely trying to be good people. I find it so refreshing!
