{Baking, Family, Friends and Fun}

Oh my! It's been a month since I have blogged. I honestly have found it hard to keep up but I am blaming on family time! What better explanation could I have huh? Well, maybe BAKING ! Vanilla cake with chocolate sauce filling and cool whip with powdered sugar icing topped with sprinkles.  Chocolate with fresh strawberry filling with buttercream frosting and a touch of candy pearls. Butter cake with buttercream icing and chocolate sauce.   There has been a whole lot of baking going on at my house. I get in these moods at times. Family & friends have enjoyed my gifts of love. My daughter Melissa and I carried my granddaughter Kyleigh and one of her sweet friends to see Snow White. We had such a fun time with the girls. Our family enjoyed watching our granddaughter Adalynn in her first cheer competition. Her team won 1st place.  Our granddaughter Mallory attended her Junior prom and had the best time. I've decided that blue is her color! I thought this was the cutest pi...

Make Me Smile Monday--Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies

Yum...Melt in your mouth...Oh so good....


Okay friends...let me say that I am not a big sweet eater (I'm one of those gals that rather have fried chicken, mustard greens and corn bread) HOWEVER these little MINI PIES I do like love.

Recipe and tutorial for you...

Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies:
Ingredients:
Pie Crust--I got the rolled crust (2 per pack)


Oreo cookies



Peanut Butter


Melted butter or margarine


Okay we are talking about 4 ingredients: Pie crust, Oreo cookies, Peanut butter and Butter! COME ON NOW....Could this be any easier?

I wanted to make mini bites so used my mini muffin pan. Spray well with Pam.




I used my little biscuit cutter but you can use the mouth of a glass as well. This biscuit cutter is a 2 inch round.


Lay your dough out on the counter or large cutting board and cut with your biscuit cutter. Lay cut dough in your pan. I  found that this size cutter makes a perfect little pie shape size for the mini muffin pan.


Take some Oreo cookies and toss in a zip lock bag. Sorry, I didn't count them but if you don't have enough you can add more. I used a potato masher to crush my cookies with but you can use whatever you have that works for you such as bottom of heavy glass or etc.
Sprinkle cookie mixture onto the dough.



A closer look....(I made two batches) Next batch I make I will crush the cookies a little finer but still have some chunks.



 Next take a teaspoon and just dollop out some peanut butter and place on top of Oreo cookies.



 Well maybe I used more than just a dollop. LOL!


Take remaining dough and cut into strips.Now If I had of had the time I would have cut into thinner strips and made it look more like a lattice look...but I didn't! Lay your strips over the peanut butter and pinch the ends to the pie.


 Melt some butter in microwave and brush butter over your mini pies.


Bake in preheated oven on 350 for about 15 minutes.


Let cool for a few minutes and get ready.......THEY ARE SO GOOD!


Nothing like having your very own mini pie! Ya can't go wrong with cookies and peanut butter... RIGHT?


I placed some in the frig and when I wanted one I just simply zapped it in microwave for about 30-45 seconds and WA-LA! Good cold too! I love the little bit of chocolate with peanut butter but the flakiness of the pie part is what makes it too me.

Give them a try....BET YOU CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    These look delicious, maybe a Friday cooking project with the grandkids...then of course they would ALL be sent home, I'm afraid I'd eat too many of these if they stayed around the house

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
