Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

I really enjoyed this dish. Maybe I was really hungry, but I liked it. Again, I got this from one of my favorite recipe blogs, Real Mom Kitchen. Thanks to my great neighbor who loaned me some tomato soup. I swear I had bought some at the store, but couldn't find it. My dear little girl probably stashed it somewhere and I'll find it in a month.

Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

8 ounces uncooked tube or spiral pasta
1 pound ground beef
6 strips of bacon, diced
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 cup (4 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
Barbecue sauce

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile in a skillet cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, cook bacon until crisp(I do mine in the microwave); remove with slotted spoon to paper towels. Discard drippings. Drain pasta; add to skillet. Add soup, beef, and bacon; heat through. Mix in desired amount of barbecue sauce ( I just do a few shakes of the bottle). Sprinkle with cheese; cover and cook until the cheese is melted. 4-6 servings"

Incredible Ice Cream Pie

I've had a few requests for the recipe to this yummy creation. I didn't want to keep you all waiting any longer! This is my husband's favorite treat. His mom made it for him when he was growing up. I make it every year for his birthday. If he's lucky I'll make it twice! It calls for Tin Roof Sundae ice cream, but this year I couldn't find it anywhere! I substituted Reese's Peanut Butter ice cream, but I was told it wasn't quite right. So I promised to search some more for the right ice cream. I had to settle for Bunny Tracks. It has the same elements as Tin Roof. It worked much better for the hubby. Honestly you can use whatever ice cream you want, but for hubby, he has to have the right combo.
Incredible Ice Cream Pie

Get your ice cream out to soften while you make crust ans sauce.

Crust:

3 Tablespoons Butter

2-3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1/4 Cup Karo Light Corn Syrup

Cook Until Bubbly. Add 2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies. Stir until covered. Press into 8 x 11 1/2 pan (you could use 9x13, but your crust will be really thin). Chill in freezer while you make sauce.

Sauce:

1/4 Cup Peanut Butter

1/4 cup Chocolate Syrup

2 Tablespoons Karo Syrup

Heat and stir until smooth (I double the sauce)

Reserve a small amount for top. Pour the rest over chilled crust. Chill in freezer. When ice cream is softened place and smooth onto crust. Drizzle reserved sauce over the top. FREEZE.

Set out 15 minutes or so before ready to serve to soften and make easier to serve.

Happy 4th of July Goodie Bucket

Look how stinkin' cute these buckets are! I found them in the $1 bin at Target. When I saw them I thought they'd be perfect for a little gift. I put red, white, and blue salt water taffy in them and finished them off with a tag using Blue Ribbon paper and stickease. I also used the stamp set Thoughtful Seasons (one of my most favorite).

Low Calorie Low Fat Banana Muffins

I had some very ripe bananas and wanted to make something with them. I went on a search for a low calorie banana muffin. Google is a wonderful thing! This recipe came up and is originally from allrecipes.com. The stats are awesome as is with only 75 calories and .5 grams of fat per muffin. I went a step further and used Splenda instead of sugar and did half whole wheat flour half white flour. With those two changes it makes each muffin 64 calories (according to sparkpeople.com). They turned out yummy and moist. Even my 6 year old liked them!

Low Calorie/Low Fat Banana Muffins

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup bananas, mashed
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

2.Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together banana, sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla. Stir banana mixture into flour until just combined. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.

3.Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool before serving. For best flavor, place in an airtight container or bag overnight.

Makes 12 muffins

Baby Shower Fun

My cute friend down the street is having a baby boy later this month. Another cute neighbor one street over hosted a shower for her yesterday. I love baby shopping so when I saw this cute elephant outfit I had to get it. I then remembered the cute elephant stamp in the set Life's A Jungle I have and made a tag to kinda match. I've had to wait until after the shower to post it to not ruin the surprise of the gift.

The host asked me to do a game for the shower. I decided to do the tried and true Candy Bar Game. It is one of my favorites. My sister introduced it to me years ago and I've been doing it at every shower since. Each candy bar represents something about pregnancy or baby. You lay all the candy bars out on a tray for everyone to see for about a minute for them to study. Then you cover them up. You say the word or phrase and see who can match up the candy bar first. That person gets the candy bar.
