rennea said:I hear a lot of you don't cook on the weekends
I haven't decided yet today,have to go shopping. At this point anything is up for grabs!!
Dessert will be Banana Cream Supreme:chef:
I'm starting to think I stink as a wife because I rarely make dessert. I'm sure most of it is because DH is a good 60 pounds over weight, and I'm still 30 pounds too heavy for my frame (I do hold my excess weight well)...
I have no idea what I'll be making. I've got quite a bit in the freezer, but no desire to make any of it. Mostly because 90% of what I have are all ingredients for new recipes I wanted to try.
I have to go to the grocery store today- maybe I'll come up with something then. If I decide on anything riviting- I'll let you all know ASAP!
LOLMaybe I'll buy the ingredients to make my Mom's Chocolate Dessert- It has a yummy crust, chocolate pudding and cream cheese and whipped cream in it!
Mmmmm

I think I know what I'm making...:thumbup: So I bought this cookbook last week. Yes, I splurged on a little happiness for myself.
This is the first cookbook I've ever purchased where I WANT to make at least 90% of what is in the cookbook! I rarely buy cookbooks for the reason that I only like about 5-10% of the recipes in them. And since I normally cook without recipes, there isn't a large need for cookbooks in my house.
It's called The Comfort Table by Katie Lee Joel (she's the cute young thing married to singer Billy Joel and she's pals with Paula Deen)
Anywho- there is a recipe in there for Italian Sausage and Cheese flatpies. So I'm going to make those, I think. It's like a stromboli, but with no sauce and made with puff pastry, and not pizza dough. I'm excited.
So it looks like Flatpies, a salad and chocolate dessert for supper. There, I feel like a better person

Hamburgers for us....not sure whats going on the side...other then GUAC and Chips!
I am indulging now in a coconut mixed drink...its so yummy! I saw on Sandra Lee Semi Homemade....2 cups coconut rum, 1 can of Coco Lopez, fresh mint. Mix and bruise the mint so the flavor comes out. Serve over ice and top with a splash of club soda. (Me I use 1/2 ice and 1/2 club soda to water down the rum. I am a light weight! Garnish with mint
