Blueberries

I’d Like to Eat – Blueberry Croissant Puff

Leave a comment

This easy to prepare dish that I found here on Pinterest is great for weekend brunch, or anytime you feel like stuffing your face with baked fruity goodness. I came across it while looking for food options when I have a lille more time to cook and enjoy the fruits of my labor. We made it for Christmas brunch and it was a crowd favorite. The taste is sweet but not too sweet and the croissants don’t become mush with the addition of the milk and the eggs.
Blueberries I plan on making the dish again when we have a relaxing weekend with the husband in town. The next incarnation will be made using strawberries, peaches or possibly bananas, and will definitely include cinnamon.

Do you have a favorite weekend brunch treat?

I’d Like to Eat – Ritz Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches

Leave a comment

When I saw this on Pinterest it was a no brainer that I was going to pin it. Who wouldn’t want to eat these? Don’t do the gluten in the cracker? Whatever. Can’t have the lactose in the ice-cream? Suck it up butter cup. Take a pill and deal with it.  Salty crunchy ice creamy tastiness is to be had.

This is the second recipe I have posted that uses Ritz Crackers. The first one, for Baked Cheesy Ritz crackers, can be found here. I am a fan butter and salt and adding sugar to them is my holy trinity.

Joy the Baker is the mastermind behind these treats that work well for the family and friends who will no doubt be visiting this holiday season. The recipe can be found here. After you’ve eaten 500 of them you can find your nearest Weight Watchers meeting here

Just like most other people this time of year; I am a fool for pumpkin flavored treats.

We carved pumpkins with the boy this weekend. We were left with a work of art and a pile of icky, seedy goo. Did you just throw yours in the garbage? Not us Pinkeltons. The husband grabbed the pot full of goo and prepared these tasty roasted pumpkin seeds.

The quick and easy recipe which boiled the seeds in salt water to lock in the flavor, can be found here.

Happy carving and munching.
