Homemade almond toffee, cheesecake, double fudge brownie sundaes, annisette flavored biscotti, italian apple pie and so much more..
For me it's Strawberry Cheesecake.
For Halloween parties this little joy creates the most fun, especially if the party involves young Trick-O-Treaters.
Kitty Litter Cake
A purrfect party cake, made to look like a litter box!
Ingredients:
· 1 box German Chocolate or Spice Cake mix (any brand)
· 1 box White Cake Mix (any brand)
· 1 (1 lb 4 oz) pkg. Vanilla Sandwich Cookies (any brand)
· 1 large pkg. Vanilla Instant Pudding
· Green Food Coloring
· 12 small Tootsie Rolls
· 1 NEW Kitty Litter Box
· 1 NEW Kitty Litter Box Liner
· 1 NEW Pooper Scooper
Directions:
Prepare cake mixes per package directions. Bake them in any shape pan you'd like, you'll be breaking them up later on, so it doesn't matter what they look like. Prepare pudding mix per package directions. Refrigerate until well chilled. You may or may not need the entire package (save the leftovers to eat later on.)
Put the cookies into your food processor (with the filling). Pulse until the cookies are crushed. Don't over-do it, this is suppose to look like kitty litter. Scrape the sides of the processor bowl often, the crumbs tend to stick. You'll need to do this in small batches.
Add a few drops of green food coloring to one cup of the cookie crumbs. (This is the chlorophyll in the kitty litter.) You can put the crumbs into a jar, add the food coloring, and shake until it's fairly well mixed.
When the cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining (uncolored) cookie crumbs and enough of the pudding to make the mixture moist, but not soggy.
Line the kitty litter box with the new liner; add the cake/pudding mixture and spread it out. Unwrap three of the Tootsie Rolls and heat them in the microwave until they are soft and pliable; don’t melt them! Shape blunt ends into slightly curved points (use your imagination). Repeat with three more Tootsie Rolls. Bury the shaped Tootsie Rolls in the cake mixture, allowing some of them to stick out of the top at random intervals. (Again, use your imagination.)
Sprinkle the remaining white cookie crumbs over the mixture, then scatter the green crumbs lightly over the top. Heat the remaining six Tootsie Rolls, three at a time, in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them over the top of the cake and sprinkling with crumbs from the box.
Read: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. —1 Corinthians 9:27
Bible In One Year: Psalms 113-115; 1 Corinthians 6
Eighty years ago, Eric Liddell electrified the world by capturing an Olympic gold medal in the 400 meters—a race he was not expected to win. Liddell was the favorite at 100 meters, but he had withdrawn from that race after learning the qualifying heats would be on Sunday, a day he observed as one of worship and rest. Instead of lamenting his lost chance in the 100, he spent the next 6 months training for the 400—and set a new Olympic record.
Paul used a sports metaphor to emphasize the Christian's need for spiritual discipline. "Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things" (1 Corinthians 9:25), that is, goes into strict training. "Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown." Paul longed to remain faithful to Christ because he wanted to bring the message of salvation to others (vv.19,27).
Throughout Liddell's life, he disciplined himself spiritually each day by spending time in God's Word and in prayer. He remained faithful until he died of a brain tumor in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.
Strengthened by the grace and power of God, Eric Liddell ran well and finished strong in the race of life. And so can we. —David McCasland
Uh oh. Looks like I'm going to have to download this entire thread. -:)
"Of course you could put cream cheese on a bumper and it'd taste good."
I am in complete and total agreement.
It has to be my Grandma's blackberry pie...
And my other Grandma's pumpkin bars. Both are equally divine
I brought one of these made by my daughter to an office potluck some time ago. Almost got fired in the process.
Some people have no sense of humor. And they don't know what they missed.
It sounds good, but if that all fails, give me hot apple pie.
Ummm, fruit pizza. I would love to have that one. I, in return, can provide, as desired, the most incredible brownies on earth, an amazing cake called Japanese Fruit Cake (no explanation for the Japanese reference, and it is a true layer cake, not Christmas type fruit cake) that has a cream cheese frosting, and a Christmas cookie recipie which is basically butter held together by powdered sugar with nuts and butterscotch chips, frosted with a rum glaze that WILL make you drunk. This last one is not for children. (Can you tell I love to bake?)
ROTFLOL!!!!
You have to remember I stay (try anyways) by working with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and that one always goes over big. Haven't dared to be as brave as you and take one into the office yet.
I should have known you'd be on a food thread.
Here's a cream cheese recipe I'll bet you don't have:
Open a package of Philadephia Cream Cheese (the good stuff -- not that fat free cr*p) and put it on a small plate. Press minced garlic around the top and sides, then pour Kikkumon soy sauce over all (not too much -- you don't want to drown it).My husband and I love cream cheese, garlic, and japanese food, so this just seemed a natural combination.Spread on Triscuits.
I love the tagline. So let's put lipstick on this pig and elect Cheney/Bush, oops, I meant Bush/Cheney. :) HeHe.
Welcome to the Canteen!
Real Southern Peach Cobbler ...warm with vanilla ice cream on the side. It has to be made a special way, though. I first had this in in our high school cafeteria in Georgia....made by real Southern cafeteria ladies. I have found it made the same way only a few times since and have been unable to duplicate it at home. :o(
