Cookies & Cream Rice Krispies

I found this recipe on glorioustreats.blogspot.com and tried it. I loved it. I've just been in an Oreo mood lately, not eating the Oreo's plain, but incorporating them into baking somehow.

My picture didn't turn out so I took this one off the internet

Ingredients-

  • 6 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 20 oreo's (crushed)
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 Tbs butter

Directions-
  • Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick spray then put rice krispies and oreo's in a large bowl.
  • In a another large bowl heat butter and marshmallows together in the microwave (3 Minutes). Stir the marshmallows and butter together.
  • Pour the butter/marshmallow mix over the rice krispies and oreos.
  • Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and let it cool for 20 minutes.
  • ENJOY

Short Term Goals

I have recently learned about the dirty dash (thedirtydash.com) and tough mudder (toughmudder.com) race/obstacle courses, and I am GOING TO DO THEM. I want to test myself and be able to say "I did that, and I completed it, I'm one tough mudder." I am doing the dirty dash in June of this year, but I probably won't do the Tough Mudder till next year because I'll have time to train for it, create a team plus registrations for the one in Utah this year are already closed.  Check out the videos below and be inspired!

Fondant

It's my sisters boyfriend's birthday today, so she asked me to make a cake, well I got the cake cricut machine for Christmas so I thought this would be a great opportunity to use it. This is my first first time using fondant so I am pretty proud of the final result, it was frustrating and hard at times and I wanted to give up but after a few hours I finally finished and I can't wait to do more cake projects!

Recently I've seen a few movies that I have really enjoyed such as Warrior and This means War. What do these two movies have in common? Two words: TOM HARDY! SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!

Mexican Casserole

My family makes a really good Mexican casserole, but I was on pintrest the other day (surprise...not) and I found a different variation of the recipe and I decided to try it. It was tasty but in my opinion not as good as my family's original recipe. Here is the pintrest recipe.


Ingredients-

  • 1lb ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 can refried bean
  • 2 cups colby jack cheese (I used a mexican cheese blend)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can black olives drained and sliced
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 2 cups corn chips
Directions-
  • In a skillet brown and drain the ground beef add the taco seasoning(and water as said on seasoning packet)  and finish cooking the ground beef
  • Heat the refried beats in a pan on medium heat, add 1 cup cheese and the salsa to the beans mix well.
  • Place crushed corn chips at the bottom of an 8x8 casserole dish. Pour the bean mixture over the chips and add the ground beef mixture to the top of the bean layer. Place the last cup of cheese on top of the meat. Top with the olives and green onions (optional)
  • Bake in the oven at 375 until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated all they way through. Finish by topping with the chopped tomatoes. 
  • Enjoy
