Oreo Truffles! AHHH YUM!

 

A recent request on the Oreo Truffles I made for valentines day originally came from a website that I have been following for some time - Bakerella - Love the name and her sugary treats have always been a huge hit whenever I make them. Click on Bakerella and it will bring you right to her site on how to make these yummy treats!   Fyi - you can also make these with Nutter Butters - just as good as the Oreo ones, if not better! Enjoy make your own treats!  

 

please watch

My Friend Evans recently traveled to Haiti with medical supplies, this is his video from his trip. Some of these pictures are graphic, and not intended for young eyes. I hope you watch this and realize to how important a small gesture of giving your money or time to help rebuild Haiti are. Evans you are a special person and I wish you and your family peace and love.

Cheese Spread

while I was cooking two different soups this morning, my mom was also inspired to cook something, so while flipping through her Joy of Cooking book a recipe card popped out! It was the recipe card she had been searching high and low for a month ago! She even called an old friend, it was her recipe for a Cheese spread, but no luck she did not have it either, probably because it was written over 25 years ago!!! Yup! Old School recipe for cheese spread - ahhh can we say "YUMMY!" 

so here it is so it can not get lost again!
