It's one of my kids favorite holidays, St.Patrick's Day.  I know what all of you are saying, but it can be a fun holiday!  The leprechauns come and turn our milk green and leave a little treat!  I try to make a special dinner and end the night with the kids favorite, Grasshopper Cake.  I have done this for a number of years, but have forgotten to post it, so sorry!  I hope I'm not to late for you to give it a try this year.  Who knows, the leprechauns might come to visit you if you make it!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!



Judi' Grasshopper Cake
recipe and picture adapted from www.afarmgirlsdabbles.com


Ingredients
for the cake:
1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist White Cake Mix with pudding in the mix
1-1/4 c. water
1/3 c. vegetable oil
3 egg whites
4 oz. Creme de Menthe Syrup

for the topping:
1 16-oz. jar hot fudge topping
1 8-oz. container Cool Whip, thawed ( I used real whipping cream!)
4 oz. Creme de Menthe
chopped Andes Mints for garnish, optional

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° for shiny metal or glass pan, or to 325° for dark or nonstick pan. Spray the bottom only of 9'' x 13'' pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes more. Scrape the bowl occasionally. Batter will be a bit lumpy. Stir in the Creme de Menthe. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 27 to 32 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Be careful to not over bake, as it will end up dry. Cool completely.

Gently spread the fudge topping evenly over the cake. In a medium bowl, stir together the Cool Whip and 2 ounces Creme de Menthe. Spread mixture evenly over the fudge. If desired, garnish with chopped Andes Mints. Store covered in the refrigerator.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
