Root Beer Float Pie

I can't believe we are already going into November. My baby is going to be 3 on Sunday, time is going by so fast. When I think about November I think about my daughter's birthday, pie, type 1 diabetes awareness month, and family. I can't wait for Thanksgiving this year because it's going to be our biggest one yet. I am trying out new pies to see which one I want to make for Thanksgiving besides the Oreo Cheesecake. This week I made Root beer float pie and it was delicious.

 Ingredients: 

1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust

2 cups of Vanilla Ice Cream

1/2 cup of sugar
4 tsp of Root Beer Concentrate (Baking isle in Walmart)
1/2 can of  Root Beer 
2 8oz containers of Cool Whip 
( This made two pies for me so for one pie I would use 1 container of cool whip) 

Directions:

Mix together ice cream, sugar, root beer, and root beer concentrate. Then pour both container's of cool whip and mix very well. Then pour the mixture into the pie crust. Place in the freezer for 4 hours. I usually take it out a half an hr before eating it so it is slightly melted.

 Happy Eating. Hope you enjoy!

What's Been Going On?

Hey Everyone I know it's been awhile but like always things have been crazy. We took a vacation to New Jersey for the first time with the kids and they LOVED it. We are now getting ready to move once again and so close to school starting. Mariah will be in 1st grade this year and she is turning 7 in a few weeks.  Then we have our anniversary coming up also. September is always the start of our busy time birthdays, anniversaries, and then the holidays. I hope to get back in the swing of things again :) Exciting things are happening.

Chili Cheese Dog Casserole

Today is Monday and I am exhausted. Saturday I got my hair colored for the first time ever. After that I took my 6 year old dress shopping for the Daddy Daughter Dance coming up this Saturday and Sunday we went to both my nieces birthday party which was Frozen. So all weekend we have been running around. I wanted to go easy tonight and get these girls to bed because we all need sleep.

Ingredients:

2 (15 oz) cans chili ( I didn't use beans)
1 (16 oz)  hot dogs
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas 
1 (8 oz) package Cheddar cheese, shredded

What You'll Need:

9x13 baking dish

  
Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Pour one can of chili in the baking dish. Then roll up the hot dogs inside the tortillas and put them in the baking dish. After that pour your second can of chili on top and then top with cheese. We like the Cracker Barrel cheddar cheese better so I with shred a block and then place on top. Yummy. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes and you're done.

Fast easy and yummy what more could you want. It was a win for my husband too who is a picky eater. He doesn't like beans, pork, peppers, onions and probably more I can't remember. Here are some pictures of our weekend.

Crockpot Broccoli and Cheese Chicken

Brrrrrr today is cold. This morning when we woke up it was 30. I know I know you people in the north are probably saying suck it up buttercup it's 1 here. We are just not use to the cold here. It was so cold here we didn't have water this morning. Today is also Friday which means Girl Scouts for us so I decided to make Broccoli and Cheese Chicken in the crockpot. It already sounds warm. I can't wait to get started.

Ingredients:

4 Boneless Chicken Breast thawed

1 cup of sharp cheddar shredded

1/2 cup of sour cream
1 can of Campbells Broccoli and Cheese Soup (10 1/2oz)
1 bag of Frozen Chopped Broccoli (10oz)

What You'll Need:

Crockpot

  
Directions:

We start off by cooking the chicken on high for 3 hours covered

Then drain the juices after 3 hours

Next mix the soup, sour cream, and shredded cheese together and pour the mixture over the chicken.

Top the chicken with the broccoli and cook on high for 1 more hour.

After a long day today it was a great dinner. Now I just want to cuddle up and go to sleep.

Valentine's Day Conversation Heart Cheesecakes

So this Valentine's I wanted to surprise Brian again with a little dessert. Last year I made homemade sugar cookies with royal icing from scratch. I was also ready to pop (33 weeks pregnant). I remember making them and being on my feet all day it was rough but I like doing surprises for my husband. This year I made cheesecake. I was nervous because I never made cheesecake before. The day before Valentine's I made them then finished them off right before we left to go deliver them.

What You Will Need: 
Stand mixer
Roasting pan

Wilton Heart Shape Silicone Mold

Fine tip paint brush for food only

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

1 cup of sugar

1/2 a stick of melted butter

16oz (2 blocks of cream cheese) softened

1 cup of graham crackers

A pinch of cinnamon (I didn't use any)

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 pint 16oz sour cream

Food coloring I used- Neon pink, purple, orange, and yellow and blue from the original box

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Then I put the graham crackers in my little chopper and mixed in the melted butter. This is where you can add the cinnamon I chose not to because my husband is allergic. After it looks like sand I put a little bit in each mold and then popped them in the fridge until I was ready to pour the filling in them. While they're in the fridge I added the cream cheese to the bowl of the stand mixer. Beat until nice and smooth and scrape the sides. While it's mixing you can put water in a pot to boil to fill the roasting pan for the cheesecake water bath (you only need enough to pour half way up the heart mold). Then add the sugar mixing for about a minute and then add the eggs until nice and creamy.  Add the sour cream and vanilla until it's combined. I then took 6 bowls and filled them with the filling. I started to add a little food coloring and gradually put more and more to get the color just right. I used 2 silicone molds 12 little cheesecakes. I made 3 colors and then poured them in the mold, poured the boiling water in half way up the sides and put them in the oven for 22-25 minutes. If your hearts are filled then I would bake them for 26-28 minutes. While they are baking I made the other 3 colors while I boiled a little more water for the second batch.

  Once they are out of the oven they need to cool at room temperature for about an hour.

Once that's done I put them in the freezer over night and kept my husband out of there because this was his surprise. 

  The day after I popped the hearts out of the molds and started to write on them.

1. I did not have a fine paint brush I used another one so it came out a little wonky. (I need some practice)
2. As I was writing my kids discovered them and was bumping the table asking when they were going to get theirs and screaming so I was concentrating on not spelling them wrong because I have mom brain. I forget everything  I have no brain cells left. 

I hope you enjoy your cheesecakes because I never even got a bite. As I pulled out of my husbands work I was getting texts saying they were awesome which made me so happy. Plus like I said I have never made cheesecake before so I was kind of nervous but they turned out great.

    

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day we sure did. Here are some pictures of our Valentine's. I made some heart shape pancakes with some heart sprinkles. Also it was Brooke's 11 month birthday so of course I had to take a picture. That night Brian surprised me by taking me to the Melting Pot for dinner. We went there a couple years ago and now it's kind of our tradition.
