Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert


Here's a little something I whipped up for girls' night. I can hardly call it a recipe - just a few yummy sweets dumped in a dish that taste super delish when combined.

Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

1 box ice cream sandwiches (I used about 10)
1 jar hot fudge sauce
1 tub Cool Whip (I used the reduced fat store brand)
Crushed Oreos or other other cookies/candy

Line the bottom of a 9x13" dish with ice cream sandwiches. Pour hot fudge sauce over sandwiches and spread evenly. Spread Cool Whip over fudge sauce. Sprinkle crushed cookies over the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

Quiche


Aaron doesn't like recipes with baked eggs. So when he was going out of town I decided it was the perfect time to bake a quiche! I love quiche. Breakfast food in pie crust...what's not to love?

Quiche
From Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book

1 pie crust
4 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half, light cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup chopped cooked ham (I used some ham and some bacon)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Prepare and roll out pie crust. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake at 450 for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 4-5 minutes more or until pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 325.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl stir together eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Stir in ham. In a small bowl toss together the cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot, baked pastry shell. Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Easiest Muffins Ever

I pinned this recipe on Pinterest ages ago and finally made these for breakfast last week. You couldn't ask for it to be any easier! There's no oil, butter or eggs in these. I think this is even a well-known Weight Watchers treat. Also, you can experiment with different cake flavors and add-ins. I used spice cake and added cinnamon chips.

Easiest Muffins Ever

1 box cake mix
1 can pumpkin
Add-ins such as chocolate or cinnamon chips or nuts

Thoroughly combine cake mix and pumpkin. Mix in add-ins. Spoon into paper-lined muffin tins. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until done.
