Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Sliders - 4/28/2015

Hello, everyone.  I didn't buy dessert tonight. So, I had some dark chocolate peanut butter, a four pack of King's Hawaiian rolls and some cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter and created Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Sliders.

I cut each roll in half and pan fried them in the cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter and then put the dark chocolate peanut butter between the two halves.  It's quite good.  Here is a picture of them before I ate them.

Try these out on the kids and yourself.  A glass of milk or coffee would go great with this.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Strawberry Array - 4/12/2015

Hello, everyone.  I celebrated my 43rd birthday yesterday.  The day before that, I was at a dinner for International students that are interns at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Spring, CO.  I decided to make a "Strawberry Array" plate.  Here is a picture of it minus the ones I made with Nutella.

I sliced bananas and put it in the strawberry. I also added blueberry greek whipped yogurt and put a blueberry in the strawberry after I cored a portion of it.  I hope you like it.  That's it for this blog post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Waffle House Sauce - 4/5/2015

Happy Easter, everyone.  Last week, I had the chance to go to Waffle House in Colorado Springs, Co. for breakfast.  While I was waiting for my order, the place card on the table promoted their new Waffle House sauce made by Heinz.  I asked my server for 2 packets of them.  One of them I used on my breakfast and the other one I took home.

The taste reminds me of a mild chipotle sandwich spread.

I hope you get the chance to go to Waffle House and try it.  That's it for this blog post. Until my next post, have a great day.

Thin Mint Sandwich Cookies - 2/22/2015

Hello, everyone.  Today is a snow day from most churches in Colorado.  I bought some Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies in front of the King Soopers in Colorado Springs on Friday.  I was bored and made Thin Mint Sandwich Cookies.  On one, I put creamy peanut butter between 2 cookies and on the other one, I put pumpkin spice cream cheese between 2 other cookies.  This picture shows the peanut butter one on top and the pumpkin spice cream cheese one on the bottom.

Here's the link to the Youtube video I made on this: Peanut Butter Thin Mint Sandwich Cookies

I hope you all enjoy making these.  That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a warm and safe day.

French Fry Heaven Out Of Business In Colorado - 2/18/2015

Hello, everyone. I found out today from the Colorado Springs Gazette that French Fry Heaven is out of business in Colorado. Their last day was 2/15/15. Not even 8 months in business. That's shorter than Jake's Wayback Burgers was in business in Colorado.

It looks like not enough customers who wanted expensive french fries with toppings.  It's getting cheaper and cheaper to make our own fries and toppings.  Stretch that dollar like it's rubber.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a good day.

Sweet Toast From Doug's Breakfast & Lunch - 2/14/2015

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

     Yesterday, I went to Doug's Breakfast & Lunch in Colorado Springs, CO.  I had their Sweet Toast French Toast. It's cracked wheat berry bread dipped in their orange batter with hints of vanilla and cinnamon.  Here's the link for this picture.

Sweet Toast

I hope you will go there soon for breakfast or lunch.  They are located on Austin Bluffs near N. Academy.  This location used to be Top That Pizza.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Any Size Coffee & Soda Going Up - 1/31/2015

Hello.  I went to the McDonald's on Austin Bluffs Parkway & Barnes in Colorado Springs, CO. I ordered a sausage biscuit and a large coffee.  I was told by one of the managers that today was the last day for any size coffee and soda for $1.  As of Feb. 1, the price goes up to $1.19 plus tax.  Whenever the minimum wage goes up, the majority of the menu items' prices go up as well.

I would rather buy a grocery store brand 2-liter of soda instead of paying that price. You'll probably see a decrease in sales starting next month due to price increases.  As far as that coffee is concerned, McDonald's doesn't have the single UHT liquid creamers anymore.  It's all powdered.  I'm not a fan of powdered cream.  I would avoid McDonald's coffee unless it was free.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a good day.
