AJ's Frozen Banana Split Ice Cream Cake recipe!

I just had to change the recipe a little so the hubs could eat and have a taste. I replaced the chocolate fudge with a marshmallow topping since we couldn't find a ready made white chocolate topping at the time. (Chocolates trigger hubs' migraine. So as much as possible when I make some dessert it shouldn't include chocolate or he would end up having a migraine. Oh! Poor little thing!) Anyways, anybody can make this just as long as you have all the necessary ingredients you're ready to roll.

Ingredients:

Ice Cream Bars
Cool Whipped Cream
Maraschino Cherries (chopped)
Bananas (sliced)
Butterscotch topping
Marshmallow topping (instead of the chocolate fudge)
Regular Peanuts (she used toffee bits)

This recipe is all about layering:
1. Put the ice cream bars on the bottom of the pan.
2. Put the slice banana on top.
3. Put the maraschino next.
4. Then sprinkle some peanuts.
5. Drizzle it with the Butterscotch and Marshmallow topping.
6. Layer it with some more ice cream bars.
7. Then top it of with the cool whipped cream.
8. Lastly, sprinkle it with some more peanuts.

Freeze it overnight or when it's set then serve.

Here's Aj again......

AJ had to use the potty before taking a bath. It was taking her long that I had to rush her.

Mom: AJ will you please hurry up! It's getting late and we have to go. Chop! Chop!

AJ: Come out, come out Poopoo! Hurry up! Stop wasting my time!!!!

Nyahaha....

This girl can really crack me up. I don’t need any proxy to fill her place in my heart. I love you babe! Muah!!!

Hey Mom!

Out of the blue she said this out loud

AJ: Hey Mom! Look I'm tall as you are.

Are you SHRINKING or something?

Nyahaha......

Spring will be here soon!

Time flies so fast I can't believe spring is almost here. The perfect time to remove clutters and excess from our home. It's time to get the outdoors ready for entertaining. Clean the patio and outdoor furniture. Do some basic landscaping repairs on the lawn. The exterior doors and windows of the home may need some attentionlike new paint. Check for fence and shutters repair. Lawn maintenance or pest prevention may need to be performed as well. With a little effort this spring, outdoor areas will be ready to entertain throughout the summer. Aren't you excited? I'm not! Hihi... For me Spring means Allergy Season. Yes! I'm not looking forward to that but if you say warm weather??? Bring it on! I'm so tired of the cold weather already! Arrrgg!!!

Anyways, if you need replacement for your shutters did you know that Larson Shutter Company provides a large selection of exterior shutters for your home? Visit their easy, safe and secure online shopping at www.LarsonShutter.com. Happy Hunting!

Happy Birthday BabyDoll!!!

We just got back from Virginia and she wanted to blow her cake before going to bed. Even if she's exhausted that didn't stop her so we gave in and just let her, I was planning to do it the next day but she was too excited. I made AJ's ice cream cake Friday night. It's a Frozen Banana Split Ice Cream Cake inspired by Ms Paula Deen of Paula's Home Cooking. (Food Network) AJ is not fond of the regular cake (she said it's too sweet for her taste. Yes! She's that picky) she prefers ice cream cake instead... so there I made her one. She went to sleep very happy.

Getting a break from Reality!

Vacations are one of the best things in the world. You get to see new things and discover places you thought doesn't exist. You get to experience different cultures and create some good memories. Best of all we get a break from reality. Experience the bliss in our temporary home away from home. Ahhh Bliss! But lets face it- Vacations can be too darn expensive if it's not well planned. Sometimes I wish it's cheap like this eyeglasses. (Dream On!) Where you can find it at ZenniOptical.com

They sell stylish prescription glasses online starting from $8. They were highly recommended by the New York Times since they are one of the cheapest sellers of eyeglasses in the country. They were right about not breaking the bank just to see straight. For the fashionista in you don't worry. They have something for everyone. They take great pride and strive to provide fashionable and stylish products so you don't need to sacrifice anything and would still look FABULOUS. Best of all you don't have to spend a fortune. Ain't that great? My pick was the Acetate Full-Rim Frame with Spring Hinges in clear brown or black. It sure will look good in everything I have in my closet. *Wink*

Anyways, we had a very busy weekend. We just got back from our Virginia Weekend Getaway for my babydoll's 6th Birthday Celebration. We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg. Fun Times! (More stories later)

Busy Weekend!

We had a very busy weekend with Valentines and AJ's 6th Birthday Celebration (Sunday). I'm dead tired. Gosh! I'll try to catch up with you guys later. Have a good week ahead Everyone!
