November from my phone

Callie got her school pictures back 1. It’s my favorite so far 2. She’s just beautiful 3. She looks so much older that my heart hurts a little every time I look at it, in a good way

I broke down and we listened to our first Christmas song, Mariah Carey Christmas gets me every time!

I ordered/bought Callie a pair of pants for the first time in probably a year.  She said she liked them, now if she’ll wear them….

Levi got to come with us to school one morning while his mommy and daddy went to find out if he was having a brother or sister!

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Triffle

If you love desserts, and chocolate, and peanut butter, then you MUST try this!  It’s from Betty Crocker’s App for i-Pad (which by the way has so amazing recipes in there and a must to download).  I’ve been wanting to make this for a while and finally got the excuse to make it when supper club needed someone to make a dessert.  One thing I did different from the recipe is make separate chocolate and peanut butter cookies, they call for the mix with both in there, but I couldn’t find it, plus it didn’t seem to effect the taste.  Seriously, I cannot wait to make this again, yum!

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Trifle
Who wouldn't love cookies and cream layered in a giant serving bowl?
Ingredients
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® chocolate peanut butter chip cookie mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1 egg
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups whipping (heavy) cream
2 tablespoons chopped chocolate-covered peanuts
Directions
Heat oven to 350ºF. Make cookies as directed on pouch, using oil, water and egg. Bake and cool as directed. Cut each cookie into fourths.
 
Melt butter and brown sugar in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is smooth. Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
