Tacos Tonight

We wanted something easy tonight so we’re having ground beef tacos. I love how Lawry’s taco seasoning* tastes in this, it’s a shame that all the stores around town have stopped selling it (just have to order it online now). We’re having radish slices, chopped cilantro, chopped lettuce, and avocado as toppings to try and make it a little healthier but still tasty. When it comes to tacos though, healthy or not, they’re a freaking awesome dish to eat !

New Season of The Walking Dead

Mommy and me have fallen behind on the show but I know there’s a new season of it starting tonight and have the DVR set to record it. We’re gonna try and watch the series from the beginning. Are y’all looking forward to the new season starting?

(By the way, I wasn’t paid in any form to promote TWD, I’m just a fan of it.)

My back

I don’t know what caused it but my lower back hurts so much when I’m on my feet. I’m on couch rest until my back gets better. I hate leaving the cooking to mommy but she’d rather do the cooking than see me in pain. The sooner my back gets back to normal the better !

Bacon Whisperer

I was cooking up some bacon for a bacon cheeseburger and gave mommy some strips to snack on. When she ate that first strip of bacon, she thought it was so delicious that she called me the “bacon whisperer” lol ! I’m pretty sure who’ll be in charge of cooking any future bacon.

Frosty Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen reduced-fat vanilla yogurt, softened (used Mayfield Lowfat Frozen vanilla yogurt)
  • 1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust (9 inches) (used a crust that wasn’t reduced-fat)
  • 1 cup cooked or canned pumpkin (used canned pumpkin)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (used table salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed (used full-fat Cool-Whip)

Directions

  1. Take the frozen yogurt and spread it out evenly in the crust. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. During those 30 minutes, take a mixing bowl out and stir the following ingredients together until combined: pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt and ginger. Fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture (I actually had to stir to make sure everything was off the bottom of the bowl but I did it carefully). After 30 minutes has passed, pull the crust out of the freezer and spread the whipped topping mixture over the yogurt and place the pie back in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight (I chose to let it sit in the freezer overnight). Take the pie out 20 minutes before you plan on cutting it into individual portions.

Yields: 8 slices

October is finally here !!! I love Halloween so October makes me giddy. Unfortunately, it’s hotter than it usually is this time of year so the only way to make it feel like fall is through food and what I watch. You can taste the classic pumpkin pie flavor in this and the frozen yogurt pairs perfectly with it. The graham cracker crust is a nice contrast to the soft and creamy pie filling. This is a great no-bake pie that’ll make you feel like fall is here even if the weather still says it’s summer-time.

Take care y’all !

Changes

Hey everybody, this is Lisa. Mommy’s decided not to be involved with the blog. She has so much to deal with and stepping away from the blog makes things a little bit easier for her.

I’ve been trying to figure out what direction I want to take this blog in with it just being me now. I’ve decided that any new recipes posted are only going to be ones that I find delicious . There will be days that the recipes I make don’t turn out to be worth posting. On those days, I’ll still be posting, just won’t be a recipe.

To the current 117 followers, thanks for sticking with me despite going lengths of time without posting.

Hope y’all will enjoy what I have to post in the future. Take care y’all !
