California Girls...Heat Wave!!

California has had a mild summer...I mean really...it is supposed to be 90s and above most of the summer where I live.  So...I will NOT complain...but today and the rest of the week...109...REALLY????  Just when the kids go back to school...summer finally hits:):)  Oh well...maybe we will have a nice Indian Summer!!  

So something that just happened to me...walking across a busy street.  I just bought cupcakes for some friends of mine...their birthdays...and I dropped one!!!  SO SAD...it was so pretty!!  LUCKILY it dropped and did not pop out of the box...so bummer...I had to eat it. I have had a terrible headache for days...maybe I will find out that cupcakes are the cure???

Have a beautiful & glorious day!!!

TTFN,

Kristin

These popovers are so YUMMY...you cannot believe it.  Whenever I do not have bread or have forgotten bread for a meal...I quickily make these popovers!  I always make extra to eat with jam the next morning.  Lets just say...these do not stay inthe house for very long....2 DIE 4!!!!! 

This week I served them with fresh blueberry...Ooooh I think I am hungry right now!!!

Mousse...YUMMY Summer Treat

NO...not that kind of Mousse!!

Well...I wish I could show you a picture of the DELICIOUS Mousse we made this week...BUT...the kids ate it all before I could run& get my camera!  I even had it in vintage dessert disshes...I guess I will just have to make another batch...bummer...


So...this is what I discovered.  The frosting recipe for the ice cream cake I recently made...also makes the most wonderful & light Chocolate Mousse!!!  Great for the summer...

2 Tubs of Cool Whip
Large package of Chocolate Pudding
1 cup of milk

Let cool whip thaw a little...mix all together...put in cute bowls...add a few sprinkles to the top...
AND you then have the most delicious, light Chocolate Mousse!!!

Oh, here is the picture of my ice cream cake...and boy was it GOOD too!!!
