Mmmm PIE!!!

I love watching anything on TV that has to do with food especially shows like Man vs Food on travel channel and Dinners, Drive In's and dives on food network those are two of my favorite show. 

I was watching this episode of Man vs Food and thought I have to make this pie!!!
Make sure you scroll to the bottom of my page and pause the music player..

So I did and let me tell you its pretty freaking amazing :)

Here is what you are going to need..

Pie Crust

(this can be from the store or home made I was being ultra lazy so I used store crust..)

1/2 Cup crunchy peanut butter 

1 Cup powdered sugar

1 Tbsp Cocoa powder

1 pkg of instant vanilla pudding

1 Container of Coolwhip

Bake your pie crust and let it cool completely.

Then make your vanilla pudding and put in the fridge

Then take the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and peanut butter and mix together until it forms into crumbs.

You are then going to put a layer of the peanut butter mixture down into the pie crust I put about half in and then you are going to get your vanilla pudding out and place it on top of the peanut butter mixture. 

Once you have the pudding in the pie crust you are then going to put the remainder of the peanut butter mixture on top of the vanilla pudding. You could put half of what you have left on top of the pudding and then the other half on top of the cool whip but since mine was going to be to covered in the fridge and not ate quickly I just put it all on the pudding. 

Once you decide what to do with your peanut butter mixture you are then going to want to put the cool whip on top of the pudding/peanut butter mixture. 

If you want to get real ambitious you could make home made whip cream and use that instead. 

Refrigerate your pie for an hour or two and then enjoy!! :)

Small roots..

Going home is always a nice escape from where we currently live.. Tony and I headed up to Oregon on the 30th and came back to Nevada on the 6th of August..

I always love going home to see friends specifically Rachel and her kids you might recall her from a blog I did on her a couple months ago. If not you can go here and read all about Rachel :)

These kids are something special that's for sure.. They change so much when  I am not home. It does make it exciting to go home and see how they've changed but then again it makes me a little sad too because I dont get to see them nearly as much as I want to. The boys are reading and learning so much now makes it feel old because I remember helping teach them how to count, potty training them and just remember them being little babies and now they can count beyond fifty. Hailee.. the little princess reminds me of the boys when they where 2 so its interesting to get to compare them. Plus she gave me lots of free make overs so I was looking pretty amazing at home with my "make up" being done..

Cupcakes <3

You wouldn't be reading my blog if I didn't talk to you about food.. 

There is a little bakery in Richland, Wa called Frost Me Sweet, Obviously they specialize in sweets specifically to die for cupcakes. I am going to be dreaming about this place till I go home. The ones we got where maple and bacon(to die for), cookies and cream, red velvet, chocoholic and strawberry white chocolate etc.. Don't worry though I didn't eat all of these by myself although I really wish I had :)

Coffee <3

I love coffee.. as all of you know so I had to get coffee from all my favorite shops at home, I wish we had some good local coffee shops where we live but we dont so I just drink Starbucks when I am in Nevada. But there is something about a caramel latte from Moxie Java in Boise Idaho that just tastes so good, same with a Dark blended sinful(caramel, chocolate sauce and vanilla) sooo good.. I wish we had good little coffee shops here!!!

Going home it took us a long time because we messed around in Boise took the dogs to the dog park to tire them out so they didn't go crazy for the last part of our trip home. I should've taken a picture of the truck loaded up to come back because we brought my couch back down here and then everything else we got up in Oregon because they have no sales tax..

Sunday: relaxed

Monday: saw the kids

Tuesday: took Dillon and Zane to lunch and the park :)

Wednesday: went to Washington got cupcakes and tortured by the dermatologist.

Thursday: Went to dentist and got tortured by him..

Friday: Took our dogs to the vet :)

Over all it was a very successful trip home to Oregon. We took some photos while we where up there so eventually you will see some changes to my blog and I will share those with you a bit later :). I start school in three weeks :( so I am going to be knocking some blogs out of the way that I have been putting off. Look out for photos of clothes I bought :) and changes to the blog!!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!
