Do you ever have those mornings where you totally wake up on the righ side of the bed, slow drivers don’t take up the left lane, and you can coast through the morning without a care in the world? Today is one of those days my friends and I am taking advantage…they don’t happen all that often!
Please tell me you’ve heard Adele’s cover of “Someone Like You”–if not, you must listen to this…gosh that woman has some pipes and her voice is just incredible. I think I’ll be running out today to buy her latest album.
In other news, last night I FINALLY made a family favorite dish…I’ve had the recipe for awhile, but just never had made my Gran’s famous Frozen Champagne Salad–amazing I tell you, and the perfect frozen treat to round out summer…and even better, this was another new dish so I am 4 for 4 weeks on this goal–way to go me!
Ingredients
8 oz Softened Cream Cheese (I used light)
1 Large (16 oz) Can of Crushed Pineapple (Drain Well)
16 oz Frozen Strawberries (Partially Thawed)
1 Cup of Chopped Pecans
2 Sliced Bananas (Quarter the Slices)
8 oz Cool Whip (I used light)
¾ Cup of Sugar
Directions
– First, mix cream cheese, pineapple, strawberries, pecans and sugar.
– Add in bananas.
– Fold in the cool whip.
– Pour into glass casserole or rubbermade type container with an air tight lid (I used square 9×9). Smaller containers will yield thicker portions and individual serving size are based on personal preference.
– Place in freezer for at least 4 hours. It is okay to freeze overnight.
–To serve, remove the lid and let stand at room temperature for ~15 – 30 minutes (just until it starts to thaw around the edges). The salad is intended to be served slightly frozen. Use a plastic knife to cut into individual servings. Cover remaining salad and place back into freezer for up to 1 week.
This weekend marks the 1 year wedding anniversary of the BFF and her hubby…congrats Meg and Aaron–I know you’re going to have a fantasticly fun and rememberable time {partly because I know what each of you has planned for the other–haha} and can’t wait to hear all about it. Love you both very much!
