Oreo Cream Pie


 If I had to choose one of my families most requested pies it would be this or my recipe for oreo pudding cake (recipe link coming soon! ;) ) 

My Hubby isn't a huge fan of chocolate (๐Ÿ˜ฒI know crazy right! ;) ), but he LOVES anything with oreo or cookies and cream so I came up with this super simple pie for him & it's a favorite every time I make it :) 

Ingredients: 

  • Oreo cookie pie crust (either purchase pre-made or crush oreo cookies with a ninja chopper or blender & mix with melted butter and press into pie plate to form the crust)
  • 1 package oreo cookie and cream instant pudding mix (*also can use vanilla or white chocolate instant pudding mix, crush oreo cookies into a medium size chunks and mix into pudding before it sets)
  • 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 package cool whip or non dairy cool whip (I prefer Tru whip or coco-whip for a slight coconut flavor)
  • 1 package of Oreo cookies (we like to use double stuff or mint for a minty pie *If we are going for a mint pie I add a drop or 2 of peppermint oil to the oreo cookie and cream pudding mix while I'm mixing it with the milk)  
Directions:
  1. Mix pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups milk (* add peppermint or oreo chunks if needed or desired), refrigerate for 5 minutes to set
  2. Remove pudding from fridge & mix with 1/2 cup of thawed cool whip or non dairy whip to pudding mix and spread into pie crust.
  3. Top pie with remainder of cool whip/non dairy whip and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  4. Crush oreo pieces into small chunks with a fork or ninja chopper & sprinkle across top of pie

*For Christmas I like to make a peppermint version by adding a drop or two of peppermint essential oil to the pudding mix (Could use peppermint extract instead). For an additional topping I like to crush several candy cane pieces or use one crushed candy cane to sprinkle on the top for an added "holiday" flavor :)

Enjoy!

Touring the Plantations of Charleston, part I: Drayton Hall

One of our main hopes while we visited Charleston was to visit & tour some of the stunning southern plantations in the area. While we were in Charleston we managed to visit 4 out of 5 plantations that are in close proximity of the city.  Join me as I take us on a tour of Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation. We will stroll down history lane, as I share my favorite parts of each plantation, a little brief history of each, recommendations of what to see first, time to arrive at each plantation & best day/time to visit them.  To get started one of the first things to consider is which plantations you'd like to visit and the amount you are comfortable spending & then decide what time of year you plan to visit. You'll need to figure out how many plantations you plan to visit during your vacation and how you'd like to fit your tours into your schedule. *I'd also suggest planning to start your day(s) bright and early to allow...

Scrumptious Snickerdoodle Cake

 Hi there friend, We are celebrating my son's birthday this week & his first request was for this homemade cake to be at his party. The recipe was gifted to me from my Aunt J several years ago after it was an instant hit at a family gathering. My hubby isn't a huge chocolate fan (shocking, I know!๐Ÿ˜‰) so this has become his favorite desert that I make & is quickly becoming one of my kiddos faves and I think it will become one of yours as well. It's a delicious combo of light fluffy cake & creamy homemade frosting with an amazing snickerdoodle flavor.  If you love the taste of a snickerdoodle cookie this cake will delight your tastebuds and if you like baking but don't have a lot of time this is the perfect match on both accounts.  Simple to make & savory to the last bite.  It fits the bill for every birthday, holiday, special family event, is sure to be a crowd pleaser and a hit at any potluck, casual gathering & party. I hope you & your loved ...
