Queen of slut is...

Jen DeMunck! You know how people say it's better to give than to receive? Well not this time my friends. I was ecstatic to be on the receiving end of my new favourite dessert.
It was the Russian Doll of cookies: An OREO cookie inside a homemade chocolate chip cookie. How brilliantly sneaky. Thanks Jen for introducing me to a whole new world of cookie opportunity. If only I can figure out how to get a Fudgeo inside a Pirate cookie inside a chocolate chip cookie...

A day full of slut

For father's day I decided to surprise Jeff with all of his favourite foods. Unfortunately, he doesn't have 5 star Michelin tastes...
The day started off with Pilsbury Cinnamon rolls which was subdued compared to what was to come.

An hour later, we pulled up to Popeye's. We got a family meal which comprised of 8pc of fried chicken, mac+cheese, red beans and rice and coleslaw. If you're into fried chicken, Popeye's is the place to go. But my gut was crying for mercy.

By the time my indigestion cured itself, it was time to go for dinner. I swear I heard my intestines say 'nooooooooooo moooooooooooooooore'. Anyway, Jeff couldn't have been happier with the final selection of the day - Red Lobster. The best part of the meal were the biscuits that came with our drinks. By the time I was wiping the crumbs off my face from my 3rd biscuit in comes our dinner. Mine a shrimp platter - fried shrimp, shrimp alfredo and shrimp bathing in garlic and butter sauce. Jeff's something even worse. I don't think I will have shrimp for another month. It's bad when a restaurant turns you off what's considered to be a delicacy.

I am glad father's day is another year away.

Ode to my friend Val

Last night I made my favourite green bean casserole - straight out of the 50's. It had frozen beans, mushroom soup, cheddar cheese and the best part... French's fried onions on top. My friend Val who isn't much of an eater (well that's what it looks like anyway) even had seconds! That's how I knew it was good. And then she took some home which I thought was a bit greedy but that's a story on my other blog - www.whatnottodoatadinnerparty.com. Do note, it is a Weight Watchers recipe. Jennifer Hudson would be proud.

Ode to Slutty Foods

Jen Demunck led a team of cake decorating experts to create a wonderful farewell gift for me from work. The fondant decorations consisted of all foods slutty including but not limited to: Nutella, pierogies, fries, bacon, hamburger, chocolate croissants, etc. To seal the deal that overeating during pregnancy is a given, I had a heaping serving of the double chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream layers. So slutty.
As a side note, the dessert was preceded by an all you can eat chinese buffet where they served everything from dim sum to pierogies. Not quite authentic chinese but the jello and fried dough balls dipped in sugar were welcomed regardless.
Thank you again Jen and team for a wonderful lunch.

Pierogies, Bacon and Cheese - Oh my!

Had my monthly slutty brunch at the Chilanteas today to ring in the new year. We had delicious Panettone French Toast, sausge and cheese biscuits, my slutty hashbrown casserole (one of the first updates I ever posted)and a NEW pierogi casserole.

As if potato and cheese pierogies aren't slutty enough, I added a layer of cream cheese, crumbled bacon and a final layer of shredded cheese that would then bubble to perfection after 20 minutes in the oven. Needless to say, after a few bites of each thing on our plates - we were full. And slightly nauseous. Oh well, we had fun.

Happy New Year to the 4 of you that read this blog.
