Red Velvet, Whip, and Blueberry Trifle

For the 4th, I made a festive trifle complete with the color scheme of the day.

1 box Red Velvet Cake, prepared as directed and cooled.
eggs, oil (per cake directions)
2 boxes jello instant pudding, I used cheesecake
4 C milk
2 cans Coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 C blueberries, rinsed

Prepare cake and bake. Allow to cool. In the meantime prepare pudding and refrigerate. For Coconut whip cream, Chill metal bowl and mixers in freezer for 5 minutes. Flip cans upside down and open, drain out liquid (save for another use) and put cream in bowl to mix. Mix cream and beat in sugar and vanilla. Set aside. Crumble half of cake into large trifle or punch bowl. Layer with half of pudding mixture, half of coconut whip and half of blueberries. Repeat layer and chill.

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

 Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine  a bit!

Mac & Cheese Showdown

Comfort food reminds me of childhood and nothing was more comforting than a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. Once my dad even mixed mac and cheese with spaghettios, it was terrible and my siblings and I still won't let it go. Recently due to a coupon which the grocery store doubled, I purchased a box of Betty Crocker macaroni and cheese. So I decided to do a Betty vs. Kraft challenge. Let's see how they add up. Betty Can cook everything in one pot (+1) Has the ultraviolet orange color (+1) Not as cheesy tasting (-1) Took awhile for liquid to thicken up (-1) Kraft Classic taste cannot be denied (+1) Childhood memories (+1) Mac and cheese is available in a ton of flavors, shapes and some even have whole grain (+1) Missing that ultraviolet orange color (-1) So it looks like Kraft is the hands down winner. Just like the commercials used to say "I've got the blues Kraft macaroni and cheese!" But I would buy Betty again just because of the convenience...

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!
