Chocolate Cream Pie

I love to cook and bake with chocolate. I like to eat chocolate. I am the only one in the house that eats chocolate. Knowing this, hopefully, you understand that I don't dare make too much chocolate. When school starts, I bake for my class and then I can again open the door to chocolate. They don't leave a crumb for me to be concerned about.

This pie is one of those that have layers of delicious ingredients. First a Mock Oreo pie crust. Then a cream cheese/whipped topping layer, then a bit of peanut butter and chocolate chips followed by the CHOCOLATE layer and some crumbs for the top. Fortunately, I have grandchildren coming for the weekend. I also have cookies and brownies. Grandma's prerogative......

I use a cream filled cookie like Oreos but a different brand. For the sake of ease, I will call it Oreo, for this recipe.


Oreo Pie Crust  

 2 1/2 cups Oreo or substitute cream filled cookie crumbs (Pulse in food processor)
3 tablespoons of margarine 

I melted the margarine in the Pyrex pie plate in my microwave. I added the cookie crumbs, in the pan and pressed them in to form the crust.

Fillings:

Creamy filling: ( I cut the ingredients in half. This is half.)

 4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
6 ounces whipped topping
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

 Method:

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.

Gently add the whipped topping and mix. (Do not use beaters)

Place this carefully on top of pie crust.

I warmed up 1/3 cup of peanut butter and spread it in the middle over the cream.

Top peanut butter which should cover 3/4 of surface with a sprinkling of chocolate chips.


 Chocolate Layer:

Mix one package of instant chocolate pudding with 1 cup of milk. This will be thick.

 When it is mixed well, mix in remaining whipped topping (I think it is 6 ounces) I am referring to something like Cool Whip which comes in a tub, not the kind you have to beat although I see no reason for not doing the work ourselves.  Spread on top of the pie.

 Take extra cookie crumbs and sprinkle on top of pie. You can use chocolate chip (miniature) or chocolate sprinkles or anything that appeals to you.

Eat and Enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
