McDonald's Snack Size McFlurry

I went out to run a couple of errands yesterday which involved a quick stop at one of my favorite places: McDonald's. I looked at the panel with all the different dessert options such as sundae, ice cream cones, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. Those sounded good, but not that good.

Then I noticed the Snack Size McFlurry. Perfect, I thought! Creamy vanilla ice-cream with one topping! Or two J (For just .30 cents you can get an additional topping for your ice-cream)

Oreo and Reese’s Pieces were just right! Great combination…you get some of the crushed cookies along with a peanut butter taste as you enjoy the ice-cream. Ahhh! I was ready to come home afterwards.

I seriously loved my snack size McFlurry to Bits!

ps: next time, i'll snap a picture of it...because I know I will go back for another one! soon!!!

Stromboli

What words come to your mind when you think of making Stromboli?

For me:

difficult
complicated
takes too long

That'd be why my Hubby made it. He's really good with recipes that take a couple of hours and involve several steps.

My Mom recently found a cookbook called Frame by Frame which is an excellent resource to keep in your kitchen! Why so? It provides pictures for every single step of any recipe ---especially for a complicated one like Stromboli for me.

The pictures and instructions are straight to the point so you don't have to spend time double guessing yourself as to whether you are doing the right thing or not. (Ever done that?!?!)

I do have to tell you that Stromboli takes a few hours to make, but with an iced-Coke around and some fun people hanging out with you as you make this dish, time will pass by very quickly....AND they'll be quite happy with this dish!

Ingredients:

My Hubby made Stromboli filled with spinach, ham, cheese, and roasted red peppers.

It can be made with a variety of different ingredients depending on what you like.

Take a look and see how the instructions from the book compare to what the actual Stromboli looked in the end!

Steps:

1. Getting the dough ready.
