So sorry that this is late again! We are at Starbuck's again...............bad Internet!

Here are our sugar cookies. Nothing changed......................see you in 2 weeks for the cheesecake. No pudding for us!

TWD Kugelhopf???

Well we were planning on making this but just as we started to get the ingredients together we realized we had no eggs! So we ended up not doing it:( Next week we are planning on making the rice pudding(YUCK:) None of us kids like it but our Mom and Dad do so we are going to make them there own individual ones! Sorry if we disappointed anyone but by the time we got eggs we saw how long the recipe took, we decided that we wouldn't have enough time to make it:)

Well, we were really excited about making the Peanut Topped Brownie Cake, but our schedule this week wasn't :-(

We have been SO BUSY. This last week we've had 9 music rehearsal, lessons, and school stuff..................very tired, yet wide awake and busy ;0)

But, you can be sure that we will do the last two recipes......................we've already done them. So yummy!

Tune in next week for the Almond Biscotti!

TWD REWIND~ Chocolate Chunkers

Well we were planning on making the Creme Brulee but then found out that we could do a rewind! We had none of the right tools for the Creme Brulee so decided to make the chunkers again. The reason we didn't make the  Oatmeal chocolate chipsters, ( we loved those!) is because we ran out of peanut butter! So instead we went with our second favorite TWD cookie recipe..........CHOCOLATE CHUNKERS! This time around we put in peanuts, chocolate chips,  crushed Ore's and chopped peanut butter cups the were very good! Till next week!

Chocolate Chunkers! TWD

Oh my were these so delicious! We all absolutely loved these chunky cookies. Though we did make a few changes; instead of the raisins, and nuts, we put in chopped chocolate covered coffee beans, and we also added 1T. instant espresso!

We will definitely be making these again!

Be sure to tune in next week for the Dimply Plum Cake

Look at all those chunky choloate pieces!

Our Brother Phillip enjoying these Malted Cookies!

TWD~ Chocolate Malted Whopper Sandwich Cookies!

Well as you can see from the picture we decided to make an ice cream sandwich out of it! We had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer and thought that since they were sooooooo chocolaty that a little ice cream in between would really help out;0 ) Then it looked a little bare so what could we do but add some chucks of a dark chocolate bar we had laying in the pantry! It was scrumptious! We were not really excited about trying these cookies because we(us girls) do not like Malt or Whoppers. So we thought we would make them and just feed them to our brothers, they really liked them! We braved it and took a bite and were very surprised on how much we liked them. Oh and I almost forgot to mention we put in white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate, it was a very nice variation since there was already soooo much chocolate flavor. I would not say these are my favorite cookie but one we will most likely make again!

Mmm. look at that cookie!

TWD~ Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chipsters

Well, there's not to much to say about these yummy cookies except we all really enjoyed them! They didn't have as much of a peanutty flavor as I wished put I really loved the spices! At first we were a little worried"Cinnamon and Nutmeg?" We really liked them and the spices really added a nice "warm" feel, next time I think we will use natural peanut butter for a more peanutty flavor,will definitely make them again. As you can see in the picture we cut up a Peanut Butter Cup and laid it on the top! YUM!

TWD~Granola Grabbers

This weeks recipe I would have to say was very good. We made a few changes though, we skipped the peanuts, almonds and raisins. Instead we used pecans, cranberries and added cinnamon extract, we decided to go for a more fall feel! We also accidentally forgot the wheat germ! Whoops! But we did use all whole wheat flour so I think that's maybe why they turned out. We brought these to our church potluck and everyone really liked them! Thank you Michelle for picking this recipe we really enjoyed it!

Mmmm. Fresh Oatmeal cookies!

All Tied Up Pretty Like!

TWD~Lemon Sour Cream Ice Cream

Well, we thought that blueberry lemon ice cream would be wonderful, just not with the special dessert we were planning on making for our mother. So we changed it a little..........and it was sooooo yummy! I loved the sour cream addition! Oh the dessert was a Raspberry Almond White Chocolate Bread............and of course we used our raw cows milk for the ice cream...............could it ever get any better? Well maybe if we had made the sour cream............next time!

Check back later for TWD:(

Due to the Internet going off and on because of the weather and not being able to find the camera cord we will have to post our TWD ice cream later. Sorry:( Will try and post as asap!

TWD~ Vivano Trifle

Two teenage girls, favorite place to go? The mall.......nope, not these girls! We would rather go to Starbucks and dissect there food trying to figure out "how its made"!

I know that sounds rather weird to some of you, but its the truth!

So a few weeks ago when we were at Starbucks, we saw their advertising for the two new Vivano Smoothies; Mango orange, and chocolate banana. While we were enjoying sipping our coffee, I saw on the billboard advertising this beverage "add espresso for $.??!" Oh! I thought, Tuesdays with Dorie! Banana, Chocolate.................bingo coffee! Great combo!

So we decided that we were going to take this ordinary recipe out of the ordinary.....................a Vivano Trifle!

So how did we create this fantastic trifle? Well first it was kind of a mistake, we were planning on doing something a little different then a trifle (I won't say, just in case someone picks another quick bread sometime!) anyway we put the batter in muffin tins and baked them................we must not have filled them quite full enough though because they were rather short :o) Thus the invention of the trifle....................we made Dorie's Pastry Creme filling with the coffee variation. Then whipped that up with a tub of cool whip. We then layered banana bread/espresso drizzle/whipped topping mixture/ a sprinkle of Hershey's espresso chocolate bar cut into small chunks. Repeat! It was good! Everyone would taste it and say...........um chocolate.................coffee! Wait a minute I taste banana!

Ouh! Chocolate!

Over fill, and level with a knife
