Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait is #ThankfullySweet and made with Mrs. Smith's Pie and Cool Whip #CollectiveBias #Ad

Meal preparation is one of the things that I do while Allison is at work. Sometimes I like to surprise the family with a tasty dessert. I’m always looking for new ideas and coming up with some of my own. When asked to participate in this #ThankfullySweet project with #CollectiveBias I was excited because I could use my creativity with Mrs. Smith’s Pies and Kraft Cool Whip. An all new dessert was going to become part of my repertoire. If you need more inspiration, check out the Cooking Up Good website. It has recipes, sweepstakes, loyalty programs, coupons and more!

Mrs. Smith Pies and Cool Whip Purchases

Is there anything more delicious than a big dollop of Cool Whip on a piece of pie? I am going to say yes, yes there is. I’ve created two desserts with the same ingredients and they were both big hits with the family. At least one of the desserts will become something I will serve again. Actually, this coming weekend I will be serving it to the folks I work with. We’re doing a Pie Party Pot Luck over the course of the weekend. I will be introducing everyone to the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait, right after I tell you all about it in the video and recipe below.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2014


Photo-A-Day #3265

We celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day in our usual way with a fresh made Irish Soda Bread and Corned Beef and Cabbage. This year we had our friends over for dinner. Eva and I made placemats for everyone, with help from Allison’s cutting skills. We also made a Leprechaun Trap. For a snack we put together some Lucky Chick Mix. This is a combination of a bunch of snacks. The combination is made up of M&Ms, Peanuts, Honey Roasted Sesame Seed Sticks, Teddy Grahams, Pretzels and Lucky Charms. Take all of it and melt in some candy chips to put everything together.

Here’s the video that inspired our snack mix.

We had a great evening and so much fun together.
