I needed to go into the grocery store the other day for two things, but as it often goes, two things turn into about twenty. I had my kids with me this time and they know that the basket, and sometimes unplanned cart, will end up quite full, no matter what I need to buy. When I do take my kids, they always want to buy a few special treats or yummy snacks. Even when I go by myself, I tend to grab extra items off the shelves or think of something else as I stroll down the aisles. You know it happens to you too!!! Anyways, my kids were being really well behaved as chips and salsa, hot wing sauce, and peanut butter and jelly happened to fall into my basket. As we were finally heading to the check out line, their eyes spotted Birthday Cake Oreos. They HAD to have them!!! More »
Sand pudding is outstanding!!! It tastes similar to cheesecake, which is my all time favorite dessert. I showed my kids the full bucket and they were surprised that they could actually eat this “sand”. They thought it looked so real and they loved how the “sand” and pudding tasted together! I could not stop eating spoonful after spoonful, and ate so much I might as well have used the shovel! Serving the pudding in a bucket with a shovel is creative and fun, and would definitely impress your kids and guests. If you choose to serve the dessert in individual cups, the layers look great too! Sand pudding would be perfect to serve at any summer event, including Labor Day weekend. Layer and then shovel away! Enjoy!
