I have really gotten into reading blogs lately...here are a few of my faves:

Kelly's Korner - Kelly has a fun site.  Every Friday she does a "Show Me Your Life" series with different topics - people post links and share ideas

Finally - my friends Chris and Emily who are in China teaching English - pray for them as they are learning a new culture

Show Me Your Life - Dessert

I have been finding all sorts of new blogs lately and I came across Kelly's Korner - she has a Show Me Your Life Series every Friday - I thought I would join in today - all you do is what the title says - show me your life and you post a link to your blog.  Its a great way to share ideas...today's theme is desserts...

I really do not have a name for it - so lets call it Vanilla Oreo Whip

1 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 package Oreo Cookies
1 tub Cool Whip

Crumble up the oreo cookies in a large bowl (I use a coffee cup to break them up)
Spread ice cream in pan (I use a glass casserole dish), layer oreo cookies on top of ice cream, then layer cool whip, continue layering until the pan is full and top with remaining oreo cookies.

This is so simple and so good.  Its always a huge hit with my friends and people at church!
Enjoy!

Fabulous Meal

I got my latest Kraft Food and Family magazine last week. I tore out a few recipes, went to the grocery store and got ingredients for a few meals. I made this one last night and it was WONDERFUL!!

Its a must try!!

Note: I used spaghetti noodles instead of capellini and I used onion, basil and garlic out of the non fresh aisle (out of a shaker) I also used an entire small bottle of the dressing - I kept on adding more to keep the mixture wet.

Capellini Caprese

Total Time:25 min

Makes:4 servings, 1-1/2 cups each

What You Need:
1/2 lb. capellini or spaghetti, uncooked
1/2 cup KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing and Marinade
