nutella peanut butter crescent rolls

tonight i was watching cake boss, it made me want dessert so i got on my dessert board on pinterest. i made mine opposite of what the original one was made. i used nutella instead of peanut butter and peanut butter baking chips. the peanut butter chips was the best part of the dessert. my mom made preflavored bbq chicken and waffle fries,

 I was typing this from my phone. I had to get a new one over the weekend. i went into the current century & got a new 4g smart phone. ive never had a phone with data before. I was trying to attach the pic from my phone & I accidently deleted the pic. luckily drakeston hadnt eaten his yet. The 1st pic was pretty & looked yummier.

I chickened out, I was gonna make a balsamic vinegar pork tenderloin



I chickened out, I was gonna make a balsamic vinegar pork tenderloin from pinterest instead I made a pre-flavored teryaki pork tenderloin. I have never made a tenderloin, & have never had balsamic vinegar so I asked my mom if I would like it, she said she & my dad would, the boys would not & she didnt know if I would like it or not. I decided I wasnt adventurous tonight. I did use a pretty new pyrex bowl tonight. It is a divided casserole dish, so I threw in some hash browns, butter & parmesan cheese.( my mom added velveeta cheese slices.) Its actually still cooking as I type so I dont know how it tastes yet. I started cooking late about 8:15pm or so & my mom's oven isnt working 100% so it takes forever. We originally had the oven set for 425 and 30 mins, but we have since switched it over to broil & now its almost done. Success food is out of the oven finally. 9:25pm it tastes good.

cornbread casserole not a pinterest recipe

the boys grandma was a pampered chef consultant & one of the meals she liked to prepare for her party was a cornbread casserole. the ingredients are Jiffy corn bread (milk & eggs for the cornbread) i used carrots & corn, hamburger meat & a bundt pan.
.

Before pinterest I didnt cook. I had bought a pretty turquise bundt pan at Easter 2011 time, I took it out of its new package when I made this meal last week. They had purple bundt pans this yr at easter, I retsrained my self from buying it.

Make one box of cornbread according to box put in bundt pan. ground & brown hamburger meat put in bundt pan, put carrots & corn in bundt pan, make 2nd box of cornbread put in bundtpan. Oh yeah when I cooked this I forgot to put shredded cheese on top of the meat. So when it had about 10 mins left of cooking i put cheese on top of the cornbread. Place in oven for about 45 mins or until golden brown at 400 degrees. I didnt do a good job of spreading the cornbread so some of my ground beef got mixed in.


 I dont have a final pic because I didnt have any pam to spray my pan with, so I dipped a paper towl in cooking oil & wiped my pan down. We were in a major hurry to get to practice or a game & we didnt let it cool off properly. So it didnt come out of the pan very pretty. It tasted fine just not pic worthy. the boys ate it. they are picky & wont eat some things.

pyrex, my latest shopping habit

it started with just 1 bowl,1 bowl thats been in the family for the last 30 yrs. Its my mom's yellow bowl thats been at every thanksgiving dinner. the big yellow mixing bowl. We thought it was from the 70;s era but its from the 1950's era.(my mom has joined the pyrex buying spree & has added some of the other bowls in this set. Until now she has only had just this one bowl.)


Well I started cooking pinterest recipes, & I wanted some pyrex bowls, went on ebay starting looking at all the fun & cool patterns. Placed a bid, stayed up late watching it so I could win a set that wasnt very much on shipping. The bowls themselves arent bad its the shipping thats crazy.

my 1st ebay win:
i thought I liked this pattern & color but after getting a few more bowls & patterns I actually dont like this color blue.


My next set I got came from my favorite vintage store.originally she just had the large loaf bowl no lid, but while shopping around a customer brought into the store a suitcase filled with various items including 2 small loaf bowls with lids & a lid for a large loaf bowl no bowl. I have actually used this set. Even though they all have the same pattern the color paint is slightly different on each bowl. (You can see the food inside these bowls)



This set came from an antique store in Bowie,Tx. I like this blue the best. I have used these already as well.


Another ebay find. I really really like this pattern, but the pattern is on the lid. I think this is my favorite one so far,


Here is a pic of my whole collection, these pics were taken 05/02/12 I have added 3 or 4 more bowls since then that are not photographed yet.
