Mom's Dirt Cake!!!


This is one of my family's favorite desserts. When I was 6, I'd sit at the kid's table while my Mom served us her awesome Dirt Cake!!! This cake can be made in a new clean flower pot, and seved with a new mini garden shovel to make it "authentic".

All you need is 1 pack crushed chocolate & creme cookies, 18 oz cream cheese, 3 cups milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 boxes vanilla pudding, and 1 large canister whipped topping. Blend wet ingredients, + sugar and pudding. Spread 1/2 crushed cookies into bottom of pot. Layer on the cream cheese mixture. Add the rest of the cookies. Top with whipped topping. You can add gummy worms for an additional GROSS factor for the kids. ENJOY!!!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Solutions!

How many times have we packed our pb & j sandwiches in the morning, just to find that at lunch the bread had soaked up all the jelly? Well, my friend Hazel from NJ has come up with a solution! Put the peanut butter on both pieces of bread, and put the jelly in the middle... Why didn't I think of that? Well, thanks to Hazel, I will have no more soggy pb & j's for lunch at work!
