I can’t believe I forgot all about posting this wonderful dessert, especially after mentioning in this post how much I love it. (Sorry, this picture really does not do it justice. It looks much better in person.)

For as long as I can remember, the blueberry stuff, as we like to call it around here, has been at family gatherings on my dad’s side of the family. One of my great aunts always brings this treat, and it has forever been a huge hit.

Now for the last several years, I’ve made it for church functions and other occasions that call for desserts. It’s become one of those foods that gets requested and then expected. For this reason, I almost always keep the ingredients on hand so I can whip it up anytime.

This is also very easy to make, which makes it even better. No cooking is required.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups milk
• 1 box graham crackers
• 1 (5.25 oz) box  instant vanilla pie filling
• 1 (8 oz) tub cool whip
• 1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling

Directions:

1. Mix vanilla pie filling with 3 cups milk and stir good.
2. Add 8 oz cool whip. (The more it’s stirred the thicker it gets.)
3. Layer graham crackers in the bottom of 9 x 13 pan.
4. Layer 1/2 cool whip mixture.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4.
6. Then put last layer of graham crackers on top.
7. Spread blueberry pie filling on top of the graham crackers.
8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

I’ve got an exciting week planned. Today, I’m teaching my first couponing class for some of the ladies from my church. I love talking about coupons and how much you can save on groceries and all kinds of stuff.

Then, the end of this week my son, David, will be out of school for winter break, and my in-laws will be coming to stay for the weekend. Finally, on Saturday David is going for a soccer evaluation.

He was signed up to play last year, but then got disappointed because he ended up not getting to play because of his eye surgeries. Thankfully, though, this year he’s good to go and I’m going to officially be a “Soccer Mom.” I’ve already got the van and I’m suppose to get the little magnet to stick on the back. Woo hoo!!

But even with all that fun stuff going on….

~Here’s what’s cooking this week~

Monday - Soft Tacos, Mexican Rice

Tuesday - Pork-N-Beans w/Beef, Macaroni & Cheese Casserole, Peas

Well, I finally got my steak last week and it was delicious! The kids and I also got to make an extra fun little treat.

Have you ever had Knox blox? Honestly, I had never even heard of these until a few weeks ago. I had some awesome Knox coupons that landed me free Knox gelatine. The problem was, I had to find a way to use the Knox.

That was when my husband introduced me to Knox blox. His mom used to make these for him when he was a kid. It’s basically just a harder form of Jello that you can cut into squares or make shapes with cookie cutters without it falling apart on you.

Here’s what you need.

• 2 (3 oz) pkgs Jell-o Gelatin
• 3 envelopes Knox Gelatine
• 2 1/2 cups boiling water
• 8 x 11 baking dish

Here’s what you do.

1. Mix the ingredients together very well in the baking dish.
2. Refrigerate for about 3 hours to make sure it’s well hardened.

Then for the fun part, use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes.

I recommend using good sharp cookie cutters. Mine are not very sharp so the cuts on our shapes were not as neat as I would have liked. Of course, the kids didn’t notice. They just thought it was fun to cut and eat the shapes.

And now for this week’s menu plan…
