Whoever at the Oreo cookie company that invented Red Velvet Oreos………you have my undying devotion. These are wonderful……..I sang that part.
So, when I saw a little video on Facebook…..it was a Wal Mart ad, called Oreo’s Let’s Play I without a doubt had to try it. Simple and easy using Oreo cookies and crescent dough.
Well, being me and loving …….I sang again……the red velvet Oreo, I wanted to use them. I also used puff pastry. Partly because I had it and mostly because I love flaky, golden puff pastry.
It’s that time of year when I crave comfort food. For my money, nothing beats a hot steaming bowl of pasta. Seriously, I could eat it until I exploded……which if I don’t lay off will happen……..but, when it’s cold and ugly out (everyday lately) I want pasta!!!Continue reading “Quick Pasta Carbonara”
This is gonna be a real quickie……Starbucks is the bomb for coffee……well, at least Tim and I think so. One of our favorites is the Caramel Frappuccino………but with a Grande coming in at about 380 calories……… yikes! Talk about drinking your calories.
When things are said to be skinny, or light, or low cal, my mind says how good can it be?
Well, this was great……..rich coffee flavor, cold and frosty, topped with light cool whip, and just a small drizzle of caramel sauce…….yummy yum yum!
I did change up the recipe a bit. I used instant espresso, instead of coffee, and I did not use sugar-free caramel……I went for the real deal. A few mini chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of Heath bits……..heavenly! I am probably over 50 calories, but I am under 100………for dessert that rocks!
So, thank you Averie for the recipe and if you have a hanker’in for a Starbucks like Frappuccino, that won’t break the bank or your diet, whip up a Skinny Caramel Frappuccino!
