Woke up early - 6 am
Weight Watchers same
Today I had a really special day with my grandkids. It’s not easy finding things to do with them because of the age difference (14 and 10) and because they are so different from each other.
The idea came to us that we all like to eat, especially dessert. Today is going to be desserts day at Grannie B's (sh sh don't tell Weight Watchers).
Of course, it has to be made with chocolate and more chocolate!!!
We made chocolate chip cookies with extra chips and nuts. Then we made an old family recipe that we call Black and White pudding. The recipe is very easy. We make it with a graham cracker crumbs on the bottom and then layers alternating with chocolate and vanilla pudding. The next layer is made by grating hunks of milk chocolate (just throw it all over the pudding). Repeat the pudding layers until all is gone. Top layer is whipped cream sprinkled with more hunks of chocolate.
Now we decided to make corn bread from an old sisterhood cookbook (Temple Beth Avodah). It came out really good. Finally. we made the greatest brownies ever!!!! With the help of Ghirardelli. Their Caramel Turtle mix is fabulous!!!! (Sorry Beth, they were better than yours. It’s not bad to be #2). IT WAS SO YUMMY we all wanted to lick the spoon and the bowl!!!!
My grandson wrote an essay for school telling his class how much fun he had baking desserts at his grannie’s house with his sister. The very best part of his essay was and I quote “I have the greatest grannie ever."
This made my whole day!!!!!!!!!
