It was a dreary Monday here in Texas. Seems like we’ve had a lot of rain this winter. I think rain is my least favorite weather condition. Ugly weather calls for comforting food!
But I didn’t stop with Roll Ups. On another day, I made Strawberry Shortcake Pizza.
A whole dessert pizza, just for me!
And another time, a strawberry shortcake sandwich:
It always makes me think back to those cutey-pie dolls I played with as a kid.
Hi Katie!
Growing up, I had quite a few girl’s toys, like Strawberry Shortcake Dolls, Barbies, My Little Ponies and even the American Girl Bear complete with many outfits. But interestingly, the toys I played with most were Legos, Transformers, Star Wars figures, and Nintendo games such as Mario and Zelda and the like. My little brother and his friends were my best friends. I did everything with them, even sleepovers! I thought I was just one of the guys! It was a wonderful time! I miss those days…
Thanks Katie, for heading up such a thoughtful discussion. It seems to have overshadowed your fine culinary skills today! 🙂 How do you feel about that?
Well, I always love coming to your blog. And of course, you are welcome at mine anytime. 🙂
Rain is DEFINITELY the worst of all kinds of weather! I can’t stand rain. One of the many reasons I love living in Saudi Arabia.
Hmmm…honestly, my favorite ‘toys’ weren’t really toys, they were books. Whenever my parents asked what I wanted for xmas or birthdays I would always say books. Luckily they always complied!
I also collected Breyer Horses, but they aren’t really toys either. They are pretty little horse figurines, totally realistic looking and more art than anything. I’ve still got them packed up in a box, if I ever settle somewhere permanently they will be out on display for sure!
I have a bunch of old she-ra dolls I’m trying to find a buyer for. Anyone know anyone if so pls email me.
This posting is a little ‘dated’, but I saw 80’s and started laughing. Born in ’81, I was obsessed with My Little Pony, Care Bears, RAINBOW BRIGHT!!, the Smurfs, Scooby-Doo (but I guess I was watching the one’s that were even older than I was), She-ra (sp?)…and of course movies like Back to the Future, the Star Wars series, and pretty much all things Eddie Murphy. (Okay, I was a bit too young for his comedy, but I still sneaked it in somehow without getting caught…). There are really way too many things to list…Michael Jackson, Madonna, Brite Lite…oh gosh! I liked growing up in the 80’s, lol…but something tells me the 70’s were much cooler. 😉
I am making my first pizzert today, and the strawberries are looking very tasty. I have some super ripe juicy ones in the fridge right now. xx
Haha oh yes, this IS an old post! I love getting comments on old posts, because I’ve forgotten about them.
I feel like I missed too much of the 80s! I was born in ’86… but I did love Care Bears! And my room was Rainbow Bright :).
