You know you were born in the 80s if…


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.

    Strawberry shortcake pizza?! I love you even more. Strawberries & cream is one of my favorite flavor combinations. I bet that is pure heaven.

  2. Mara @ What's For Dinner? says:

    I was a Strawberry Shortcake girl all the way! I even had the bed sheets! Then, i later decided that Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite needed to be best friends. And then my sister stole all my Sprites… oy…

    I love to cover my pancakes with yogurt, flax and berries — it’s like pie for breakfast! (the flax gives it a pie-like crunch)

    I loved My Little Pony, especially the scratch-and-sniff ones, and the Care Bears. So many colors! 🙂

    i love having whole desserts, just for me! sharing may be caring, but sometimes peeps just need to make their own ;). i feel like i was robbed of part of my childhood bc i never knew about strawberry shortcake dolls until i was older!

  5. Megan @ Healthy Hoggin says:

    I loved Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch kids, too! I also remember loving Shera and Heman toys… 😉

    Now I’m craving strawberries!!!

    What a divine breakfast! The pancake rolls remind me of crêpes we ate growing up. (And still eat.) I never thought to do this with pancakes though – brilliant! You should patent all your great ideas! Or write a cookbook.

    Ah… all those 80s toys. I was big on My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears, and Strawberry Shortcake too. I also had one of those Secret Keepers – a white swan with a purple back. Oh, that brings back memories…

    wow, those pancake roll ups look AMAZING!! I’m going to have to try those out!! A snow day like today would be perfect!! 🙂

    I would have to say cabbage patch kids and then when I got a little older i went barbie crazy!! 😉

  8. Meg says:

    I was a TOTALY Barbie girl, and American Girl – I HAD to read every issue of their magazine, and make the little recipes inside, which I do believe once included a strawberry shortcake 😉

    I had a whole nursery of Cabbage Patch dolls…and later on, Barbies. And then I got over the girly stuff pretty quick, because I found softball and flag football!!!
