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.
My personal favorite was and STILL IS (I have a bunch) My Little Pony! I did have a few of those dolls you’ve got pictured there, plus barbies, the cupcake dolls, and other stuff. But, My Little Ponies will always have my heart 🙂
I seemed to go through phases in my childhood.
Barbies, Sky Dancers, Polly Pocket, My Little Pony, American Girls (I had Samantha and Josefina, with several outfits to match, of course ;] )…
I guess my true favorite toy to play with, though, were model horses. Like the ones by Breyer.
I was more an imagination type of girl, though. You know, it’s strange…last semester in my social psychology class we did an activity at the very beginning where we had to go around the class and find a person who fulfilled certain criteria on the paper. One of those was a person who “imagined him/herself as a superhero, etc.” and I was the ONLY PERSON in my entire class who had played imagination games as a kid! I’m proud of my “Sailor Moon” period. I don’t know what the world would have done without my crime fighting days. ;]
Oh, and by the way, I am totally re-making these strawberry shortcake roll-ups at some point. <3 Strawbs + vegan cream? Genius.
Oh my god, those dolls used to smell SO SO good!
I’m having flashbacks! hahah Love it and those pancakes! mmm
oooh yum!!! Strawberry shortcake pizza?! delicious!!! When I was a kid I used to LOVE poppels..hahah…remember those?! I used to collect them all!
I had to leave a comment because I loved my 80’s toys. Way better then the toys they have these days. I had the Lemon Meringue doll from Strawberry Shortcake. She smelled like lemons & she was my favorite. I also had Alphie (another favorite), Cricket (a talking doll) & a Pillow Person (I still have that actually). Oh those were the gold ole days!!
Oh my! Do you have the strawberry carrying case too? I am SO jealous!!!
now I’m craving strawberries.. hehe.
Yum! That looks great 🙂
I love Strawberry Shortcake! I have a whole list of toys I loved: cabbage patches, pound puppies, care bears, poppels, littlest pet shop, polly pocket, rainbow brite . . .
Ok I muuust try those pancakes this weekend. They look too insanely good to pass up. Have you invented the machine that allows me to pluck out and eat all the lovely things you make yet?? I was more a fan of stuffed animals and my dog growing up… I think I never sat still long enough to have a favorite toy.
I was a huge fan of My Little Ponies too. Do you remember Poppels? They were another favorite amongst my toy collection:)
What great ideas for rolled pancake fillings! Cinnamon roll sounds really good.
I used to love American Girl Dolls when I was little. I had most of them and my entire living room was filled with their furniture!
oh my gosh! i had barbies and cabbage patch kids coming out my ears. i also had a ton of troll dolls. i think those were my favorite.
Yum! Though I think I’m still partial to the carrot cake versions 🙂
I didn’t have a lot of toys as a kid, but I did love my cabbage patch doll and – wait, I remember! Polly Pockets!! 😀
My favorite toys were books…. and My Little Ponies. 😉
Also, love your Etsy shop. What it’s called (minus the “sews”) is what my parents called me when I was little.
My gosh Katie, I get a few days behind, and look at all I missed. Pancake roll-ups?!? Have I told you lately how much I love you? Mine would be filled with Trader Joe’s whipped cream cheese, cinnamon, and Artisana Cacao Bliss. Yum!!!
Loving all the strawberry action in this post. Has me looking forward to summer – been a dreary winter here in Nashville as well. I used to love Strawberry Shortcake. I had the big doll that blew strawberry kisses…I think, or did I just make that up?
