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.
Rainbow brite, Jem and Pound Puppies all the way!! And shamefully GI-Joe, He-man & She-ra, Ninja Turtles….I had 3 older brothers who monopolized the tv.
My first bedroom when I was a baby was decorated in EVERYTHING Strawberry Shortcake. And I loved the Cabbage Patch Kids and the Snorks. And the Get-Along Gang/Shirt Tales (had the biggest crush on Rocky Raccoon).
See – strawberries and creamy stuff – THAT’s what I’m talking about! Those pictures were pure torture!
My favorite toys when I was a kid were trees, dirt and anything outside. My favorite companions were the animals. I was such a tom boy!
One time I dressed up as “rainbow bright” for Halloween, but I don’t actually think I played with her as a child. I wonder how I could make “rainbow bright” into a breakfast theme…?
Ok I have to admit I just died when I saw the SSC crepe pizza! Soooo amazing. I grew up as a big sesame street kid…I loved my elmo! Other then that it was my mother’s holly hobbie dolls that kept me company.
Love flashbacks 🙂
Love u,

Katie you have a serious talent for breathing new life into everyday foods. Sometimes all it takes is a new way of eating something to get me excited all over again! Right now I can’t imagine wanting to just stack my pancakes. That is so 2009.
I am right there with ya on those 80s obsessions–I must have watched every episode and movie of the Care Bears at least 234565 times!
I loved Strawberry shortcake as a kid…but, have you seen the new Strawberry Shortcake dolls? She’s all tarty with a tight dress and such. I’m moderately disturbed.
Man those pancake rolls look good!
I had a My Little Pony with sparkly fairy wings that moved up and down and a few sea horse MLPs that accompanied me during my baths. I was a lucky kid. 🙂
It sounds weird, but my favorite “toy” as a kid was a deck of cards. My dad taught me to play hearts, poker, blackjack, etc. all by the time I was eleven!
I liked my American Girl doll, Felicity. I also had Sheera dolls and a Sheera’s castle. I need to see if I can find them in my parents’ attic!
