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.

    I was always bummed when my friends played with strawberry shortcake dolls and I didn’t have any!

    These look so awesome!! I always ask for strawberry shortcake for my birthday cake because it can easily exclude dairy (with soyatoo).
    I haven’t had a strawberry shortcake-esque breakfast since the summer! That needs to change now!!

    And by the way, my least favorite weather conditions would be hurricanes or tornadoes. 😉

    I’ll trade your rain for my snow! deal?!

    ahhh my favorite childhood toy EVER was polly pockets! I worshipped her!

    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.

    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!!
