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 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.

  6. Hannah says:

    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?

    Also, I just realized I had the wrong Katie. I’m sorry! Wanted to let you know I’m not that careless!

    You should have an Etsy site that sells pictures of your Babies.

    I was just laughing to myself last night, because one Christmas well over 20 years ago, my mom crocheted a blanket for my Cabbage Patch dolls. I still have that blanket and I use it to cover my small daughter!

    We had all the usual assortment of toys: Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, Care Bears, Popples, etc….but some of my favorites were also my brother’s A-Team collection…anyone else have those! We had so much fun playing A-team!
