Come On!

I liked playing with my Strawberry Shortcake dolls when I was little. I was even happy to see S.S. make a comeback a couple of years ago.



It really goes without saying that I LOVE Carrie Bradshaw and all the gals from Sex and the City.



Now you may be saying to yourself "Where in the heck is she going with this story?" and I don't blame you, because in my mind Strawberry Shortcake and Carrie Bradshaw have no similarities or common threads! Never have been, never will be... but, the people at Dollar Tree have other ideas:



Exhibit 1: A Puzzle they are selling at Dollar Tree. This leads me to say "COME ON!" What in the Hell is going on in those production meetings? Who thought that it was a good idea to make a knock off Sex and the City puzzle for children? Maybe the kids wouldn't even know that it is a knock off of SATC, but seriously, aren't they tarting kids up enough these days?!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
