I've thought about this several times, and have even taken active steps to get closer to a simple life, but I am still so far away. I've often wondered what life would be like lived completely simple. To wake up when the sun comes up instead of the alternative. A blaring alarm clock that makes me cringe. To not feel rushed. To sit and relax with a cup of tea or coffee. To read a book or the paper in the morning. To sit in wonder and ponder about life. To relax. To make dinner from scratch. To take my dog for a long walk. To go out and take pictures. To turn off my phone and just be alone. To be in a place where no one can contact me unless they come and knock on my door. There is so much in life that I want to enjoy, but I feel that so much of my life is being lived in a crazy way. My alone time is not always relaxing, and my life is far from simple.
This longing for a simple life has been growing inside of me for a long time now, and I finally feel that I am ready to do something about it.
Oreo Truffles
What do you get when you mix oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate chips? This guy
This is one of the easiest and best tasting desserts I've ever made. So I wanted to share it with everyone!
Items you will need
1. 16 oz of oreos (3 sleeves)
2. 8 oz of cream cheese
3. 8 oz chocolate chips (I prefer semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate)
4. Pot (to melt chocolate chips)
5. Food processor (This is preferred but not necessary, if you don't have a food processor, you can smash and mix the ingredients by hand or with a mixer.)
Once on the cookie sheet, place in the refrigerator and let cool for 45 minutes.
When they are cool, you will heat up the chocolate chips. It is probably best to use a double boiler, but I don't like the hassle. If you heat them directly in the pot, make sure to stir constantly and use a low heat. Once chocolate is melted, grab your truffles and dip into chocolate. Make sure you hold the bottom side and dip the top as the bottom is flat and sits better when you place it back on the tray.
Once they have all been dipped, place back on tray and into the refrigerator. When they are done, they will look like this. Yum!
These things are absolutely heavenly!!
ENJOY!!!!
Dog meets ducks
On our walk Sunday, we stopped over at my parents house. My parents have chickens and ducks, and this is a story of how Izzie met the ducks.
