Kasey Likes It! [Tortillaz]

Today I decided to go straight from the office to visit a friend who'd just had a baby this morning. I needed to pick up a few things on the way, but didn't want to fight rush hour traffic on the main drag, so I drove out to Siloam Springs first and stopped at Walmart on my way to the hospital.

I didn't realize how hungry I was until I walked past the McDonalds at the entrance. Wow, I REALLY didn't want to eat McDonalds for dinner, but knew I needed something. I was headed toward the granola bar row for some Fiber Plus bars when this little cutie caught my eye:

I love guacamole. I love chips. A marriage made in heaven. Wow. A better tasting rice cake I have never experienced. They are ZESTY. Dare I say SPICY! (That's for you, Nat!) Garlic, lime, sugar, je ne sais quois, but I LIKE them! 4 grams of fat and 130 calories per serving (about 15 chips). So, I opted to try these and grabbed a banana on my way to the register. And then I got to snuggle the most beautiful, peaceful little baby and visit with my friend. It made me so happy to see she and her husband so happy with their healthy new little one. I hope she didn't notice my guacamole breath!

I'll admit I've eaten almost the entire (smaller size) bag tonight, but still under 12 grams of fat total. Not bad when compared to regular chips....not that I should be eating the whole bag. I'm just sayin' YuM. They also had a cheddar flavor. For those of you who don't like guacamole. Although, I can't imagine anyone that reads this blog doesn'nt like guacamole. Do you?

Raspberry Cobbler

We have a lot of these in our freezer:

So I decided to bake some cobbler:

Jimmie requested a raspberry pie made with our frozen berries. I couldn't decide whether to call this a cobbler or a pie. I decided to make individuals with crust only on top (1/2 the crust of a pie, right?). I think, technically, a cobbler crust is "crumbled" on top, but whatever.

Raspberry Cobbler

5 - 6 cups raspberries

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

Whisk sugar and cornstarch together to mix thoroughly. Toss with berries.

Pour berry mixture into baking dishes and top with your favorite pie crust dough.

Cut a few vents in the crust and sprinkle with sugar before baking.

Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.

Good thing we also have some ice cream in the freezer to go with this dessert tomorrow!
I should not be up at midnight when we're "springing forward!"
