Chocolate Bread Pudding on a Cloud

Chocolate covered Honey Buns, oh my. Thank you Little Debbie. My son in law brought  these for a camping trip, I hadn't seen them before. They are delicious straight out of the box, heated in the microwave or grilled.  I came up with a recipe that tops any other way. Chocolate Honey Bun Bread Pudding! I will be posting this to Foodie Friday and Tempt my Tummy Tuesday.

Use one Big Pack 19.04 oz box of honey buns. Chop in bite size pieces. Spray a 9x13 pyrex pan with cooking spray. Place pieces into pan.

Mix together: 

one pint 1/2 and 1/2

4 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup sugar

Pour over pieces and press down with a spoon. Chopped pecans can be add to top. Let mixture sit for 30 minutes to let it soak up the liquid.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You want it to be brown around the edges and set in the middle.

Place 4-6 marshmallows in a bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds, just until they are melted.

Place bread pudding in to middle of marshmallows. Yummy!

Best Ever Baked Beans

It is time to start grilling and this is a side dish that goes great with  everything from hamburgers and hot dogs to steaks. You can make it ahead of time and the recipe can be cut in half.

Ingredients:
Two cans of 28 oz baked beans
1/3-1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 chopped green pepper
1/2 chopped medium onion
1 Tablespoon mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup Bar B Q Sauce
 
Cook your ground beef until halfway done, add green pepper and onion. You want your green pepper and onion to be done but not mushy. (I make this double and freeze half to use at a later date.)

Drain most of the liquid off of your baked beans and pour in a 9 x13 baking dish. Add mustard, brown sugar and Bar B Q sauce, mix.

Mix in hamburger mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees  for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy!

Clay Pot Bird Bath

I wanted to add a bird bath to my front flower bed. I also wanted it to be unique, colorful and
one of a kind. This is simple and could be done by all ages. I will be posting this to Thrifty Thursday

I used paint for the outdoors, it can be bought at Hobby Lobby and Wal Mart. Buy or reuse three clay pots, if you are using used ones, wash and let dry. The bird bath can be as tall or short as you want. Make sure that the pots stack on top of each other.  You also need a clay pot tray for the top. Paint as desire, let your imagination be your guide. Paint each pot separately. It will take a couple of coats of paint to cover your pots, let dry between coats.

I measured where my top pot should be glued and used gorilla glue.

I weighted it down and let it dry for several hours. Taking the pots outside  I sprayed each section twice with Krylon indoor/outdoor clear statin spray.
