Ok, here’s the thing. I was going to take the August Taste of Home Bakeable’s Challenge which was  Almost It’s-It Ice Cream Sandwiches   but after thinking about it, at the time I was going to make these, it had been in the mid ninety’s in Virginia and that’s too hot to start the oven. So I thought why not take a shortcut and buy the cookies pre-made? You can use whatever cookie or flavor ice cream you desire. The TOH Bakeable's Challenge was making oatmeal cookies. I think chocolate chip cookies would be delicious too. Whatever your heart desires.  Here's what you need and how to make them: Ingredients   Bakery Oatmeal Cookies Vanilla ice cream Sprinkles, nuts, toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, etc. Hardshell chocolate sauce  Instructions Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soften. Place 1 scoop of ice cream (about 1/3 cup) between 2 cookies.  Gently press cookies together (ice cream should spread to the edge of the c...

  I've ordered from Everyplate before and it's my favorite out of all the other meal subscriptions. Most of the meals take 30 - 35 minutes to prepare. Since I had received an email with a great deal to come back, I just had to order from them once again. It's pretty easy to order from them and you do have choices on how many you want to serve such as 2-4 people and meals per week from 3-5 days. You can choose your meal preferences: Meat and veggie, Veggie, Family friends, and Quick and easy.   You can substitute your meals if you don't happen to like the selection they chose for you, which is a nice feature. If you continue with the weekly subscription, they do give you a chance to skip a week, just make sure you make that choice by the end date for delivery. It is an overnight delivery and they have it packed with frozen packs to keep the perishable cold. I ordered 5 days for 4 servings in my settings. The box was delivered before dinner time but it was in the 90'...

***UPDATED 8/5/23*** Are you shocked by the price increase in food lately? I sure am, so I've started stocking up on non-perishable foods. I'm not really what you call a prepper but with the way the world is right now, I don't think it will hurt to have a stockpile of food.  My suggestion on canned goods is, if you have an Aldi store nearby, shop there for your canned goods. They are cheaper than most grocery stores I shop and the quality is the same or even better. My husband loves their soups. Storage was a problem for us so we decided to buy a couple of cabinets to store our food. They didn't take long to put together and they look attractive. You can use whatever space you have but I suggest you designate a space for a large amount of food.  Amazon.com: Sauder Storage Cabinet, Highland Oak Finish : Home & Kitchen If you start storing up food, make sure when you use a food item that you replace it and put the newer product in the back, that way you won't hav...
