Hot Dogs on Wheat, Cucumber Slices December 11, 2011

Filed under: Lunch — Maria @ 2:27 pm

Today for lunch I had two Hatfield Classic franks made of pork, turkey, and beef on two slices of whole wheat bread with a sliced cucumber. Sometimes I just get in a mood for hot dogs and today was one of those moods. Honestly, I really think I could eat 4 of them, but my eyes are sometimes always bigger than my stomach so I know to go with my gut. I have been studying pulm all day and it’s truly draining. Our test would be so much better if the professor who taught it made it up since I know what he thinks is important, versus having another professor make it since he is an adjunct blahhh. Our pharm quiz grades from Friday never posted so I am thinking everyone failed and they don’t know what to do. Hopefully, pulm won’t go the same way. Maybe they should test on what they teach :/

 

Blueberry Crumble Pie

Filed under: Desserts — Maria @ 10:18 am

Last night at the boy’s we made a blueberry crumble pie. We meaning I made it, he ate it haha. Anyway, as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a free coupon from Duncan Hines for a Comstock Wilderness filling. We decided to go with the blueberry since we are both fans. My grandma makes a killer blueberry buy with fresh berries so I was nervous this wasn’t going to stand up at all. I topped it with this crumble recipe from Williams-Sonoma. I think the crumble made it! I also used a pre-made graham cracker crust, so very Sandra Lee of me ha. I have to say it came out really well. I think in the future I would mix in some fresh berries with the filling for some extra berries, but I was delightfully surprised. I would definitely buy this again if I had to whip up a pie quick, now that I know the crumble makes it look and taste homemade anyway. Glad I could try it!
