Pie is the theme for Friday

I seem to have dedicated my day to pie today. It's Carnival Day at my tots school and I volunteered like a good mom to provide baked goods for the cake walk game AND I volunteered to work a shift at the strong man booth (as a ticket taker of course, not a strong man).

I decided to make my super easy chocolate pie recipe for the baked goods (seriously - takes five minutes to whip up if you have all the ingredients).

1 oreo pie crust (ready made)
1 tub of chocolate pudding (ready made or you can make your own)
1 large tub of whipped cream

*Add a small layer of the chocolate pudding to the bottom of the pie crust

*For the second layer mix together about a cup of the pudding and a cup of the whipped cream. Add it to the pie as you second layer.

*Top it off with a layer of plain whipped cream and chill until set for about an hour.

Viola, pie in minutes.


Anyway, the carnival was loud and fun and by the end of it my daughter was covered in pie herself. No, she didn't have a mishap with my pies. They had a pie in the face contest, and she thought it would be a blast to get a pie hurled at her by her friend Mariah. Mariah as really good aim and she was covered in goop for the rest of the evening. Which she loved of course.

Ah, the difference between being a kid and an adult - the joy of having deserted dairy products all over you in public is no longer a joy once you pass the age of 26!
