Does this work for anyone else?? That will cover me for the summer on sides and sauce – YEAH!!!!
My Tops shopping so far…. $289 for only $14!!!!
Well… I rocked the deals at TOPS… I did 4 orders, I spent $89 on $289 worth of groceries and then I earned $2.50 off per gallon ($75 value)… so my net cost was $14… $14 for $289 worth of groceries… I was LOVING it!!
I still have many more gas point deals to do, from these deals (CLICK HERE) but figured I had to regroup and see where I stood… So with my weekly budget of $75 for groceries and $60 for gas, I still have $46 I can spend this week… not to mention that I may reach the full tank of gas FREE which means I will get 2 weeks’ worth of gas so I can even add next week’s gas budget to score more of this week’s deals… does that make sense?? It does in my head but not really when I read it…LOL
Okay – off to spend my birthday at TOPS – whoohoo!!!!!!!!

Tasty Tuesday ~ BEST Banana Cream Pie EEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!
Banana cream pie and four bananas. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
A couple of months ago I met some girlfriends for lunch and we had some pie… ahhhhh memories – LOL!! It was Banana Cream and it was soooo incredible and I aggressively pursued the inter-webs to find this perfect pie… I searched, and read, and asked questions galore and then my good friend Didi (of DishinwithDidi.com) said, “Baby Girl”… she calls everyone ‘baby girl’… So, she says – “Baby Girl… quit makin’ it so hard… just use the pudding!” And you know what? I did and I made the best pie I have ever had…seriously, simple and delicious and outta of five desserts – four of which I worked a lot harder on, this pie was the first thing devoured and everyone raved about it!! So follow me here:
- · I baked a Pillsbury Pie Crust (Hey,they have perfected it!) Let crust set out for about 15 minutes, then “lightly” stretch into a 9’ pie plate, creating pretty “fluted” edges simply by pressing fork tongs around the rim. Poke fork holes all around the dough then bake as directed – until JUST lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
- · I then cut up and used almost all of 2 full bananas on the bottom of the pie.
- · I made two boxes of pudding according to the ‘pie filling’ directions – I used 1 banana cream and one vanilla, and mixed them together, whipped additional time and allowed to “set” in fridge for a few hours before pouring over bananas into perfectly cooked crust.
- · I then used ‘Vanilla’ Cool Whip on top of the pudding – “mounding” to the center.
- · I soaked about 10 pieces of sliced banana in 7 Up, drained and then “decorated” the top of the pie.
- · I then VERY lightly sprinkled YELLOW decorator sugar across the Pie.
- · This pie looked like a bakery masterpiece and it tasted even better… WOW – who knew?? You too can be a master cream pie maker just by following these simple steps!!
Seriously – I would never deviate from this pie and these specific directions…
Go now, give a try and let me know what RAVE reviews you get!!
