#DeliciousMoments With a Bookworm

| My Life

Disclosure: I love ice cream and these are my stories (insert Law & Order thump thump here along with the line: this is a sponsored post)

I got in my car today and the thermometer read 95. I kid you not. By the time I’d gotten to my destination, the thermometer read 93. I took a picture:

Dear sweet baby Geezus, it is Fall and the only thing I have to look forward to this week is the temperature finally falling below 90.

So with the temperature so hot and my child being a sweater (sweat-er?), I take it upon myself to make sure that I give her a cool snack when we get home from school.

Knowing how much I love books and how much I love ice cream, I received this little gem via email. It is my friend Clare’s recipe. She’s my new favorite mom and I’d like her to move in with me and do all of the cooking. It’s what she’s awesome at so I figured, why not?

Enter: THE BOOKWORM! I can’t stand it! The giddiness that I feel right now is beyond me. I am going to be chairing my very first book fair this fall and I am totally thinking of making these for my volunteers. What do you think?

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 graham cracker
  • 1/2 cup Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream, slightly softened
  • 1 gummy worm candy
  • Decorative icing (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place graham cracker on small dish. Place Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream on top of graham cracker and carefully smooth to edges using butter knife or small spatula. Use knife to carve line down center of ice cream to resemble center of open book. Smooth around edges so that ice cream is same shape as graham cracker.
  2. Place in freezer until very firm. Remove from freezer and use fork to scrape lines around ice cream sides to resemble pages in book. Insert gummy worm into ice cream. Write a few words or letters on the pages of book with decorative icing if you wish! Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve.

YUM, right? I wish I was that little worm. Just hanging out with some ice cream and reading. I am supposed to be chilly, curled up with a book as I watch the leaves falling off of trees. Instead, I’ll be trying to find a pool party to crash this weekend.

Just because I’m about to go pretend to be someone’s long lost cousin doesn’t mean you can’t be curled up with a good book watching leaves turning. How about I live vicariously through you?

I want to give you a $25 Target gift card and some of my very own Breyers coupons so that you can go crazy and have some Delicious Moments all your own this fall. What do you say?

  94. I’m not sure. When I got my Kindle about 3 years ago I found all the free Kindle books that Amazon has available every day so I now have a few thousand books that I need to read!

  • Happy Tuesday! I'm pondering how we don't talk about toxic masculinity and gaslighting outside of the psycho and sociopathic men that we hear about. As if, being a nice guy while doing ZERO work toward knowing yourself, bettering yourself and being a better human being is sufficient. Toxic masculinity and gaslighting go hand-in-hand. If you stop to look, you will see them both interacting quite naturally and cohesively. To the men that do the work, thank you. To the men that don't? Well... 🤷🏾‍♀️
  • So we don't think it's all fun and games, here I am. Exhausted and owing some loan shark about 3 spoons. But! You gotta laugh about it and keep it moving, right? #spoonie #nomorespoons #endo
  • Some days, things feel askew. Items fall out of their designated spaces as if gravity did not exist. I lose my footing and find myself off solid ground. Tilted. It sometimes sends me into a state of distress. Then I remember the women that came before me. The closest of my ancestors holding sentry over that fireplace. Holding me down and reminding me who I am and whose I am. I used to be so scared of so much. Intimidated by people that professed to love me when, in fact, they were just experts in projecting their own insecurities upon my back. Then, those women brought forth the memories and now, I can't go back. Suddenly, it doesn't matter if things aren't bolted down and gravity disappears. I am gravity. I am the solid ground. I am the lightning that sets it all aflame and the rain that puts the fire out. I hope you're ready for me. 😉 #MondayMotivation #MamiMondays #LineaMaterna #addyebpaints #OmoOya
