Oreo Party!

Okay... so this is something I think I've mentioned... but I'm really excited about it.

I always see the flavors of oreos... but I never end up eating all of them... so I thought "Hey I want to have an Oreo party where we get a bunch of different flavors of oreos... and eat them! I told this idea to my friends and they supported my life choices... so they're up for it! We were going to have a party anyway- like I recently mentioned in my Queso dip post from yesterday... but now I said "yes! I'm bringing oreos!"

So I think on Saturday I'll post actual reviews of these oreos and maybe even include some thoughts from my friends and rankings and reviews. Today I just wanted to introduce the concept of an Oreo Party and tell you some ideas of what to do at an oreo party.

I went with a pretty good variety of oreos. I have some chocolate, some vanilla, some oreo thins and some regular oreos... I also went with double stuffed because... you can't go wrong with double stuffed!

First off... the ones I really wanted to try and the inspiration behind my #oreoparty were the Kettle Popcorn Oreos and the Cherry Cola ones. I had heard both of these were pretty good... and honestly they both sound pretty good. The Cherry Cola ones are chocolate with a popping candy in them and the Kettle Corn ones are Golden Oreos.

Next up we have an underrated variety of oreos: The Oreo Thins. I feel like people were maybe skeptical about these when they came out... but these guys are pretty darn impressive and now they even have some interesting flavors. They have Salted Caramel- which should probably be good. These are golden oreos, so these are vanilla with the salted caramel in the middle. And then the one I think I'm most intrigued by- the Pistachio oreo thins... this could be delicious. Maybe if you have this with pistachio ice cream... that could be awesome.

That's the strong point of these oreo thins... use them to make ice cream sandwiches. It's not bad!

And then we have the Fudge Covered Mint Oreos... Thin Mints anyone? I thought my friends would like these cause I'm pretty sure they like thin mints.

And then Double Stuffed because these were the only real requests from anyone... and you can't go wrong with regular oreos... and double stuffed is better.

So some things we might do... blindfolded taste test... I haven't told them the flavors yet- so maybe I'll keep it a secret and do that. I also think it'd be cute if you got little containers and put all the different flavors in it like if you were to buy Macaroons or fancy cookies or something.

I also feel like we could use these for recipes or put them in vanilla ice cream or something if we don't like them on their own. Also fried oreos are a thing. Ohhh and oreo balls- that's a pretty easy recipe that is delicious also- especially for summer!

So yeah! This is just a fun little idea I had that I'm excited for! I'm still going to do Favorite Movie Friday tomorrow and then after that I'll do a review of all of these!

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
