Trader Joe's Chocolate Croissants

Remember when I mentioned that I was going to start eating better? Yeah, me neither. How can I be expected to eat more fruits and veggies when there is so much delicious chocolate out there?

One of my favorite things are these babies:

Even the package looks good.

You just take one (or all four) out of the package before you go to bed and put them on a cookie sheet. They'll look like this:

They'll magically grow and puff up overnight. You'll be amazed when you see them!

Throw them in the oven for about 20 minutes and viola (that's French, ya know) you'll end up with this:

Flaky, yummy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolatey goodness.

Now, where did I put my cholesterol pills?

P.S. I cut them in half right out of the freezer. That way they're only a million calories instead of a billion.

Bon appetite!

Island Treasures Gourmet Rum Cake - Review

I entered a giveaway on My Shiny Monkey and I won the Island Treasures Gourmet Rum Cake. I wasn't sure what to expect. When the box arrived I was surprised how heavy it was. Inside was the yummiest looking cake. It almost looks like a pound cake. The directions suggest you turn the cake upside down for 30 minutes before eating. This is so any liquid can flow back into the cake.

As soon as I opened the cover I could smell the rum. The taste....wow! so moist, so delicious. That cake will not last long in this house at the rate I'm going. Every time I walk by, I stop and cut, just a tiny sliver to taste. A few minutes later, I cut another piece. I'm going to have to have my husband hide it from me.....at least until tomorrow. This will taste so good with my coffee tomorrow.

Thank you Julie at My Shiny Monkey for hosting the giveaway and shipping it so quickly to me.
