OREO ICE CREAM CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

-2 regular size packages of Oreos

-1 carton of vanilla ice cream

-1/4 cup melted butter

-Cooking spray

-Toppings of your choice (I did rainbow sprinkles & added chocolate syrup when cut & served)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Take 1 package of Oreos (or 36 cookies) & crush them into crumbs. I used my blender & pulsed 3 batches of 12 cookies until they were really fine. Place in a large bowl & add melted butter. Mix until completely combined.

2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish lightly with cooking spray & press crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan evenly to form a crust. Make sure to press down firmly. Place into the freezer for at least a half hour.

3. Meanwhile, allow the ice cream to thaw. After it was easy to remove from the carton, I put mine in a large bowl & kept stirring it every so often until it was the consistency of soft serve.

4. Carefully spread the softened ice cream on top of the Oreo crust. Then break apart Oreos from the 2nd package and sprinkle them on top. (as many as you want) Add sprinkles at this time, if using.

Cover & freeze for a few hours until it is completely set up or overnight.

5. Cut into squares & serve as is or drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Okay, so first things first- this is by far one of my favorite things I have EVER made. It. Is. Delicious. And all cheesiness aside, this recipe really does require a lot of love and extra steps so it's going to be a little longer & more detailed than most of my other ones. I know how unappealing a ton of reading can be before getting to what everyone actually wants (the recipe) so I will try to keep it as short as possible without leaving anything out. But please read everything for the best results! Important things to go over first: #1 The chicken - Most pot pie recipes just call for "cooked chicken" which is usually boiled or baked or some suggest rotisserie chicken meat to make it easy. I seasoned my chicken breasts before cooking them which gives the entire pot pie an extra layer of flavor. If you start out with delicious pieces of chicken, every other ingredient is just a bonus. #2 Baking - I used a cast iron skillet to bake my pot pie. I a...
