Dig in.
nourishing & unapologetic
We went from job searching and newly engaged to new hires and wedding planning fiends to 1 year of employment and newlyweds. it's been pretty much a whirlwind. It seems almost impossible that the end of July marked one year with a Wichita address. In January 2013, when Nicholas began interviewing for school psychologists positions we didn't quite know where we would end up. But as luck would have it, he aced the interview of the position he really wanted and we were headed to Sedgwick County. We were fortunate enough to have family with an available house that we could rent. We officially moved in the weekend before we started our jobs and the rest is history. Albeit belated, in honor of our 1-year Wichitan anniversary, here's a recap of a few of our random favorite discoveries about the town, ourselves, and our life:
Since this is a post about our address anniversary, we should celebrate with something sweet. Ice cream pie seems like a natural fit. This quick and simple recipe starts with Oreos. Not just any Oreos, but the ones with the Reese's Peanut Butter cream filling. I must confess I was sorely disappointed in these cookies. I think my high expectations of their wonderment left me accordingly underwhelmed. But, their redeeming factor: they make a kick butt crust. Once the crust is made, the rest just falls in place in no time. It's certainly a dessert with a lot of cool factor (ba dum chh). Reese's Oreo Ice Cream Pie makes one 9-inch pie Crust 1 box mini-Reese's Oreos 1/4 cup butter, melted Filling 1 container of cookies and cream ice cream (or your favorite flavor) 1/2 cup-3/4 cup chopped Reese's Minis (or more if you please; and use the unwrapped minis- easy and delish!) Instructions 1. Finely crush Oreos in food processor (or put in a Ziploc bag and crush with rolling pin). 2. Pour Oreo crumbs in a medium bowl. Mix in melted butter until well combined. 3. Spray 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray. 4. Pour moist crumbs in pie pan and pack/smoosh into an even layer including the base and sides of pan. 5. Refrigerate crust for at least 30 minutes. When you put your crust in fridge, take your ice cream out of the freezer. 6. Once crust is set, spread ice cream into crust. 7. Sprinkle the top with chopped Reese's Minis. At this point make it your own! Fill free to top with some hot fudge or more. 8. Freeze again for 20-30 minutes. Cut slices and enjoy! Store in freezer, but the pie won't last long. Dang, I wish I had a piece of that pie right now. Oh well. Here's to the next year of adventures in Wichita! Talk to you soon!
