One of the easiest ways for me to feel more creative is to try a new recipe. I head to Pinterest and take a look at what looks delicious. However, I need to make sure I’m actually getting the ingredients and making the food. Otherwise all I’m doing is spending time on social media…and I certainly don’t need to spend additional time doing that.
I made this Oreo Dirt Pie for a family dinner. It can be a little risky trying a new dessert for a family event. But this was just my husband and kids. The event was meet my son’s new girlfriend dinner. I decided to go for the new recipe – if it was awful I would learn if she was kind enough to say it was good anyway.
The pie is actually a box cake with a lot of chocolate deliciousness added to it. I changed the chocolate fudge for chocolate syrup. That is what my family prefers on ice cream so I thought they would prefer it in the cake and because it was already in my fridge. And I made sure not to eat too many Oreos while I was making the cake so I would have enough for the dessert. I kept my husband out of the kitchen for the same reason.
Thank you to the Frugal Navy Wife for this fabulous dessert. Give it a try. It’s sure to get your creative juices flowing!
