Weekday Suppers need to be quick around my house. We often eat in shifts. What does that mean? My guy might need to eat dinner at 3:00 before leaving for the night shift. The same night, I might not get home until after 4:00. So how do we compromise?
For those nights I prep fresh meals that cook fast. Soup and sandwiches fit the bill.
Spring is here, so soups need to be lighter but still satisfying. Fresh Pea Soup delivers delicate pea flavor in a creamy vegetable broth base. No cream needed. Partner it with a honey turkey, fresh mozzarella, red pepper and arugula grilled cheese on sourdough. A surefire hit!

I received a set of free cleaning tools to review. I received no further compensation. Opinions are my own. #OXOSpringCleaning
I love Riley but he has to go!
Out onto the enclosed porch, into the bedroom, anywhere but here. I need to get some spring cleaning done!
I can’t wait to throw the windows open and enjoy fresh air inside again. OXO knows about those spring time blues. Days are longer. The sun is stronger. Temperatures ride the roller coaster from daytime high of 60 and can plummet to 25 the same night! The itch to clean out reminders of winter is strong. I cook everyday so the kitchen and prep area gets a thorough cleaning daily. But there is still nothing like a good spring cleaning to brighten your mood and shake off the doldrums! Thanks OXO for these great tools to help get the job done! If you have a pet, you probably know what I mean. Pet hair can get in the most unusual places. Like your keyboard for example. Luckily OXO has a tool for that. The OXO Electronics Cleaning Brush.

Then there is the daily mess. Sometimes bending down there just doesn’t seem appealing. The area around the litter box. This butler makes quick work of it.

Now that’s much better!

Spring means muddy season around here. The ground thaws out. Snow melts. Creeks rise. So why not make Mud Pies?
Moist, dark, clumps packed into individual pie shells. You know, getting back to nature.
I love getting dirty. Prepping the garden. Digging my hands in the soil and squishing it through my fingers.
It kind of like cooking. Now wait, hear me out.
I cook by feel as much as sight, smell, sound and taste. Listen for the sizzle or flop of dough on the hook. Potatoes squeak when roasted. Have you ever ran to the stove because you heard a pot boil over?
Dough needs (no pun intended) to reach a certain texture. You knead it until it feels right.
Meatloaf gets mixed by hand. Its ready when it holds together but still feels moist.
I was stumped when the April Fool’s Day Sunday Supper theme was announced. Then I looked outside. It just rained and there was mud everywhere.
So…
APRIL FOOLS!
If you haven’t already guessed it, this muddy mess is really tasty cake, pudding and chocolate cookie crumbs.
Its more a method than a recipe. Fun dessert or treat!
First, take a 9-inch pie crust, homemade or purchased and cut it into 4 pieces. Press each piece into a large muffin tin cup. Don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be perfect, its mud pie!
Bake for about 9 minutes at 350, no grease until almost baked. Remove and set aside. Residual heat should finish the baking. If not, return to the oven. Let completely cool before removing from tin. Remove the cream filling. Crumble the cookies. What you do with the creamy centers is your business. 😉
Fill with cake, pudding and cookie mix. Decorate with cookie crumbs.
10 chocolate sandwich cookies plus 2 for garnish (I used Oreos) cream removed and crushed
Instructions
Cut the crusts into 4 pieces each. Press each piece into a large muffin tin cup. Prick with a fork. Bake at 450 for about 9 minutes or until almost done. Remove and place pan on rack. Dough should finish cooking outside oven. Return to oven if needed. Cool completely before removing.
Mix together cake crumbs, pudding and cookie crumbs.
Fill pie shells. Garnish with additional crumbs. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
