My Earliest Oreo Moment #OREOmoment

March 11, 2012 by Momstart

 

OREO is celebrating their 100th Birthday with an OREO moment. On the OREO 100th Birthday website you can share your OREO moment to be entered to win $200. Here’s my moment:

Growing up my step mom would make this OREO ice cream cake for me every year and I loved it. She would buy a carton of OREO ice cream, OREO cookies, Cool Whip, and toffee bits. She would mix half of the Cool Whip with all of the ice cream and a strip of the OREO cookies all crumbled up. That would then go in the cake pan. Then she would top it with the remaining whipped cream and then sprinkle the toffee bits on top of that. It was to die for. I’m looking for an occasion to make this in my house. I know the whole family will like it as much as I do.

Cookie Jar

Even with that awesome memory of OREO cookies that’s not my earliest memory. My earliest memory would have to be sitting with my grandparents in their kitchen. My grandmother always had cookies in a cookie jar on the very top of a china hutch. Even with a chair there was no way I could reach it. My papa would get it down for me and give me two cookies, and sometimes they were home made and sometimes they were store bought. I remember one time when they were OREO cookies. Usually we would dunk our cookies in coffee. Yes my grandparents let me drink coffee at a very early age, but it just encouraged my sweet tooth. My coffee was milk with sugar and then some coffee.

My first memory was of my grandpa opening a package of OREO cookies and giving me two and he took about five. Then he put the rest of the package in the cookie jar. We had our milk and our coffee, and he said it’s better in milk and to this day I still agree. OREO cookies are much better dunked in milk than in coffee. I remember leaving my first on in the milk to long and then when I pulled it out it folded over into my cup. I dipped my second one where it was soft enough to melt into my mouth. Then I gulped my milk down so that I could eat my first cookie that ended up in the bottom of the glass.

OREO is celebrating its 100th Birthday by encouraging all of us to take a moment to slow down, and celebrate the kid inside. Celebrate with us for a chance to win $200! Simply follow these two steps to enter:

Edible Gifts Plus Review & Giveaway

April 29, 2009 by MomStart 360 Comments

 

Being a blogger has it’s ups and downs. I feel lately I’ve had way too many reviews and not enough personal content. I include personal content in all of my reviews but I think my husband is the only person that reads all of them. He likes how I personalize each one.

So, Edible Gifts contacted me or I contacted them, I can’t quite remember. However, they chose to send me a sample. They asked me what I wanted and I said a box of chocolate covered strawberries. Then I said, ummm, don’t spend that much on me, just send me whatever.

They sent me the sample box. I looked in the box and thought, wow this is pretty stuff. The cookies look like artwork. It contained two sugar cookies, a fortune cookie, a white chocolate covered marshmallow and a chocolate covered oreo.

I hate chocolate covered Oreo’s made by Nabisco. So I was afraid to try this one. To my surprise it was delicious. So I hoarded the entire box of samples that they sent me. I didn’t share any of it. The only item I didn’t like was the marshmallow. I don’t like marshmallows and I don’t like white chocolate.
