This is my sweet ending to the weekend!
In my quest to clear out all the food from the large
freezer so I can defrost it this spring, I've been creating
meals from little surprises in there that are making
getting dinner on the table easy and fun!
We were hungry for something sweet after dinner and I
did a little rummaging through the Arctic
air and found this pound cake. Fortunately,
I had whipped cream and Torani Caramel Sauce
to make it something extra special.
In my freezer adventures, I haven't come across any
UFO's yet. (unidentified frozen objects) But I haven't
made it to the back of the shelves just yet! ha.
Yum.
Looks yum-a-licious! I could roam in mine for a while and not concoct something like this. So decadent.
ReplyDeleteVery tasty! Perfect with a cup of tea. We need to drink some smoothies, though...lots of berries in there!
DeleteYou know I have to start doing that too. I have frozen berries and I always forget that I could be smoothie-izing them! I tend to use them in yoghurt or ice cream, or as "ice" cubes in drinks. But I never have smoothies. And they cost sooooo much at the juice bars.
ReplyDeleteYes, make a smoothie...so easy. I don't serve them enough! I love that you can make them with whatever you have on hand...always yummy!
DeleteUFOs ~ so funny ~ when I was in hospital Selina and Sue went through my freezer and kicked out some sausages with an eat by date of 2008, some pork chops with an eat by date of 2012 and some more decided dicey JARO ~ just about recognisable objects . . . . lol
ReplyDeleteRegarding your cake it looks like the answer to someone''s prayer for a meal to die for . . . . sinfully delicious . . . :) ,
haha...oh dear...I'm glad you didn't try to eat those sausages.....or any of the other things! What is jaro?
DeleteJARO is something I just made up ~ Just About Recognisable . . . lol :)
DeleteI think if I had have eaten those then I might have gotten to hospital a but quicker . . . haha
sorry "Just About Recognisable Object" . . .
Deletelol....you could have laid one of them on your ulcer and killed it!
Deletelol . . . maybe a cure . . . :)
DeleteI bet when you get to the back of the freezer you will find some mammoth steaks; I mean real hairy Mammoths from the Ice Age that crept in there to keep warm! Ha!
ReplyDeleteD'ya know last winter it was so cold in my kitchen I used to leave the freezer door open to warm the kitchen up, That cake looks really good, you are so creative.
If that's the case, you're going to have to give me pointers on how to skin a Mammoth!
DeleteShh . . . don't tell anyone . . . he is so old he used to do it regularly . . . lol
DeleteOy! Watch it laddie, you're not so young yourself!
DeleteWhat a wnderful find Betsy! I think I must raid my freezer although I am pretty sure there is nothing like this in there. :) I do have quite a bit of fruit in the freezer so maybe more smoothies on the way!
ReplyDeleteWell, a smoothie would be better for you! Maybe we'll have smoothies tomorrow. :)
DeleteSometimes I forget we even have a freezer in the basement.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I know there isn't any pound cake in there.
:0(
You should do an investigation and report any UFO's. ha.
DeleteMaybe tomorrow.
Delete:0)
haha I have nothing at all
ReplyDeleteIn the freezer at my hall
So no ufos will be found
Or jumped in once from the ground
That it was great fun
Until he go frost bite on his bun
Orlin is a crazy cat
Deletemight have gotten closed in where he sat.
A little cold
for a cat so bold.
Mine jump into the dryer
but the freezer is higher!
Dryer is nice and warm
DeleteThere they can weather a storm
It could be a storm inside
Deleteif they shut the door and take a ride!
I wish I could find some pound cake in my freezer!
ReplyDeleteCome on over...I only took out two slices...plenty more still in there! ha.
DeleteI just started this with mine. I have lots of berries to use up too. Your dessert looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI might bake a few big berry crisps and send them off to work with the mister and to an auction. That would help a lot!
DeleteI see that your rummaging skills aren't limited to auction treasures and clothing but to food as well. :) That caramel sauce looks extra good!
ReplyDeleteThat sauce is a very good brand! And the chocolate one tastes just like my homemade!
DeleteThe freezer is pretty frosty! haha...Harry figured out how to unlock it and left it open a couple of times..just enough for frost to form nice and thick. I think he was looking for where I hid the potato chips. :)
Hi Betsy - glad to see you can escape to devise delicious looking sweet endings ... that looks good - but coffee will do me for now! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? This would go great with coffee! :)
DeleteLol @ UFOs. You must have a gigantic freezer!! I didn't even know that you could freeze pound cake.
ReplyDeleteIt's an ancient thing...it's about the size of a small refrigerator...sits in the back pantry. I expect it to die sometime when it's full of food. ha.
DeleteLook delicious!
ReplyDeleteI always have berries at freezer because I use around the year!
Me, too! So nice to have on hand!
DeleteI don't have a freezer anymore but my side by side fridge freezer side is crammed full and I have been working on it. No surprises yet either but I am sure there might be some. You sure can make something beautiful out of your freezer...not me.
ReplyDeleteI'm always saying I wish my freezer was frost free, but one good thing is that the defrosting forces me to clean it out at least every other year!
DeleteOh this is not only a sweet endings but also the happy endings!!!
ReplyDeletexox
Yes...sweet and happy! The best of both worlds!
DeleteOne of these days... I will keep a list of what is in my freezer and make sure to eat things so that stuff doesn't get left in corners!
ReplyDeleteDid someone say butterscotch?
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
