I cannot wait for Friday! We are having a house full of people to celebrate the holiday and my Mom’s 70th birthday. If you are expecting a crowd, here is a great recipe for you to make with your kids:
Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake
- 1/2 gallon of your favorite flavor of ice cream (mint choc chip tastes great with this recipe)
- 1 package Oreo cookies (not Double Stuff)
- 1 container 8 oz Cool Whip
- 2 jars 14.5 oz. Dove DARK Choc Ice Cream Topping/Sauce
This cake is messy to make, but worth it! Your guests will be begging for the recipe. Grind up the cookies in the food processor or blender in batches until they turn into fine crumbs. Prepare for a nice pile of chocolate crumbs to fly and fall everywhere. (Try not to devour the cookies as you prepare the cake, please!) Pour 3/4 of the cookie crumbs into the glass 13X 9 inch dish. Mix 1/2 of 1 jar of ice cream topping into the crumbs to moisten them and press into pan. Spread ice cream over the crust. (You may want to soften it a bit first by leaving it out on the counter.) You may or may not need to use the entire 1/2 gallon of ice cream. Leave a little room on the top for the topping. After you have spread the ice cream out evenly, spread the carton of cool whip on top, followed by 1 jar of the choc sauce on top. Finally sprinkle the rest of the cookie crumbs on top. I like to put red, white and blue sprinkles on top and stick little toothpick flags in the cake for decoration.
Former Republican Congressman, founding trustee of the Heritage Foundation, and national chairman of the American Conservative Union, Mickey Edwards is the author of Reclaiming Conservatism: How A Great American Political Movement Got Lost- and How It Can Find Its Way Back. In the post below Edwards refutes the claim that John McCain is not a real conservative. Read more posts by Edwards here.
(Please note: I know Romney well, having worked in his gubernatorial campaign and later joining him frequently at Republican fundraising events in Massachusetts. I know McCain, too, having served with him in Congress. I have not, however, endorsed any candidate in this year’s presidential primaries.)
With Mitt Romney out of the race for President, the narrow circle of self-designated “spokesmen” for conservatism will find themselves growing ever more frantic in their desperate search for a candidate who can somehow stop John McCain’s march to the Republican presidential nomination. Mr. McCain’s apostasy, they contend, is that he is not a conservative and, in the words of Mr. Romney, “outside the Republican mainstream.” (more…)
