New York Day 2: Junior’s, Scrappin’ & Seafood!

So on Friday day 2 we planned to have breakfast at the famous Juniors Restaurant. They are famous for their cheesecakes! We went for breakfast AND Cheesecake to go!

After breakfast we did a little shopping on Fulton Street. I got a few things but the best deal was Munchkins purple belt for $2!!! Then we headed back to pick up Mika from the train station in Long Island. She was arriving from Boston!

Once we got Mika, we headed out to Andrea’s LSS (local scrapbook store) The Scrapper’s Playground! Really great store, well stocked and friendly staff! They also have a nice crop room. None of us left the store empty handed!

After a few more shops we headed out to our dinner. Andrea made reservations at The Fishery, the plan for  was to eat out on the deck but due to a nasty storm that swooped thru we  had to dine inside. The food was soooooo good!

So after dinner we made our way back to Andrea’s to chillax, watch a movie and have DESSERT! We all ordered different flavors of cheesecake so we shared! Then we crashed to get rested for day 3!

**Deep Fried OREOS**

This past summer my family and I went to a Renaissance Festival and at this festival I experienced DEEP FRIED OREOS! I’d never knew such a delicacy existed! They made them to order HOT and fresh sprinkled with powdered sugar!  I kept saying I was going to give it a try but I thought they’d be too difficult to make at home- NOT. You need five ingredients (well 6 if you count the water needed to make the pancake batter)

I googled “fried Oreo recipe” and found this recipe at Allfoods.com one of the reviewers suggested just using pancake batter! Hey I’m all for quick and easy.

I poured vegetable oil in sauce pan and heated until it was around 350 degrees. Takes about 10-15 minutes.

Dip the Oreos in the pancake batter

I got this egg separator from my days as a Pampered Chef consultant, I’ve only ever used it to separate eggs-look what else it can do!

YUMMY!!! The cookie becomes soft and the icing in the middle melts a little and I love the little bit of crunch from the pancake! I thought about trying fried marshmallow’s-Maybe next time.

I made whole bag of Oreo’s and shared with two neighbors and a coworker.

CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Hello friends! So not only do I love scrapbooking, but I also love to cook and bake. I get a ton of recipes from Jenny @ Picky-Palate. This women has some serious skills in the kitchen. I frequent her site because she is sure to have a new ooey gooey dessert recipe that includes CHOCOLATE! Today I made her Ice Cream Sundae 4 Layer Chocolate Cake. There was a lot of mmmmmming and eye rolling going on during dsessert today.

This cake is SUPER easy and fast to make. Jenny used chocolate shaving's as on the outside of the cake but took a short cut and used chocolate chip frosting this time.
