BEHOLD the monstrosities!

Ambrosia was voted as the #1 choice but I was craving the lime fluff. So I made both!


And then a few hours later, I had to edit the ambrosia since I forgot the Cherries of Unnatural Color


I also tossed in a few extra bourbon pecans. I didn't even use a full container of whipped topping between both dishes. Guess as a kid I did like the sugar bomb. Nowadays I prefer it toned down some.

I'll make the Watergate salad over Memorial Day weekend and get this silliness out of my system

I hope you enjoyed.

Actually, I don't seem to be that much of a fan of the ambrosia. I like that I made the green fluff less sweet. It's a guilty pleasure but less guilt

Unnatural salads for the win! I hope they satisfied the cravings!

Every so often I will have a yen for something that my mom would make when I was a kid - there aren't too many things - but the one thing I do occasionally crave is macaroni the way she made it.

Macaroni noodles + campbell's tomato soup. Literally boil the macaroni, drain it, open a can of soup and dump it over and mix it through. Tadaa! Then she would take that, dump a chunk of butter into a cast iron frying pan, and fry up a panful of macaroni with butter and salt and pepper - and she would eat that, LOL.

I make it the way she made it for herself, only I add a bit of bbq sauce since, honestly, the tomato soup has very little flavour, LOL

I have no idea where this meal came from - but as kids we loved our bowl of macaroni - she never made mac and cheese - I didn't have Kraft Dinner until I was in college, LOL

I'm going to go for the trifecta and over Memorial Day weekend, make the Watergate salad with the pistachio pudding. The green fluff is actually really tasty since I cut the sweetness a good bit. Not a big fan of the ambrosia, though.

LOL Never heard of that combination. We like to make macaroni, hamburger and tomatoes and I've made it with impossible burger to really good results. Plenty of italian spice and gaaaaarlic.

No good ol' box mac and cheese? But...but...but you were DEPRIVED! lol
