Once again www.bzzagent.com sent me a yummy coupon, this time to try a Mrs Smith's pie for free. I went with cherry with the original flaky crust. I really intended it to be for the family for Easter as one of the desserts, no really. However knowing the pie was in the freezer and knowing I had whipping cream in the fridge just weighed heavily on my taste buds. Give me a break I am pregnant !!
It was easy to prepare, just pre-heat your oven and pop the bad boy in till the crust is golden brown. If for some reason the edges cooked faster than the rest of the pie then cover the edges with foil ( I really should have done that but meh ) While the pie was going I whipped that cream into well whipped cream goodness. I was not very clever when it came to pairing it with something but it was still so good.
I did burn the edges of my crust ( I really should have covered the edges ) but it did not matter. It smelled so good. I covered our slices in cream and dug in. The cherries were nice and tart, the crust so buttery and good. It was nice and easy to make and could pass as home made. Next time I will try apple and share with the extended family !
Disclaimer: I did receive this product for free and I was not compensated for my opinions which are all mine.
It's been over a month since my last post, how terrible is that ? My excuse...I am too tired and that is the truth ! I finally hit my third trimester and it's been nothing but a literal headache, seriously every day I have a headache some days are terrible such as today but I bit the bullet and here I am.
My days are spent at the doctor's office it feels like, fine it's once or twice a week. Or in Labor and Delivery for a non stress test. I was there last week to receive steroid injections in case we need to deliver me at 32 weeks. We play it by ear week to week but at least I am steroid complete. I know this is my last pregnancy and should enjoy it but it's been so stressful ! And in all honesty I hate being pregnant the only good thing is feeling her move. But even at some of those times it hurts, girlfriend is practicing her ninja kicks or something. I am just not one of those women who enjoy being pregnant.
On another note Happy Easter if you celebrate. My day was spent with family which was nice and Gina was excited to see the bunny came, she also got gifts/treats from family. I wish I could have enjoyed it even more but today was tough headache wise ( I know you could make a drinking game out of the number of times I write the word headache ) no matter how much Tylenol I took my head throbbed. I even took my prescribed meds ( which are OB approved while pregnant ) with no relief. If it were not a holiday I would have called the Dr or went to the ER for some relief it was that bad. I did not want to put anyone out though I feel like I do it enough as it is. Hopefully tomorrow I will wake up pain free. It's crazy to think that next Easter I will have THREE daughters, it blows my mind.
Any who, I promise to write more. I will not let the tiredness or headaches win. I do have a couple reviews up my sleeve for you so be on the look out for those !
