recipes

and I have to say these might be some of the best recipes I've ever shared. I have a feeling everyone will love them. We will love them, so I am very excited to share them with you. All I'm going to start with is dessert, we're making a super easy ice cream cake.

Yes, ice cream cake. I guess that's

what

we call it. Cake layers. Layers of ice cream. Layers of frozen caramel and chocolate in the freezer. it gets more summer than that, oh my gosh, it's going to be so good and then we're also going to make a tomato bread dish, I don't even know

what

to call it, but when you see it, if you like tomatoes, you'll be I'll be obsessed and then I'm also going to make my pumpkin casserole which is so good and the monkey and I will be grilling tonight we will have roast chicken in the big green egg so it will be a delicious

dinner

and I can't wait to prepare and try these recipes with all of you.

I said I'd start with dessert first, so I'm going to go ahead and make this chicken in adobo so we can get a good flavor when we grill it and I'm just going to make some of our sweet raisin barbecue sauce, you all know we love that , but I'm going to kick it up a notch, so I'm going to add a little bit of brown sugar and a little bit of Frank's hot sauce. a splash of Worcestershire, a little bit of garlic and a little bit of black pepper just to give it a little bit more zing, so I'm going to go ahead and do that and then I'm going to put it on our chicken and then we'll make our dessert okay, I also forgot a ingredient. a big splash of apple cider vinegar which is really good but you know what I just remembered we bought this as a vinegar based barbecue sauce and it was really good so I'm going to add a little bit of this too are you making this ? or I'm doing this, it's going to be a collaborative effort, y'all, this is going to be like the bunkies, the dream

dinner

, like this ice cream cake, the tomato, the tomato bread, whatever, I really want this to be everything, bee, call me that, be me, oh God.

Gosh, okay, this is the pioneer woman's recipe and when I say it's easy, I literally mean it's easy, so you're going to need a frozen pound cake, so it's in the freezer section of your supermarket, it's very inexpensive and then two types of ice. cream or however much you want, any flavor you want, you can make, you can make one flavor, you can make two flavors alternating, you can make three flavors, exactly whatever you want, pretty much unlimited, so we're making cookie dough with Chocolate chips and then chocolate, oh. Yes, and then you'll cover it with a chocolate sauce that hardens.

I thought the Reese's shell one would be so good that was a good move and then in between the layers you'll be mixing or cutting up candy so I have the m ms and then I thought because we have those dark chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups, I think we have a health bar dressing in the pantry, I think I threw it out, but we'll check it out and see there it goes, there goes my night, so anyway we're going to go ahead and take this and then cut it into three slices, How do you say that?

Yeah, three is three sections, so after you cut this into three slices, you're going to take one of these like 10 um Loaf Pans and you're going to line the whole thing with plastic wrap and then put it inside that way. Every time you take it out of the freezer, you can easily take it out, that's perfect, oh, should we skim that top? off or not, yeah, if you want, I think I want, okay, the first layer that goes is the cake and then we're going to cover this with ice cream, what flavor do you want first?

Well, we do three layers right, so one layer is going to have twice as much, so do we want double chocolate or double cookie dough? I think cookie dough I would also suggest you let the ice cream sit for about 10 minutes before doing this, at least just to make it soft enough to be easily spreadable next layer cake. Can I mix the ice cream scoop here? Yes, there is nothing wrong with mixing ice cream. Everyone knows how fun it is. Sometimes I have to ask him because he goes crazy over things ranging from chocolate to chocolate chips.

Cookie dough ice cream is acceptable, perfectly acceptable, you don't want to break the bread, so you have to be a little gentle when you spread this ice cream, so now that we have this layer of chocolate ice cream, let's just go ahead and snack on some of these. peanuts and then sprinkle them all over the top of the chocolate ice cream, okay at this point if you want to add more sweets like peanut butter rice cups or whatever you can, I'm just going to go. go ahead and add our Reese's chocolate shell on top of this and then we're going to use the sides of our plastic wrap to go around it and put it in the freezer and you want to make sure that you're using the um. chocolate syrup that hardens as soon as it hits the ice cream, not just like regular chocolate syrup, but like shell chocolate, so now that it's dry, we're just going to use this plastic wrap to cover it, you may need a little . a larger piece and then place it in the freezer for up to four hours and it's ready to serve so we're going to start with our second recipe and this recipe we saw from Bucky and I always watch the Food Network like on Saturdays. and on sunday mornings we love to do that and we like to have our coffee and valerie was there and she showed this and bunkie was like "oh my god, she said we have to do that" and I couldn't get over how easy it was and I feel like tomatoes.

They are like the perfect food for summer. This would be great for a small gathering just to have as a small hors d'oeuvre or as an appetizer. Very easy and I don't like tomatoes, but I can tell you this. it's going to be delicious i think the vinegar and garlic in it are right here oh my god it's going to be good say the name pan con tomato which means bread with tomato which is exactly what it is literal translation into english go ahead okay, so you're going to take a big tomato like this and you're going to cut it in half because we're going to grate it and you want to use a large grater in a bowl to get everything. that juice you don't want the skin there just the pulp it's not so surprising how it literally leaves you with nothing but the skin.

I'm so surprised that you can grate tomatoes like that, I honestly never knew this was even a thing, no I've seen it, I think people like it, oh I have to be careful here because what's that called, it's where the vine comes in, oh yeah, but I've seen onion, this made with onion before, yeah, wow, that's cool. I could eat it with a spoon, I know you could, oh my gosh, oh we need to toast our bread, oh gosh, yes, okay, before we add anything else to this, let's go ahead and toast our bread. Do you want to do it in the toaster or in the oven, well, it's near the end of May, it's air conditioning season, uh, let's use a toaster, I think it will be fine.

Toaster oven, no, I'm sure it's fine, so for the bread you need to make sure you have a really good one. Sturdy bread because it has to take all that juice. I wanted to find a bread that wasn't already sliced. I could make the slices a little thicker, but our store only had the ones that were already seasoned, so we'll just make it work, but this is a bread with olive oil and rosemary and it's very good, but any kind of big, thick sourdough bread would be perfect, so an important shortcut here, yes, if you have thicker bread or want to.

Turn on the oven, you can also throw it in there at 450 500 degrees for about five minutes, so for two hours, grated tomatoes, the bunny will add a clove of garlic, oh, sorry, and then we'll add two teaspoons of cherry vinegar. and then I need to whisk while you add that, yes you can, and then just a little bit of olive oil and then a big pinch of salt and the tomatoes can really take on salt, so don't do too much, but don't do too much. a little bit okay, so our toasted bread we're just going to pour this tomato mixture on top and you want to make sure it covers all the spaces and then we're going to add a little more splash of olive oil and then we're going to cover with a little bit of flaky sea salt, okay, tell me, that doesn't look good, are you that excited?, the crunch is great, it's amazing, yeah, it's like a lot like some simple things, but all together it's a delicious combination ooh, you guys have to try this and tell us how you think it's this and that took us about five minutes yeah not very long if you like tomatoes you should make this as you can see here I put a little bit of grated parmesan cheese on this and then it's like you went from some bread with tomato to almost have pizza sandwiches that are like a no bake pizza um okay so funky will come out and turn on the big green egg so we can barbecue our chicken and I'm going to go ahead and start with our pumpkin casserole that I made last year and everyone loved it.

It really is like one of the easiest pumpkin casserole recipes. It's actually Paula Deen's recipe, so I'm going to go. Go ahead and cut up all of our squash and then we'll sauté it in the pan. You can also add chopped onion to this, of course, I'll leave that out, but if you love onion, sauté that with your squash. I'm going to make this in two batches, so I'm going to go ahead and let them sauté for a few minutes and get really soft and then I'll add the other batch. I just saw one fly by, did he land on me?

Not so far bunky the grove collaborates on fannies uh-huh the mosquito wipes are effective, okay, I asked bunkie for these wipes so that hopefully no mosquitoes eat them and I said today on my Instagram story because I shared them, we should get a pack for the camper because it will be great for you to have them, they smell, I smell it, I feel like I smell lemon, like lemongrass with lemon, that's what I smell and it's like, uh, it felt good putting it on, it felt very natural , well, very natural and um. Since I did it no one has landed on me and you know I'm sweet as sugar that's why they attack me you're sweet and cute how your fire is coming how close are we where well can you see bunkie they say where there's smoke there's fire I see some smoke munchie You want to show them your haircut come here and show everyone your haircut it's so cute no kidding isn't she the most beautiful girl you've ever seen so I went ahead and skipped our pumpkin? and you just want to sauté it until it's soft and then in this bowl I'm going to mix everything together and then I'm going to put it in our saucepan and top it with nice crushed cookies.

My mouth is watering, we actually went to a restaurant on the beach called Hoskins and they have a great Sunday lunch, it's like fried chicken with three sides and they had pumpkin casserole which was probably the monkeys' favorite part, right? ? I was a big fan of pumpkin casserole. fill this bunky night because it's been a very recent memory, it was so good, that's what made us want to have this again and then I remembered I did this last year and it was so good, so anyway, yeah, um , so let's get to this. I'm going to add parmesan and you all know we like to use our two different styles of parmesan so we have the grated there or the grated and then the grated and I'll leave the exact measurements in the recipe below but you all know.

I'm just observing approximately how much I couldn't tell you and then to this you want to add salt and pepper to taste. I'm going to use our blend types, you know we use this. on everything and it's salt, pepper and garlic, so I thought the garlic would give it a little bit more goodness, yeah, so just a little bit of that, well, he doesn't like it too much because it's a little salty, yeah, that's well, now. Well, I'm going to use all of this, so I'm going here with my spatula, but next you're going to add sour cream, eight ounces, I couldn't tell you, so I see about half of it. one cup I think it's about half a cup it could be a whole cup that's a whole cup the more the better and then also something sharp I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing sorry that's okay and then the last thing is a little bit sharp cheddar cheese and then give this a good stir, okay, now I'm just going to add my mixture to a greased baking dish, then the macho man will flatten our ribs a little more palm and that's it, I'm going to put this in. in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes and then this will be ready and how's the chicken, it looks good, we're getting there, okay, we have about 10 more minutes with the chicken, so that's okay because it's 20 minutes and then the the chicken can rest, you're adding more porn, well a little bit of this, a little shake of this isn't going to hurt at all, right, I know, it's right, I'm about to devour this meal, we had a little bit of cheddar cheese.

I left it in that bag, I don't know why I didn't just throw it all in there, so I just sprinkled a little bit on top to finish the bag, but oh my gosh, this might be one of my favorite foods and totally. It reminds me of summer. Everyone could use these meals for Memorial Day weekend. If you feel like getting together, this tastes like summer. Yes, I'm right. Yes you're right. Let's put this under the broiler for a second. Okay, get a little crunch on top. Okay, I forgot, we forgot. Look at that.he probably could have done it, no that's good right oh my god thank god he remembered we literally almost forgot he was there oh but you saved him just in time you're sweating after that yeah all that I know I probably am. so bright it's summer and it's hot outside I'm so sweaty hey shiny I'm glad I'm listening come on, now you're listening that's going to be crazy, crazy in a good way, yeah, this pumpkin casserole is so good, it's amazing, like creamy, rich, cheesy, parmesan, nutty, luxurious, luxurious, it's like silk, don't you believe me?, it's quite luxurious, it's so good, you have to make this, can you imagine if we put the onion in there , even better, yes?

I know damn well, I think I maybe put in, like you know, a little bit of sour cream, but once this settles, it'll be fine, honestly, I like the extra creaminess because then you can dip that chicken in there, oh. My big idea, this is really good, man, this is so good, I have to try the chicken, take a bite of that chicken girl, oh monkey, this is cooked really well, there's something about that slow
