THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE OF HORRORS!!!!

   So, this past Saturday, Amy, the girls and I constructed a gingerbread house kit that my aunt send us for Christmas.  This is what came in the kit:

   So we started things off by kneading the frosting for a couple minutes to warm it up a bit and then cutting a 1/4 inch off the edge of the bag.  The first parts to be frosted were the walls and the trench  in the  plastic stand it would sit in.

We had to use some of the frosting as glue to mend one of the roof pieces that had broken in half.

The Tropical Elvis-wich

It is well-known or, at the least, often purported that a favorite snack of The King was deep-fried, peanut butter and banana sandwiches.  I decided, this past Saturday, that I would upstage the Lord of Graceland and make my own version.  I kept the basic elements and decided to add my own special flair.  What we have pictured above is a grilled  peanut butter-Nutella-banana-coconut sandwich or as I like to call it, The Tropical Elvis-wich.  Yes!  No healthy vegan alternative in THIS post (although, there are no animal products involved other than the milk in the Nutella spread)!  I pretty much took my daughter's request for a sandwich and ran with it.
