2 5.9 oz Chocolate pudding boxes 2 cups cold whole milk 2 T. Stephen's mint truffle hot chocolate powder mix 3 (?) C. heavy cream 3 +/- T. powdered sugar 1 T. vanilla
Mix pudding with milk and mint truffle hot chocolate powder. Spoon 1-2" layer in bottom of oreo crust. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla.

Cool weather food is supposed to be hot. Like pumpkin pie and apple cobbler, not some pansy little "chilled" thing that tries to be a real dessert. Humph!
mmmm....last night we made apple pie! The best part is that we got the apples at Costco, so they were HUGE and what was supposed to take 6 apples only took 4, so we totally have plenty to make another!
Apple pie for breakfast is the best, especially when you take it to work! :)

Wha---!? See, hic, now we need a yummy, healthy soup to eat BEFORE the dessert... just a sliver.
If you like soup Coco I have a great recipe for Tortellini Soup that is great for cooler weather. I made it for a family that had a baby early last spring and they still keep asking me for the recipe.
1 lb. italian hot sausage 1 lg. onion, chopped 2 T. garlic 5 cans beef broth 1/2 c. red wine vinegar 2 cans tomatoes, cut up 6 to 8 carrots, sliced 1 tsp. basil 1 tsp. oregano 8 oz. tomatoe sauce 4 to 5 zuccini, sliced 1 box lima beans (frozen) 3 T. fresh parsley 12 oz. cheese tortellini (or any other you may have one hand)
Fry beef, onion and garlic: drain. Add all ingredients except tortellini. Simmer until vegetables are done. Bring to a rolling boil. Add pasta. When done, serve.
If you try it, let me know what you think. We like it!

Well, I DAAARRE you to try the soup WITH the lima beans! But if you're gonna be a whiner like one of my kids then omit the lima beans and put in some other veggie. However, you can barely taste them in the soup. Sheesh.
