I'm doing it. I'm going shopping at Target on Black Friday for the 4th year in a row. You seriously can't beat their sales! Plus they open at midnight this year so there's no more staying awake all night in line then staying awake all day. I'm hoping to get in and out in a few hours then home to rest before getting up for the day.

These are the things I'm hoping to snag:

Lots of cheap DVD (Mad Men seasons, Sex and the City seasons, House season 6, and whatever else good they have going on for cheap)

Digital Photo Frame I'm buying 2 or 3; One for my Grandma, One for my Mom and possibly one to have around our house.

Nikon L105 Digital Camera - $99.99

I really want this Rachel Ray set but since I've failed to buy a house yet, it seems kind of pointless.

Today my mom and I tried out a new recipe for the great-grandmother’s 101st birthday party. We tried this recipe because the fruit made it perfect for summer plus it was quick and easy to make!

What You Need:

• 1 ready-to use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 15-oz package)
• 1 tsp cinnamon sugar (3/4 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
• 1-1/4 cups half-and-half
• 1 package (4 serving size) JELL-O White Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
• you could also use vanilla pudding but I highly recommend the white chocolate
• 1 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping
• a few cups of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, blackberries, kiwis, etc.)
• we used strawberries and blueberries to make a red, white, and blue themed pie–(great for the 4th of July!)

Make It!


Preheat oven to 450°F. Unroll pie crust onto round baking sheet; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned; cool completely.


Meanwhile, pour half-and-half into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk for 2 minutes or until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.


Spread pudding mixture over crust just before serving and top with fruit of choice.
Cut into slices, serve, and enjoy!
