Swiss Roll Birthday Cake

My son turned 14 years old today! I decided on an ice cream cake. This is SO EASY! Remember, I had to think outside the box..or should I say, cake? Here goes:

2 boxes of Little Debbie Swiss Roll Cakes
2 pints of premium real vanilla ice cream
2 pints of premium chocolate cookie dough ice cream
1 jar hot fudge sauce
9 inch deep bowl
Saran wrap

Line bowl including s sides with saran wrap
Take 2 boxes of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls and slice each roll into 4 pieces
Line bottom and sides of saran wrapped bowl with Sliced Little Debbie Rolls-all the w a y to the top. Place in freezer for 30 minutes. Take 2 pints of the SOFTENED premium real vanilla ice cream and and  spread in cake lined bowl ( bottom, sides- all the way to the top. Freeze for one  hour. Repeat steps for the chocolate fudge sauce and freeze for one hour. Dump premium chocolate cookie dough ice cream into bowl, then add any remaining Little Debbie Swiss Chocolate Roll slices on top and freeze for 4  hours. Remove from freezer and turn upside down. Remove saran wrap and serve. This cake freezes well. ENJOY!

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

It's been a while, hasn't it?  I Sincerely apologize to my followers on not writing out my tried and true recipes. I am a nurse who had been working a Baylor shift for nearly 3 years. In layman terms this means: Every weekend, 2-12 hour shifts, get paid for 36 hours. Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, enter "tween" ( aka 12 1/2 yr old testosterone -filled youth) who enjoys sports and pool parties. Ok, enter single mom/ weekends only nurse. Can this relationship be combined successfully? Take one guess.. I now work 3-12 hour shifts with every other weekend off. This now gives me a chance to attend worship every other Sunday and be a sports mom on that Saturday. I'm exhausted, but who isn't out there?

My Passion is in order: Mom, Cooking/Baking, Skincare, Nursing. Over this past year I've developed recipes for meals that take one hour or less to table.Most take even less than that. I can honestly say that the recipes I'm putting out now to you have passed the tween test along with my son's fellow team mates. The Green Chili Enchiladas was a hit! This is actually a leftover. So, here goes..Enjoy!
