The Jello Sandwich

Did I ever tell you about the time I almost gave myself diabetes?

Well it happened not too long ago. After my last sandwich adventure (see my previous entry), I decided that for my next masterpiece, I would try a dessert sandwich. A dessert sandwich you say? "It can't be done!" Hah! I say. Behold!

I'm not sure where I got the idea, but it might have come to me in a fever dream or a fortune cookie. In any case, the idea of a Jello sandwich intrigued me. I immediately began preparing it in my head, formulating how it would look and trying to figure out when i would have time to make it. Well I finally had some time and here's how it goes.

First, the ingredients;

Texas toast (or other thick cut bread)
Two packages of jello (any flavor will do)
Eggs
Marshmallow fluff
Chocolate sauce



The first thing to do is set up the Jello as it will need a few hours to set. You`ll want to make jiggler style jello so it doesn`t fall apart or melt when you put it on the bread. To do that, mix 2 packages of jello with two and half cups of boiling water. Stir it well and stick it in the fridge for at least three hours.

For the bread part, I thought French toast would compliment the Jello very nicely. If you don`t know how to make French toast, shame on you. It`s super easy. Crack a couple of eggs in a dish with a flat bottom and whip em good.



Slap the bread into the eggs, making sure to coat it on both sides, then stick it in a frying pan. (Not too hot or you risk burning, and nothing tastes worse than burning)



Fry it up until it is a nice golden brown on both sides.



Take your, now fully set, Jello out of the fridge.



Cut the Jello into squares, and place on your French toast.



Now here comes the tricky part. Marshmallow fluff is super sticky and you will probably need another utensil to get it off of whatever you are using to spread it.



After that, all you need is some chocolate sauce, some courage and probably insulin.



After trying it, I would say it makes an excellent dessert. Far too rich for meal time, but certain to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Not sure when I will I will be making my next concoction, but I have been challenged by a friend to make a cookie sandwich. If you have a great sandwich, I`d love to hear about it.

The Kraft Dinner Sandwich

So it's been over a year since I blogged. Not much to share I guess?

In any case, I was struck with a brain storm the other day and decided that it needed to be acted upon. You see, I am a lover of all things sandwich. When my wife Colleen met me she was amazed at the things that I could turn into a sandwich, be it fish sticks, turkey stuffing or peanut butter and pickles. So when the idea of a Kraft Dinner sandwich came to me, I thought, "Yes I can!"

So here it is. How to make your very own KD sandwich.

First step, a box of original Kraft dinner.



Prepare it just like the box says, simple as that, thought I found using a little less milk made it easier to handle.



Once prepared you will need a frying pan, to cook the sandwiches up, grilled cheese style.



Prepare the bread by spreading a little butter or margarine on each slice, and dusting with a little garlic salt/powder.



Place the bread butter side down on the heated frying pan and spread a generous spoonful of the KD on top.



Add ketchup.



Add the next slice of bread, making sure that the buttered side is on the outside. Cook evenly on both sides, but be careful when you flip it, as the mac and cheese will fall out easily.



Once it's done, that's it, eat and enjoy!
