Hello! Happy Monday!! How are you? I like fresh starts whether it’s a new month or week or year, so I kinda dig Mondays
And I especially dig Mondays when I got enough sleep! I was dragging yesterday after my 3:30am wake up call for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon. I tried to watch TV last night and my head kept just dropping so I called it a night.
But before my early bed time I went to my fam’s for a Mother’s Day feast! I made a fancy salad and brought those turkey wrap things from Costco.
I was HUNGRY after the long day and running 13 miles so I stole all the rest of the salad for myself.
My dad recently went to Central California where there is a TON of fruit farms and brought back loads of strawberries and cherries. So, we used that as the base for dessert…
Chopped up: Angel Food Cake, Strawberries and Mango. Mixed with whipped cream. Dessert is served!!
But what should we name this??
Same glasses!
I also made chocolate croissants!
Ingredients:
- 1 tube of croissants – from the refrigerated section
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- honey butter
- chocolate syrup
To make: Roll out croissants place some chocolate chips and honey butter near the wider end. Roll up. Bake according to directions. Drizzle of chocolate syrup. Enjoy.

what should i name a dessert that looks like a cheesecake but its actually not, it contains whipped cream mixed with white chocolate and some chopped chocolate biscuits ??

Recently my favorite day has been Tuesdays because my wife and I get to play frisbee together! As far as the dessert goes, how about whipped mango berry Jubiliee? 🙂
Amy says
Mondays are my favorites too because of the “fresh start” feeling I get–it’s a new week! I think you should call the dessert Mango Strawberry Trifle. Because trifles are super good.
Brooke says
Angel in Drag. Favorite day is Thursday I have yoga at 6 which means I get out of putting the kids down for sleep, there’s really good television on that night and it means Friday is just 24 hours away which is the start to the weekend around here!
Losing Lindy says
OMG, Angel in Drag is perfect!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
That all looks amazing. I dont care what you call it as long as I can have some.
Tara says
My friend us to put mini snickers in the croissants and bake, oh my!
Being from Boston, I would have to call that Wicked Whipped Mangolicious Angel cup!

First, I love Natalie Dee–I first found her in 2004, and I always used her comics as my profile pic on thefacebook (hahaha, I’m old). I’m always so happy to find other people who love her too 🙂
Second, no idea what to call that dessert–I’m the most un-creative person ever when it comes to this stuff. Strawberry angel dreamcake?
Third, my favorite day is Sunday. Just because.

Have you changed your blog layout or have I accidentally changed my settings? Ads everywhere, pages really slow to load, very frustrating. I’m using the mobile version to read on my phone. I don’t think I’ll be able to continue reading in this format though.

My favourite day of the week is definitely Saturday! Wake up, laze around, drink coffee, read The Economist, go for a run, do tasks, see people, drink wine, eat food. Heaven!
That pudding looks amazing. I love piling ingredients together and mixing them with cream (or in the interest of my waistline, creme fraiche or greek yoghurt).
Monican’s Mezcla?
Mona says
Awful with names, so can’t help with dessert. I’d like a croissant now too!
Favourite day: Friday, especially at the beginning of a long weekend.
Pree says
The dessert looks so good. Anything with mango LOVE.
I have been eating huge salads for dinner these days!!
The Whipped Angel dessert haha.

Yummy-licious!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
I know this is a long shot, but maybe call it Angel Food Cake with Strawberries and Mango? Either that or just translate the whole thing into French. People eat that shit up.
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes says
Those croissants look AMAZEBALLS! Yum! I’m definitely saving this recipe for a fun get together!
Michelle says
