Sarcastically Sweet with Emmie
Okay! For those who know me they know that I have a huge sweet tooth (more like jaw). I also enjoy cooking and baking, thus the blog about creating sweet foods. You may be wondering where the sarcasm comes in, but its just part of my personality, and it may or may not show up in this blog. Enjoy, or not! If not don't say anything...

My Fourth of July Salad
First off I have no clue as to why this is called a salad, but it is a Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Now moving on. This "salad" is one off my mothers favorite treats. It is both sweet and salty, and it includes Jello. Unfortunately for me, and fortunate for her (The Jello part if you do not follow).I HATE Jello. Therefore, while everyone else got seconds and raved about it, I had one piece and was not tempted to get another. To everyone else it was delicious though! I must say the cream cheese filling and crust were fantastic! If you're wondering why I made this on il quatro di luglio it is because it's red, white, and...well brown. Whatever!
Strawberry Pretzel Salad Recipe
There were some modifications to cut calories such as:
1/3 less fat cream cheese
sugar free jello
fat free pretzels
Also I cooked the crust at 350 for ten minutes.

Non-Toxic French Silk Pie
So a few days ago it was my best friend's birthday. She fears raw eggs but loves french silk pie. She wanted such a pie for her birthday treat, thus started the search for raw egg free french silk pie. To cook the eggs I ended up combining the sugar and eggs over medium heat until they reached 160 degrees. You're probably thinking "Wouldn't that make sugary scrambled eggs?" and that was my worry to. But thank god, by stirring continuously I didn't get nasty, sweet fried egg embryos. (My friend would not have liked that more than she dislikes raw eggs...actually she hates eggs in general...) Later I made whipped cream and watched a video to learn how. It is an hilarious video if you accidentally turn the captions on and think that is what he is actually saying. In the end I sprinkled the pie with two crushed sticks of giant Pocky, and my friend did enjoy her pie. We ate it for breakfast the morning after our sleepover. It was pretty darn tasty!
Pie recipe/video This guy goes into way too much detail, but it is still helpful. Oh, and I used a grahm cracker crust instead.
Watch this with captions and realize why I was so confused while making my whipped cream. P.S. What does Somalia and polly cookies have to do with whipped cream?!?
