One more week of work!!!! So pumped to be on summer vacation so I can dream about wedding details!
Did I mention we have a wedding date, because we have a date! June 1, 2013 – I will be a bride (knock on wood). That’s tomorrow! Matt’s browsing coral bow ties as we speak:) I’m thinking of trying on some dresses in a few weeks (just for fun). Next on my to-do list is picking out save-the-dates and making a guest list. And deciding on bridesmaids will be the most difficult task of all: / How do you only pick some friends but not others? I love them all! I used to think I wanted a huge urban wedding, but as I experience friends’ weddings and life gets busier, I’m actually hoping for something smaller. Not casual per se, just more relaxed. Matt and I both love Bald Head Island and we’ve decided that it would be the perfect place for an elegant and breezy wedding weekend! I hope everything works out!
Speaking of the beach, Kath promised my ice cream pie recipe and I’ve had several requests, so here it is!
Ice Cream Pie:
-Crush 24 Oreos (or Joe’s Joes) in a plastic bag with something hard or use a food processor – they don’t have to be very fine because the bigger chunks of cookie taste great!
-Mix crushed cookies with 1/4 cup melted butter until well combined
-Press mixture into a pie pan using the back of a spoon and let harden in freezer (30 minutes minimum) or fridge (1 hour)
-Spread one carton of ice cream into pie crust. Note: it’s best to let the ice cream sit out for a while or make the pie when you get home from the grocery store and the ice cream has softened enough to spread
-Put pie back in freezer for at least an hour
-Serve with whipped cream, cherries, butterscotch, and chocolate syrup!

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
oh my that pie looks heavenly!! I would probably eat that until I felt sick – looks like one of those desserts you just can’t stop eating!
Thanks, I can’t wait to try this recipe. Just curious, did you use cookies and cream ice cream too?
And Congrats……one year till your wedding!
Yup! I like that or mint chip or cookie dough…
Although I am not yet engaged, going to weddings has made me think about the bridesmaids dilemma. One alternative to having a ton of bridesmaids is to have “guests of honor” who may be listed on the program or wedding website and maybe you give them a special gift or corsage to wear and honor them in some way on your wedding day. That would also give them the freedom of wearing what they want
just an idea! Yay for a June beach wedding!!!
Do you put the toppings on just before serving, or do you put it in the freezer for a bit? looks so good. Thinking about doing it either with mint chocolate chip or a chocolate/pb combo
Either is prob fine. I put mine on before and then added whipped cream!
