Nancy Lee and Me - Strawberry IceBox Cake

Strawberry IceBox Cake is a fluffy pink icebox cake. A delight in the summer or any time of year.

Origin of IceBox Cake

History. The icebox cake is derived from similar desserts such as the charlotte and the trifle and made to be more accessible to prepare. It was first introduced to the United States in the 1920s, as companies were promoting the icebox as a kitchen appliance.

May 3, 2020

Nancy Lee and Me - Pineapple Dole Whip

Another taste treat from Disney is the Pineapple Dole Whip. Great on hot summer day at the parks or at home.

Origin

Dole Whip was created by Dole Food Company in 1984. It was introduced at the National Restaurant Association show in May 1984,10 years after Dole Food Company took over from United Airlines as the sponsor of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room (an attraction inside the Adventureland section of Disneyland). Dole Whip built on the attraction’s initial refreshment offering of pineapple juice & fruit spears.

Bread Pudding – Love this blast from the past

Nancy Lee and Me - Bread Pudding

Bread Pudding – A pudding being made only with boiling water, sugar, and spices. This is one of my favorite desserts.

Origin

Frugal cooks in 11th and 12th century England, where it originated, could only afford to soak the bread in hot water before squeezing it dry and then adding a mix of whatever sugar and spices they had on hand.
