I have a TV, however it is only hooked up to a DVD player – I don’t even get any basic cable channels. I also do not have internet. I do however have a smart phone with cellular data. 

I love watching cooking shows – eapecially ones with competitions. Cutthroat Kitchen is a family favorite! I recently became aware of The Great British Bake Off and I am in love!! I binge-watched all three seasons on Netflix AND the Master Class episodes, and I am completely not ashamed of it. It saddens me though that only three seasons are available. I believe their are seven total that have been filmed (come one Netflix – catch up).

The hosts, Mel and Sue, crack me up, and Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are great. I absolutely adore the dynamic between them all, and love the old fashion and British recipes that come up in the series. I also love that their are three stages to each episode – and the techincal challenges are my FAVORITE. This show isn’t just about sweets either – they make savory dishes – but pastry, breads and sponges do play a big role in this show.  If you love to bake and/or watch baking shows – this show is a must see!

I decided to make Mary Berry’s recipe for a quick and easy chocolate mousse to fill my oreo crusted tart pans and top it with fresh and tart red rapsberries for our Memorial Day dessert. The girls had fun helping – Kailee made the chocolate ganache and Keianna helped make the Oreo tart crust. I wonder if we would get a Hollywood Handshake for these treats?
