This one is right around Mother's Day, and I wanted to have a meal that made the whole family happy. My Friday Night Meal this week is from Corky's, and will put a smile on everyone's face! You may get a little messy, but that just means you are doing it right, and brings everyone closer. You get 5 pounds of rib racks, and 2 full pounds of pulled pork. That's a lot of barbecue!
Since The Wishful Dish airs on Mondays at 5pm, anything frozen will get there by Friday. So, when you are tired of making it all come together for the week, I come to the rescue with the Friday Night Meal! But instead of doing a side dish this week, I worked with Jimmy Stovall from Corky's, to see what types of recipes his mother used to make for him. He shared with me his favorite dessert from his childhood, and so in honor of Mother's Day, here is Mrs. Stovall's recipe:
Sue's Chocolate Eclair Cake
1 box of graham crackers
2 small boxes of vanilla instant pudding
3 cups of milk
1 cup of powdered sugar
8 oz whipped topping
2 cans of milk chocolate frosting (preferably at room temperature)
Simply mix the pudding, milk and sugar together, then fold in the whipped topping.
Then, grease a 9x11" pan.
Layer the graham crackers in the bottom of the pan, and then spread 1/2 pudding mix on top. Follow that with another layer of graham crackers, and another layer of pudding mix. Finish it by putting one last layer of graham crackers on top, and frost it with the milk chocolate frosting.
Cut into squares!! SO GOOD!!!!!
Here are a couple of tips:
Store it in the fridge, and it's almost better the second day. If you don't like whipped topping, you can substitute real fresh whipped cream in it's place.
One of the best things about this is that you don't need to wait to enjoy it! The kids will love it, and a big thank you to Sue for supplying the recipe! Happy Mother's Day!
Also, I have been working with the food buyers to try and get one item in every show at a truly fantastic value. This one is from Kansas City Steak Company, and the price will only be good until the end of the day tomorrow! 12 sirloins for under $50! If you want to check it out, click here.
I am excited to have you join me on Monday at 5pm, but until then, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
