I Wish These Would Show Up At MY Door ~ Cream Puffs

Janelle does not know that I am planning to toot her horn today! I am just dying to show how amazing this girl is. And I know she'd {blush} and tell me to stop - but {shoosh} Janelle! lol!!! And let the pictures do the talking.


Janelle blogs over at ComfyNKitchen.blogspot.com What sets Janelle's blog apart is her authentic heart to use her cooking - not just to serve her own family but to serve her church family, her school family, and her neighbors. She honestly cooks meals for others a couple times a week! Here's some pictures she posted on her blog this week - Exhibit A!


Rolls Rising in tins to be delivered


Homemade Tossed Salad ready to be delivered

Making broth for the Chicken and Dumplins she'll deliver - ummmm - I use the broth in the can peeps!

Cute little labels her cousin made her for Christmas!



And the same meal she cooks for others she serves her family. She makes sure her family does not get the leftovers or seconds. They get the best of her also.


Isn't she inspiring??? I have so far to go! I love her blog because regularly she role models creative ways to serve others outside her home with food.


So let me get on with her next recipe for Cream Puffs. She writes:

"This is such a delicate and tasty dessert. I love the light and airy texture of all three layers....if you like cream puffs, you are going to love this one Ladies.... (it is so much easier to make it in a 9x13 than little individuals!!)"

mix together boiling water, melted butter, flour- batter will be thick

Add eggs and beat well. Bake in an UNGREASED 9x 13 pan set to 400 for appx 30 mins or until lightly browned and "puffy"

In another bowl combine pudding mix, and milk

Once pudding is well mixed, add room temperature cream cheese and 1/2 tsp of almond extract

Combine well

When pastry puff is cooled- add cream cheese/pudding mixture over top

In a separate large bowl pour whipping cream in and beat vigorously until soft peaks form.

Add 1-2 TBSPs of sugar (do your desired sweetness) and a tsp of vanilla. Beat well again. (you may also prefer powdered sugar instead of granulated)

Spread whipped cream over pudding mixture ( You MAY use cool whip as a short cut, if you desire- I am all for it)

Drizzle with chocolate sauce - This is such a delicate (and very addictive) dessert. I hope you enjoy....

I made this meal for a family this week...they just had baby #2!

Do you have a meal ministry?

I would love to post you!

8 oz cream cheese (room temp)
2 small packages of vanilla instant pudding
3 cups of milk
1/2 tsp of almond extract
1 pint whipping cream in carton

Chocolate Syrup

In large bowl beat water, butter and flour until thick. Add eggs and beat well. Spread onto an UNGREASED 9x13 pan and bake at 400 for appx 30 mins (until lightly browned and fluffy). Let cool.

In another bowl add instant pudding and milk- beat well. Add cream cheese and almond extract and beat well- this make take a while to get to a nice, smooth consistency (it is okay if it has small lumps). Spread over cooled pastry. Beat liquid whipping cream on high until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and beat well again. Spread on top of pudding mixture. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
