How do you guys do grocery shopping? Are you a “Let’s make a list, check it twice and then hit the store with a plan.” kinda shopper? Or are you more like “Uh oh. Pantry is empty. Time to hit the grocery store!” kinda shopper? I’m definitely more of the former than the latter. I like lists. I like checking things off of lists. It makes me feel like I accomplished something!

Back when we were younger, Laura and I would always hit up the grocery store on Saturday morning. We’d have a general idea of things we needed, but I liked to just wander the aisles and see what was on sale that week. It drove Laura batty. She hated wandering the aisles! But I enjoyed it. Not only did I sometimes stumble across good deals, but I’d find all sorts of new products that sounded like fun. I always skipped the medicine and home goods section of the store, but I definitely made up for it in the produce and refrigerated sections! Oh, and the baking section. I’ve always loved to bake.

Fast forward a few years and one kid later. I no longer wander the aisles. I don’t have time for that! I’ve got a limited amount of time each day while Robbie is in daycare, and I have to be efficient! I always hit the store with a list. The list is broken into ingredients for the week on one side, and food/medicine/etc. for Robbie on the other side. I’m a man on a mission when I walk into that store! (Of course, I sometimes still end up with a stray package of chips or cookies in my basket…especially if they’re on sale!)

One thing that is always on my grocery list, though? International Delight creamers. On the weekends, I’ll add a small splash to my morning cup of coffee. It’s a little treat to myself. Did I mention that Robbie has taken to getting up early on the weekends? A couple of weeks ago, Laura was out of town for work. It was just me and Robbie manning (literally!) the homefront. One morning, Robbie decided he was over sleeping…at 4am. So we made our way downstairs, and Robbie watched Micky Mouse Clubhouse while Dad consumed a lot of coffee. Let me tell ya…that coffee never tasted so good!

This past week, I grabbed some White Chocolate Raspberry creamer since the in-laws were in town. My mother-in-law is a big fan of raspberry, so I thought I’d surprise her by having this fun flavor in the fridge. I also decided to use a bit of the creamer to make these Cream Horns. Have you ever made Cream Horns? They’re super easy to make, and they’re a fun dessert to serve.

These Cream Horns are essentially puff pastry wrapped around a mold and then filled with pastry cream once baked. But the pastry cream is where you can have some fun! I used International Delight’s White Chocolate Raspberry creamer in place of some of the milk, and the pastry cream took on an amazing new flavor. One bite, and I knew these Cream Horns would be a big hit. (I broke one of the Cream Horns while I was filling it with pastry cream…so I did the logical thing and ate the evidence.)

While I used White Chocolate Raspberry creamer for these Cream Horns, you could easily make these with International Delight’s other festive holiday flavors. Just imagine how good Peppermint Mocha or Frosted Sugar Cookie would be in a pastry cream! As we begin the final countdown to Christmas, stop and take a moment for yourself. Curl up on the couch with a good book, or pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy watching cartoons at 4am. Yes, I said enjoy! Fun just comes in different forms once you have kids. I hope you all have a great weekend! Cheers!
