Homemade Moonpies

Ahhh Moonpies. Do you remember them? Of course you do! I remember the chocolate and the yellow (banana?). I also remember not liking them all that much.

My mom, well my mom LOVES moonpies. Almost as much as those weird red peanut cluster things.

Anywhoo....

I saw that you could make your OWN Moonpies a few months ago on Pinterest. As soon as I saw that I knew exactly what I was going to do.

Make them for my mom.

So this past week I did just that.

I found a few recipes on Pinterest but, decided to go with this one. It was very easy to make and I did it over two days. That was probably the best decision I made. I made the cookies on one day then the marshmallow the next. I also covered them with chocolate the same day I made the marshmallow cream.

In the recipe I used she does a double-decker. I decided to go with just a single sandwich cookie and am glad I did. These are SO rich, I can't imagine them being double-decker.

I did add a second layer of chocolate then smoothed it over the edges. You will want a tall glass of cold milk with you when you eat these. They are SO good.

Let me know if you make them and what you think.

Enjoy!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys! I have some EXCITING news! Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good! Go check it out! While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well! I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING! This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67! Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
