Summertime Fruit Salad with Frozen Pudding Bites

 

I am always wanting a nice, refreshing, and light summertime treat. I love pudding, ice cream, and other frozen treats and fruit.  So I thought...why not combine them?!?

You will need a box of strawberry creme pudding, a silicone mold, almond milk (you can use regular milk, I just wanted low calorie), and your choice of fruit.

Recipe: Mix pudding with 1 to 1 1/2 cup almond milk (if you are using regular milk follow the boxes directions).  I have read online that almond milk makes REALLY thick pudding so to half it.  I wanted mine a little thinner so I just kept adding almond milk til I got to the consistency that I wanted.  

Put your pudding into a mold.  The mold I used is from Wholeport.  The cubes are about an inch square. 

Freeze until solid.

Cut up the fruit you want.  I used mangos, strawberries, red grapes, and an apple.

Pop the pudding pieces out of the mold and mix with your fruit.  Let the pudding sit for a couple minutes to let them soften and ENJOY!

Let me know how you like the recipe...Thanks for following along!

Custom Pillow With Baby Clothing, blanket, and Burp Rags

I had the nicest lady contact me about make a pillow for her using her sons old burp cloths and clothing.  I hadn't ever made a pillow using baby clothing before but I was excited for the challenge. 

She gave me the dimensions of the pillow she wanted to cover and I went to work.  I made it rag style (surprised? Probably not. lol) and reversible because she had so many different cute prints. 

For your own custom throw size pillow made from your baby's stuff she no longer needs you go visit my etsy shop

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Rice Krispies

I always seem to need a quick treat.  Whether its for a family get together, after school special treat, or I have a sweet tooth coming on.  I don't have time to wait around for cookies to bake!

So the other day my girls REALLY wanted a treat.  I was in a hurry to do whatever I was trying to get done that day, but wanted to make them a treat too.  So this is what we came up with.  Rice krispy treats are always a family favorite and a quickie, but I really didn't want those.  So I started to melt the marshmallows like usual and then decided to change it up a bit.  Here is what I did.

Chocolate Marshmallow and Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats:

6 cups rice krispys
1 bag mini marshmallows (you can use the larger but the minis seem to melt lots better)
1/2 bag chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter (you can omit this if you want)


Melt the marshmallows, chocolate chips and peanut butter together.  I melted the marshmallows a little bit before I added the chocolate chips so they wouldn't burn.  Then stir in the rice krispy's .  Easy peasy and it only took me 5 minutes.  The girls were happy and so was I!

Yum, Yum!
