Strawreo Pie

Matt came up with the word STRAWREO–it’s strawberry and oreo together, magic on a plate. We walked into the grocery, picked out a crust (I was too tired to make one), and grabbed a few other ingredients. Here’s what happened:

strawreo pie 
)aka strawberry speckled savoriness(

1 oreo pie crust (or graham cracker, if you wish)
1 3/4  + 1/4 cup skim milk (or dairy free variety)
1 regular size package of strawberry pudding mix
10 strawberries, rinsed, tops off
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Dash cinnamon

step one: in a plastic container with a lid, pour 1 3/4 cups milk and pudding mix. Cover and shake for 30 seconds. set aside.

step two: slice strawberries in half, lengthwise, so they look like little hearts. layer oreo crust with half of strawberries.

step three: in a small saucepan on medium-high heat, mix together 1/4 cup milk, chocolate chips and cinnamon. keep stirring until completely melted. set aside, off of the burner.

step four: check on pudding in container. if it’s firm, use a spoon and pour into oreo crust.

step five: then, take the melted chocolate and drizzle on top of the pudding. splatter it, make designs, or whatever you like. layer with the rest of the strawberry halves.

step six: chill pie in freezer for 45 minutes, then eat, eat, eat.

There’s my ode to my favorite character as a kid…

Well, it’s officially Sunday…pie day! Relax, enjoy, and spend time with your favorite people (and critters)!

Mom’s Banana Pudding

The most underrated cook in my family is my mom. Here’s a good one made with bananas, the perfect fruit.



MOM’S BANANA PUDDING

8 ounces low fat cream cheese
1 can Eagle brand milk
1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix (large)
3 cups of milk
1 large container of low fat Cool Whip
6-8 bananas, sliced in bite-sized circles
1 box vanilla wafers
Large bowl or 8X12 pan

Mix cream cheese with Eagle brand milk.
Add vanilla  pudding mix.
Blend in 3 cups milk, then fold in cool whip.
Layer cookies, banana slices, and pudding mixture repeatedly.
Refrigerate for several hours (or freeze for 20 minutes, if you’re impatient like me!), until pudding is set.
