Fruity Pebbles Treats

It has been an exhausting day in our house today. My daughter woke up late last night with the worst cold ever and ended up sleeping in our bed with us all night. Well, I guess I should say she slept...the hubby and I, not so much. That being said I was looking for something yummy and quick to make for the family today. Luckily I had just the thing lined up, Fruity Pebble Treats.

They are super quick and easy and so very yummy! My husband requested them a couple of weeks ago and seeing as they take 10 minutes max, they seemed just perfect for my blog post today.

Fruit Pebble Treats

12 servings

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 package of regular sized marshmallows

5 cups fruity pebbles

In a deep pan melt the butter/margarine on low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring constantly so that it does not burn. Pour in the fruity pebbles and stir until well mixed. Pour the mixture out into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

I chose to drizzle a bit of melted chocolate on top to kind of jazz them up. Put a handful of chocolate chips in a ziploc baggie. Pop it into the microwave on 50% power for 30-45 seconds, keeping a close eye so you don't end up with a huge mess. Remove and cut a small hole into the corner of the baggie, then squeeze the melted chocolate out over top and pop in the fridge until cooled.

Fruit & Nut Granola

I love having granola for breakfast! I remember always wanting to have some granola whenever we had it in the house as a kid, it seemed like the kind of food grown ups ate, sort of like Grape Nuts only way better! The biggest down fall to granola is the really yummy stuff is sort of expensive, especially if it has lots of fruit and nuts, just the way I like it! That's fine though, they can keep their expensive granola because this stuff is so simple to make at home! It takes almost no time and the joys of making it yourself is you know exactly what is going into it and you can customize your ingredients depending on your tastes! Like I said, I love mine with lots of fruit and toasted nuts so I tend to use quite a bit of them in my recipe. Feel free to adjust this to your tastes and try out different ingredients like coconut and various seeds, nuts and fruits. In a medium bowl combine your oats and sunflower seeds. Roughly chop you...

The cookie that has it all: Double Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies!

So I'm not sure how many of you know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate but I might have tossed around words like "God's gift to food" or "the most yummiest thing of all time" in the past. Long story short, if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life you can be assured that peanut butter and chocolate would be main ingredients in my choice. That is why I was so captivated by these cookies I saw posted over on Picky Palate 's page. They have chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels...and they are topped with a tiny bit of sea salt, bringing that whole sweet/salty combo that is out of this world! What more could you possible ask for in one small baked good? Nothing I tell you! Well, almost nothing in my opinion. I am not really a fan of white chocolate so I substituted semi-sweet chips for the ones added in but either way these truly are the cookies that have it all! For this recipe you are going to need some broken pre...

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls...from scratch!

Tuesdays are our lazy days around our house. I don't work until the afternoon and my daughter doesn't have school, so it is kind of the day that we sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and get a few things done around the house. This Tuesday, I decided to make it extra special and make homemade cinnamon rolls...from scratch! I don't think there is any better breakfast than a delicious hot from the oven cinnamon roll that you made with your very own hands. Plus, I had some leftover cream cheese frosting that tasted just like Cinnabon's frosting...so yeah, basically best breakfast EVER! lol Our ingredients... Add your milk, oil, and sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until just below boiling. Sprinkle on the yeast and allow to sit for a minute. Stir in the 4 cups of flour.
