Snacks for the kiddos

Banana Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches 

So I attempted to make these a few minutes ago and not sure how succsessful they turned out.  Although they were very delicious they looked a little sloppy.  The marshmallow fluff caused the banana slice to keep sliding off :(  I think that if you want to make these toothpicks would come in handy to keep them together until they start to freeze.  I of course had no toothpicks so I was SOL.  

These are pretty easy to make basically slice a banana into half inch pieces put peabut butter on one slice and marshmallow fluff on another slice put them together like a sandwich and freeze them.  I would insert the toothpick to hold them together until they start to freeze but other then that quick and easy and very tasty.

Pretzel turtles!

Sweet salty and simply delicious 

Okay so I know these are super easy but I love them and happened to be craving them today so I figured why not go ahead and blog it. Simple pretzel pieces I used the little square ones, a package of Rolo's and pecan halves.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

So I placed the pretzel pieces on a nonstick cookie sheet I have heard you should line it with parchment paper but I didn't have any so I just cowboyed it and placed them right on the cookie sheet. After that I unwrapped a bunch of rolo pieces centering them on the pretzel pieces.

I placed them in the oven for 3 min. The Rolo's get all shiny but hold there shape. You don't want to leave them in to long because they will make a melty mess. I know because it happened to me the first time I made them.

Remove from oven and quickly but gently sit the pecan halves and the rolo. I don't push them down until I have the pecans on the entire batch which helps with them not oozing all over the place. Then I very gentle lightly push down. Some may already have settled down from the weight of the pecan.

Then just let them cool. I have been sticking the cookie sheet right into the freezer. It only takes a few minutes about 10-15 and they are all ready to eat!

Pretzel pieces, pecan halves, and Rolo's!

About moi!

Hey fellow food savages! I am really excited to be starting my first ever blog! We shall see how it goes, hopefully well... Crossing my fingers ;)  I guess I should tell you about myself, well I am 26 and a stay at home mom of 3.  I absolutely love to cook and do crafty things.  I have been addicted to Pinterest ever since a friend got me started with it.  I spend hours drooling over pins of decadent chocolate creations and savory dinner dishes.  I plan out what I am going to try and make tweaks to improve these recipes.  My partner is pescetarian and very health conscious so trying to figure out meat free dishes can be challenging for me sometimes.  I love the added flavor meat can bring to a dish but *sigh* I am trying to find ways to add flavor without the meat.  My favorite thing to make is usually wonderful desserts due to my insanely out of control sweet tooth though so be prepared for some awesome sweet treats.  I plan for this blog to follow me as I cook for my family, and try new recipes.   I also plan to have a kids corner section with kid friendly meals and activities.  Hopefully you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.  Xoxo your fellow savage
