Saturday Stirrings - Easy, CHEAP Strawberry Yumminess
Another great edition of Kelli's Cheap Frugal Ideas!
Summertime means no cooking. NO! COOKING! NO! HEAT!
To preserve the needed funds to maintain our house temperature at a cool 70 degrees, we eat more cheaply cheaper more efficiently in the summer.
Priorities people. Priorities
This is a snack/dessert that John created right after we were married, and we lived on it for a few years.
Simple. Cheap. Cool.
My kindof recipe.
Strawberry Fluffy Yumminess
1 container Cool Whip
(any knid)
1 large Strawberry Yogurt
(any brand)
Strawberries, if desired
(Fresh is better if in season. If frozen, that completely. If you put them in frozen, it will make this runny and watery as they thaw. And that is just gross)
Mix the Cool Whip and the Yogurt in a large bowl. Fold in strawberries, if using.
Eat from bowl with spoon, sharing only if necessary.
**For dessert- throw it all in a pre-made graham cracker pie shell.
Two! Two! Two recipes in one!

Oh, my lands... I made a pie kind of similar to this, but it took a whole lot more time and effort. I'm definitely stealing this idea for next time!

LOL! I plan to try this, especially if the weather ever cooperates!

Oooh, I like the sounds of this one! Any recipe that can be done without turning up the heat in the summertime has my vote!

This sounds very sweet and refreshing. I love the idea of turning it into a pie. I've never put yogurt in a pie before.
