Chocolate Chip Pudding & Brownie Trifle

This recipe was something I thought I had thought up all by myself. Until I "googled" it. And found that it really is a thing. But it's so easy I wanted to share it anyway!

This is such an easy and pretty dessert for Valentine's Day! You could switch out the flavors to make a combination like brownies and peanut butter cookies.

1 Large tub of cool whip, cookies, brownies and pudding.

This is basically all you need! I originally got this idea because someone had blessed me with a lot of cookie and brownie mixes that they had bought but weren't going to use. I wanted a way to use them up quickly. I don't need all these carbs! We had a fellow church goer pass away and we took food to them. So I made this trifle in a plastic bowl rather than a trifle bowl.

Gather all your ingredients together. I made chocolate chip cookies, and dark chocolate brownies. The pudding is just 2 large boxes and 1 small box of original instant chocolate. I did not put the full amount of milk in so it would be thicker. I also folded in about 1 cup of the cool whip into the pudding before layering. I didn't get a picture of that.

Then start layering!

Just keep going until you get this!

This needs to sit overnight so the brownies and cookies can kind of mush into the pudding a little bit.

Since having dropped this off at the family's house, I have received SO many comments about it. They said the bowl was scraped clean and that people were raving about it! I found this almost humorous, because it is so easy!

If you try it, let me know what flavor combinations you try!

Hope you enjoy it and that you have a Happy Valentine's Day!

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id...

$5 Laundry "Room" Update

I don't have a laundry room. I have a laundry closet right off the kitchen. I actually love it there because it is so convenient to keep laundry going through out the day. I wish it was a little bigger and I have future plans down the road, but for now I have to keep it organized or there is just not enough room for it all! Here was the state of my closet before. Not too bad, but there were things in there that shouldn't be in there (a sprinkler??) and it just was cluttered. Not to mention plain and boring. I think I've mentioned before on here how much I love Dollar Tree. If not, I'll say it now. I love Dollar Tree! They have some of the cutest stuff! So I went there today to find some things to organize this with. Here's what I came up with. I bought the 3 aqua colored baskets today and the green and gray tray I was already using. I wiped everything down and got to work. This is what it looks like now. The two hanging ...

Mixes to DIY to Save Time, Money and Eat Better

Lately, I have been wanting to start making more things from scratch. It saves a little bit of money and it's so much better for you. So I figured I would start simple and try homemade pancake mix and homemade instant oatmeal packets. We eat both of these quite a bit, and I'm starting to not like any store bought pancake mix and making from scratch all the time is starting to get annoying! Here is the instant oatmeal recipe I used. The only thing about this recipe that I might change next time is that 1/2 cup of mix per bag is a little too much oatmeal in one sitting for me. My husband likes it. But next time, I might only put 1/4 cup mix in each bag. We are reusing the bags since the same thing is going to go right back in them again. I use 2/3 cup water for each bag. Here is the pancake mix I used. And I will have to say, I haven't used this recipe yet since I've made it, but it was a simple recipe. What other items would ...
