Delectable Dinner

Here is the dinner that my family had for Easter! Who needs to pay for brunch or a fancy dinner, when you can just make it!


I wanted to share with you guys, even though It's not an official recipe. If you want the actual recipe we used to make the dinner items, just comment below! Thanks!

Mmm Mmm Oreo :)

So I love Oreos just as much as the next person, and when I saw this recipe, I HAD to favorite it. I really hope you guys try it...and love it! It's just perfect for these warm days coming up, and has less calories than every other soda shoppe Oreo milkshake.




Prep time: 5 minutes (...maybe less haha)
Serves: 2


1 cup reduced-fat (1%) milk OR ½ cup fat-free and ½ cup reduced-fat 2% 
(^^1 cup soymilk or almond milk work perfectly fine too, fyi)
3 reduced-fat Oreo cookies 
1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding, dry mix 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sugar 
1½ cups ice cubes 

1. Add all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add a few more ice cubes if the shake isn’t thick enough. 
2. Serve at once! Enjoy :)
