Today’s post is a clean out the pantry/fridge post.
First, I’ve been participating in project: Food Budget.
I had a rough start – I blame Whole Foods, but I’ve been under budget the last two weeks!
My goal is always $100 – this week we came in at $97.30. The only problem was that I didn’t include a recipe for today’s blog.
I was not going to spoil my budgeting with an extra trip to the market, so I went shopping in my kitchen.
First up – Funfetti cake mix left over from the Birthday Cake Rice-Krispy treats.
Then, I found an extra carton of vanilla yogurt – left over from the frozen strawberry cheesecake pops. Finally, I got the leftover chocolate dough from my homemade Oreo cookies.
Put them all together and you have one delicious treat.
Birthday Cake Frozen Yogurt Sandwiches:
1 container of vanilla yogurt – 16 ounces
1/4 cup of cake mix (we used funfetti – super cute)
chocolate cookie dough (recipe here)
Bake cookies (cut larger than the Oreo) for 10 minutes at 350.
Allow to cool completely
Mix 1/4 cup of cake mix into the yogurt (make sure you blend this very well)
Freeze
Place two scoops on one cookie (one scoop if smaller cookies) I made BIG cookies 
Top with another cookie
Voila ~ice cream frozen yogurt sandwiches
Enjoy!
About Heather @French Press
I dream of spending less than $100 a week on groceries!!! I’m lucky if it’s under $200! Tell me your secrets!
funny ~ I shop with a VERY detailed list, and try to get at least one meal that does double duty. Trader Joe’s helps a lot – they have great prices, and if we don’t have it – I am no longer making “side” trips – we do without. Those little trips add up to $$
I need this for my friend. He’s courting and we need some unique way to give as a gift. This homemade heart shape cake will do the trick. That Oreo cookies cake is such a time saver.
So tempting with less guilt in calories.Yogurt is an healthy alternative.
What a great way to use on-hand ingredients to stay under budget and save a trip!
yum, so have to try that!
