Chocolate Coconut Pudding Pie Shots: Homemade with a Kick!

Chocolate Coconut Pudding Pie Shots: Homemade with a Kick!

Yummy for summer time cook-outs, camping, or the family get together BUT this version is for the grown-ups only:)

The above I made in handy dandy single serving "shot" portions.... however, I thought I'd whip up a "share" portion as well, and instead of using the oh so convenient plastic cups, I got fancy with small glass custard cups! As shown below....

Super yummy and easy peasy!

 I started with a simple (but sweet) graham cracker crust.
Combine:
- one stick of butter melted
- one sleeve of crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup of sugar in the raw
Layer the bottom of each cup with the crust.

The "pie filling" is as follows:
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup coconut vodka, I like Pinnacle
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream

- about 5oz/3/4 container Cool Whip

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and beat with mixer until well combined.

Pour over graham cracker crust and freeze for at least a couple of hours. Top with whip cream and serve!

In my head I have a million other "pie shot" ideas! I'll share as I explore!

Make your own Sugar Scrub!!!!

Easy peasy, DIY sugar body scrub!
Honestly it does not get any easier than this and it's inexpensive to boot.

Two easy to find ingredients and a cute little jar, clearly I'm partial to and have a bunch of mason jars, and your ready to scrub.

Ingredients:
-Sugar In the Raw
-Palmers Moisturizing Body Oil
*Combine in a small mason jar, mix, and enjoy!

I keep this in the bath and use it 2-3 times a week. It gets rid of dead skin and particles and leaves my skin soft.

The Giving Tree....

One of our most favorite things to do is to hike with the furry one. We are lucky enough to have a beautiful apple orchard near our home with trails that circle two reservoirs. A gorgeous hike.

This past weekend with the lovely weather we've had, we were able to hike several times. It's that time of year at the orchard when the volunteers collect fallen branches to discard and there were many on the ground. Knowing we'd be having a campfire and we always make s'mores we decided to collect fallen branches to use as roasting sticks..... they were perfect! Nice and straight and easy to clean, and it reminded me of one of my favorite childhood stories The Giving Tree. The kids got a little tickle out of that as well.

 

We all really enjoyed the campfire and delicious s'mores!

Oh the Things I Put in my LunchBots.....

I try my best to be as Eco-friendly as possible. The boy and the littles are wonderful at cleaning and separating recyclables, and we use reusable snack and sandwich bags when packing lunches. A couple of years ago I purchased a stainless steel container at a Whole Foods Market for packing salad lunches. I was hooked and went on the hunt for more.



I did not find the same as previously purchased but I did find LunchBots. A company committed to making food safe, Eco-friendly containers. Made from stainless steel their containers are durable and come in array of sizes and colors. The rectangles are great for snacks or sandwiches but my favorite are the rounds, perfect for fruit, salsa, or salad. A few of my favorites! Easy to carry and clean the best containers for your lunch.

So go, be green and share what you fill your LunchBots with!
