Yogurt with m&m's

Yogurt with m&m's.

I'm writing this post super late because i've been super busy and just didn't have the time.

I had to think of simple things that I could make easily as well as cheap on my budget because I just started working and it's the holidays so i've been practically working everyday. Plus, Aaron had to go back home and I just didn't want to make big meals for one person.
Now while I was working at Target, I saw those individual cups of yogurt with m&m toppings and thought to myself, I could make those for way cheaper.

Also, on cartwheel, they had those greek gods yogurt for 20% off as well as with my employee discount made it easier for me to go get the yogurt and m&m's.

Now it's it was the holidays so I had to get the red and green m&m's and some greek gods yogurt. I chose the honey and vanilla flavor because it was the only flavor available other than honey. 

I forgot to take a pic of the bag of m&m's but the way I crushed them was to put the m&m's into a ziploc bag, and with the back of the knife (the blunt edge of the knife), started "hammering" away.

I like to try to crush each m&m into fourths so it's a bit smaller but you can crush them into however small/big you want! Then you just want to sprinkle them over the yogurt. I know simple but I can't believe I've never done this myself before.

I like to eat in small servings and it's very satisfying and filling. I have a huge sweet tooth so this is my all time favorite snack as of now and it's festive!

I also found out it if you leave the m&m's in the yogurt a bit longer and wait before you eat it, the hard shell coating will dissolve and it'll be like little chocolate chips in your yogurt!

I figure you could also do this with the oreos with the red filling! Or the green mint fillings but I don't like mint. I would only suggest with the oreos, you eat them a bit faster because the cookie part of the oreo might get soggy :/

I hope you enjoyed and try this because this is an amazing treat! Also it's way easier on my budget and so simple and for me, and I believe this one jar will last around 1 week if you eat it everyday. :)

Thank you so much for reading! 

Honey Roasted Potatoes Recipe!

So me and Aaron have decided to start this crazy new diet where we only eat fruit and vegetables mon-thurs and fri-sun is when we can eat meat.
Obviously there are some exceptions to mon-thurs because we can't completely survive on vegetables and fruit. Our other options are bread, eggs, beans, cereal, etc.
So I don't really like beans which I think is one of the main replacements for meat in vegetarian dishes so I went with potatoes! ^^

I made these honey roasted potatoes and they are so amazing.. I love sweet things so this was pretty much the best thing ever and it's so simple to make with ingredients you most likely have already in your house.

What you'll need:
-potatoes
-salt
-pepper
-honey
-cooking oil/spray
-bowl
-foil
-oven (lol)

First you want to preheat the oven to 375 F

Now I used the small red potatoes because I saw them at target and I prefer them over the big brown potatoes but I'm pretty sure whichever you get will be fine..

I cut them into bite size pieces and dunked them in water. I'm not really sure why but when I used to work at a restaurant, the kitchen would tell me that when cutting potatoes, you should dunk them in a bowl of water to wash off the starch of something..? 

Afterwards, I tried them off because I feel like the mixture sticks better to the potatoes when dry.

Everything is to taste so I'm sorry that there are no exact measures...

I added some salt and pepper to cover all the top of the potatoes evenly. Then with the honey I just kept going in circles and tried to cover them evenly. Then with a gloved hand, I mixed everything together so the potatoes are covered completely with the mixture. 

**You want to put more pepper for a spicier kick and more honey for more sweetness. I don't like to add too much salt but this is totally up to you. 

On a metal tray, you want to wrap it with foil and spray some cooking oil/spray onto it. Then spread the potatoes out evenly.

When the oven is done preheating, you want to put it in for 15 min and then take it out and flip them over and put it in for another 15 min. I put them in for 16 min each time because some didn't fully cook all the way through so you might have to adjust the timing. 

The honey seemed to caramelize and the pepper added a slight kick so it was sweet and spicy. It's soooo good.

I plan on making a video today where I make a different style of potatoes and we'll see how it goes because it will be my first time making it and Aaron (my boyfriend) will be test tasting them! >:)

Easy Curled Hair As Easy As 1-2-3!

Being the lazy being that I am and only doing some quick shopping, I decided to curl my hair. I'm actually not even a girly girl but I love how curls look. I also hate taking forever and I have a lot of hair. (Not thick hair) So I don't know if anyone else has this problem but if i keep messing with my hair my scalp produces more oil and then my hair starts to look flat... nasty I know so I try to do as minimal things to my head/hair as possible.
Now first you have your hair and you can brush through it or not but I didn't. (1)
You then split your hair into 2 like pigtails. (2)
Then you split each pigtail into 3 and curl! I tied one pigtail while loosening the other before splitting into 3. (3)
As easy as 1-2-3 ;)

Before :)

As you can see my hair is sort of normally wavy. It isn't stick straight. So this might work better on my hair since it is so easy to curl. I had the heat on at 330 degrees and just quickly curled my hair. I used a straighter as well so it would turn out more wavy. Throughout the day it did loosen up a little bit because I don't like to use hair spray and looked effortless. It saved so much time and was so simple!

Easy Fried Rice

Aaron's moving out in a week so we've been packing up his stuff to leave at my house and that means packing up pots and pans and containers and etc. We've been lazy so not all the kitchen stuff has been packed and we've been trying to cook more so we can eat more healthy. Now fried rice isn't exactly the HEALTHIEST meal but we've kept it pretty simple. I didn't take pictures of our steps but i've taken pictures of the end result! :)

We used the Uncle Ben's whole grain boil-in-a-bag rice. We had it for awhile and decided to cook it and get it out of the way so we wouldn't have to pack it. It's very interesting. It comes in 4 small packs of rice with tiny holes in them and you just cook it in a pot of water. We cooked all 4 but only ended up using 3. We got one bunch of asparagus from walmart, canned corn, and some already cooked sausage.

Cook some cut up onions in olive oil. Then add the mixture of asparagus, canned corn and cooked sausage and cook that for awhile. We forgot that you should probably boil the asparagus and then cook them because they have a very "planty" taste. Also, cooking them in the oil for such a short period of time will not cook it thoroughly and it will still be a bit hard. Then add the rice. We added no salt and no pepper. The ratio mixture of asapargus, canned corn, sausage and onions to rice should be around 1:1.

Our fried rice! :) It was so delicious! The salt of the sausage was a a nice addition to the fried rice!

On a side note, while at walmart, we found these blue raspberry twinkies!! My boyfriend said he pooped blue-ish greenish poop so have fun! hehe ;)
