$10 Tuesday | Mexican Pinwheels

Its holiday season and that means all the treats!




Sometimes potluck style foods can add up quick so I want to share with you one of my simple, easy and affordable snack food that you can take to your next party.

Mexican Style Pinwheels.
I honestly don't remember where I first saw these, but over time I've added my own spin, flare and adjustments.


Ingredients:
Flour tortillas : .89 cents x 2 = 1.78
Canned Chicken: .98 x3 = 2.94
Taco Seasoning: .23 cents
Cream Cheese: 1.89
Shredded Cheese: $1.99
Optional:
Hot Sauce: .89 cents
Rotel tomato & green chilies: .98 cents

Total cost: $9.72

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a big bowl! I prefer the hot sauce over Rotel just because its smoother and doesn't make the tortillas soggy. If you do use the tomato and green chilies, be sure and drain the juice as much as possible!
I also love to use my mixer to stir it all together it makes the chicken super fine and the cream cheese blend in smoothly.
Add the hot sauce to YOUR liking. I like a good in-between so I never have an actual measurement for this. I just sample the mixture a lot.
Once its mixed, use a soft spatula to spread across tortillas. You need a thin layer covering one side. Then you roll it up and cut it in to circular chunks.


You can make pinwheels in various flavors but this is definitely my favorite! They go fast at get togethers.

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...

You know my goal is $10 or less, What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP! Friends, get on my level.  That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals! Overnight Oats & Eggs Super simple, super easy, budget win. x Now let's break it down. Oatmeal -- $2.29 Blueberries -- $2.29 Almond Milk -- $1.99 Eggs -- .88 Mushrooms -- 1.89 ________________________ Total spent = $6.57 But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all. One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess. Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16 Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57 Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28 Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15 Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38 __________________________ Total for one meal = $1.54 Mind.Blow...

Tennesse Weekend Getaway | Review

If you know me, you know I LOVE travel and adventures. I love exploring new places and experiencing it with people I love. Quality time, its my love language! This weekend filled ALL the cups! It was our annual Diamond Retreat. This is something my best friend and I host for our team of badass women. They could earn it by growing their business, facing their fears and helping others. I mean, who has a job that when you show up to be your best self you get treated to a better business, vacations, travel and friends?!? MEEEE and its why I love it! Last year we hit up Florida and this year we knew we wanted to have a more quiet, secluded trip where we could just have our space to hustle, grow and relax. So Tennessee it was. Ill admit, Kyra and I spent MONTHS looking for the perfect place. We hit up Airbnb & VRBO to try and find a place that fit our wants. Big enough to house everyone, cute enough to throw a party & perfect for what we envisioned. We've had a few Airbnb fl...
