$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.

$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

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...

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better. I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...
