When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.

My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:

Cinnamon + vanilla

Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar

Strawberries/blue berries

Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.

    Raw mushrooms dipped in Hidden Valley are pretty good… I love how they pop lightly when your teeth pass through them. You also can’t go wrong with a peanut butter and banana sandwich…

    I have a copycat recipe for Taco Bells quesadilla sauce that is dirt cheap to make. I’ve probably made 30 liters of it in my lifetime. Smear that on a mini flour tortilla with some Great Value grilled chicken strips (no doubt made with tortured chickens to keep the price low) and a bit of shredded cheese (cheddar and monteray jack) and you’ve got one hell of a tasty quesadilla to fry up.

    Here’s the recipe for the sauce. Let me know if you get around to making it. Would love to know what you think.

    1 cup mayo (I use Helman’s 1/2 fat)

    2 tbsp sugar

    2 tbsp pickled jalapeno juice (from Old El Paso pickled jalapeños)

    2 tsp cumin

    2 tsp paprika

    1/2 tsp garlic powder

    1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

    A dash of salt

    And how ever many diced pickled jalapeños you see fit
