Make Me Smile Monday--Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies

Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all! We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen. Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun. The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

Make Me Smile Monday--Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies

Yum...Melt in your mouth...Oh so good....

Okay friends...let me say that I am not a big sweet eater (I'm one of those gals that rather have fried chicken, mustard greens and corn bread) HOWEVER these little MINI PIES I do ~~like~~ love.

Recipe and tutorial for you...

Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies:
Ingredients:

Pie Crust--I got the rolled crust (2 per pack)

Oreo cookies

Peanut Butter

Melted butter or margarine

Okay we are talking about 4 ingredients: Pie crust, Oreo cookies, Peanut butter and Butter! COME ON NOW....Could this be any easier?

I wanted to make mini bites so used my mini muffin pan. Spray well with Pam.

I used my little biscuit cutter but you can use the mouth of a glass as well. This biscuit cutter is a 2 inch round.

Lay your dough out on the counter or large cutting board and cut with your biscuit cutter. Lay cut dough in your pan. I found that this size cutter makes a perfect little pie shape size for the mini muffin pan.

Take some Oreo cookies and toss in a zip lock bag. Sorry, I didn't count them but if you don't have enough you can add more. I used a potato masher to crush my cookies with but you can use whatever you have that works for you such as bottom of heavy glass or etc.
Sprinkle cookie mixture onto the dough.

A closer look....(I made two batches) Next batch I make I will crush the cookies a little finer but still have some chunks.

Next take a teaspoon and just dollop out some peanut butter and place on top of Oreo cookies.

Well maybe I used more than just a dollop. LOL!

Take remaining dough and cut into strips.Now If I had of had the time I would have cut into thinner strips and made it look more like a lattice look...but I didn't! Lay your strips over the peanut butter and pinch the ends to the pie.

Melt some butter in microwave and brush butter over your mini pies.

Bake in preheated oven on 350 for about 15 minutes.

Let cool for a few minutes and get ready.......THEY ARE SO GOOD!

Nothing like having your very own mini pie! Ya can't go wrong with cookies and peanut butter... RIGHT?

I placed some in the frig and when I wanted one I just simply zapped it in microwave for about 30-45 seconds and WA-LA! Good cold too! I love the little bit of chocolate with peanut butter but the flakiness of the pie part is what makes it too me.

Give them a try....BET YOU CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me! Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower. Sunflowers Track The Sun. Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord. Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23. Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together. We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise. We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together. I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
