No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle Bars by Tiffany

I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I’ve had concocting recipes with Eggo waffles this week.

When I was loading up on Eggo waffles, to start developing recipes,  I came across Eggo Wafflers, Strawberry Strudel flavor - I knew right away what I was going to do. The image of these bars just popped in my head. I literally saw them in my mind and knew I just HAD to make them.

Eggo Week Of Waffles, No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle Bars, Dessert Recipes, Eggo Chief Waffle Officer,Money Saving Recipe Gone are the days when waffles were served only for breakfast. Here’s a spectacular dessert that will be sure to turn heads and bring smiles. Plus, from start to finish they only took 30 minutes to make. Between a layer of strawberry strudel wafflers you will find a no bake cream cheese filling with fresh sliced strawberries, dunked in chocolate and then rolled in nuts.  Mmmm!

Yields 8 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 box (10.7) Eggo Wafflers Strawberry Strudel
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temp.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh whipped cream – Recipe below
  • Approx. 8 strawberries from a one pound package, washed, hulled and sliced
  • 1 bag (11.5 oz)  milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts – walnuts, pecans or chopped/sliced/slivered almonds

Fresh Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Toast wafflers per package directions. Remove from toaster and set wafflers on a cooling rack. Set aside. Do not let them cool on a plate, because condensation may occur on the bottom of wafflers.
  2. Let’s make the fresh whipped cream. In a standing mixer combine whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar, beat until stiff. Spoon out whipped cream into a separate bowl, set aside. No need to wash out mixing bowl.
  3. Now let’s make the cheesecake filling. In your standing mixer combine cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup whipped cream; beat until smooth. Place bowl in the fridgerator until ready to use.
  4. In a double boiler, melt milk chocolate. Once chocolate is melted turn off heat.
  5. Line a medium to large baking sheet with a piece of waxed paper. Set aside.
  6. Let’s assemble these babies, shall we?! Gently cut or separate wafflers. Spread cheesecake mixture on the inside of each waffler. Now lay a layer of strawberries down the center. Put the second waffler on top to make a sandwich. Dip one end of the bar in melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts. Lay bars on waxed paper lined baking sheet. Refridgerate bars until chocolate sets or ready to serve.

*****NOTES*****

You will have approx. 3 tablespoons of melted chocolate left over and approx. 1 cup of the cheesecake filling.  Since you only use approx. 8 strawberries from a one pound package for this recipe, we just used  up the remainder strawberries by dipping our left over berries in the chocolate and cheesecake filling. Mmmm!

Day 2 ~ Smore Waffles Please by Tiffany

Who doesn’t love smores?!

I seriously can’t wait for the weather to warm up. I so enjoy firing up our pit just so we can sit around, fellowship and toast marshmallows. Of course we invite the Grahams and our dear friend, Hershey, joins the party too! Only this time, we weren’t outside around our pit and Grahams didn’t show up. Eggo chocolate Chip waffles took Grahams place instead and to my surprise I was  actually very pleased!

My kids have cheered me on and inspired me this whole week with idea recipes that they would like to see come into play using Eggo waffles. They’ve just been down right adorable with some of the ideas they’ve come up with. It makes this momma beam knowing they support my love for concocting recipes.

Eggo Breakfast Kebabs by Tiffany

I’m all about trying to make breakfast fun for my kiddos or visitor’s kiddos when we have them, as well as the adults in our life. These made a pretty presentation and very easy to assemble. The kids and adults both got a kick out of eating their breakfast off a skewer, perfect for those little fingers in your life too.

Easter Cupcake Ideas

If you are looking for a last minute dessert idea for Easter here are a couple quick and easy ideas.  Both are kid friendly as well.

The first one is Carrot Cupcakes made out of M&M’s. All you need is to frost  your cupcakes (we decided to make green frosting to make it look like grass).  You need 6 orange M&M’s, 3 in the first row, 2 in the next, and one of the bottom.  2 green M&M’s for the top to look like the green top of a carrot … simple as that you have some very cute cupcakes.

 The Next idea takes a little more time but are super cute as well Easter Basket Cupcakes.

First frost the cupcakes with green frosting, add some green coconut flakes to the top ( to make the coconut green add some to a bag, add a few drops of green food coloring shake well… and you have green coconut)

Add a few jelly beans, gummy Easter shapes and a mini chocolate bunny.  Take a Twizzler pull and peel to create a handle.

If you want your deviled eggs to be the star of the party this weekend how about making them into these cute little Easter Chicks.  They are rather simple to make and “cheep” too.  This week you can pick up eggs at Walgreens for $1 a dozen and many stores have them even less than that.  SO are you ready to get started?

You will need (whole project takes about 45 minutes)

  • 3 Quart Cooking Pot with lid
  • zip lock bag or pipping bag
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Mayo
  • 3-4 Tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1 baby carrot
  • 1 pickle
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh Spinach cut into shreds (to look like grass)

I have found the best way to make boiled eggs is to put 12 in the bottom of a 3 quart pan.  Cover with water (have the water about 1 inch over the eggs).  With the lid off bring the eggs to a boil once they have reached a FULL rolling boil, let them boil for 2 minutes.  Turn the heat off, put the lid on and let them stand for 15 minutes.  Once 15 minutes has passed take them out and put them in an ice bath cooling them, so you can then peel them.

Once you have all 12 eggs peeled, cut a SMALL section off the wide end, this will create a flat surface so the eggs can stand up and not roll on the plate.  On the narrow end cut a wider section off that will become the chicks hat (about 1/3 of the egg)

Carefully pop the yolks out into a bowl.  Depending on where the yolk was in the egg, part of it may be in the hat portion.  If you need to cut the yolk up a bit so the egg does not break apart.

Use a fork to smash the yolks into small pieces.  If you do not get them small enough your middles will be rather lumpy… so get it as small as you can.

Once you have the yolks broken up add 1/3 cup mayo, 3 tablespoons pickle juice, add salt and pepper to taste.  If you find your mixture is still to thick you can thin it down with more pickle juice.  Mix well and place in a ziplock bag or a pipping bag that you would normally use from frosting.

To make the Chicks eyes cut a small pickle length wise , into 4 thin strips.  Then cut those thin strips into even smaller section to create a little eye.  Do the same thing to a baby carrot, but cut the 4 thin strips into a triangle shape for the chicks beak.

Cut the corner off the end of your zip lock back with a pair of scissors, and fill each egg.  Place the top of the egg back on at an angle so you can see the chicks face.  Add the eyes and beak and you are done.  I  shredded some spinach to create the look of grass, and simple as that you have created some very cute little chicks.    You almost feel guilty when you bite their little heads off…lol.

Hope you enjoy this simple money saving recipe!

I first saw this idea on Pops And Podge

how to make homemade taco bowlsThanks to my Friend Donna for passing this info along.

Sometimes saving money means making it yourself. So here is how I make homemade Taco bowl’s . They are so inexpensive and my family loves them. Make tortilla recipe. Here is mine……. 2 cup’s flour, 2 tablespoons shortening,1 tablespoon baking powder,1/2 teaspoon salt., and water enough to make nice soft dough, knead 10 times .

Roll out enough dough to cover the can and go down the sides about an inch Take any clean empty can. I use large cans if I am doing a meal or tuna cans for smaller ones and the back of a cupcake tin works great for small ones.

Turn over on the flat( the bottom) side. Cover with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Place dough on can. This forms your bowl.

Spray again with cooking spray. Bake in pre heated 400* oven for 10 min.

Watch them because they brown fast.

Take out cool and fill with your favorite fillings I use beans ,taco meat, salad, and cheese. top with salsa. Happy cooking and happy saving to you.
