Once I ran into an acquaintance while grocery shopping for an upcoming holiday. A package of lemon oreos was in my mix of items and she gasped in shock. “You buy oreos?! I would think you would make homemade!”
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am all about a crazy idea.. or 2.. okay, definitely not more than 3… a week. But being fanatical about anything is dangerous in my opinion. Do I love to make every little thing from scratch? Yes! Do I? Okay, most of the time, I do. Probably a lot more than most busy moms. But it’s also my passion and a hobby. But by golly if it’s a special occasion I am going to make a fun dessert my kids love that, yes, has store bought oreos. And that’s okay. You know what we’re having for Easter dinner? A simple brunch. Frosted Flakes french toast to be exact!
And this might make an appearance too. Because amid all the hand made pies and whatnot on holidays this is the one everyone wants seconds of, little and big kids alike!
And bonus, it is no bake and can be made using one bowl! Woot woot!
