Winner Winner Chicken Dinner and Saw It. Pinned It. Did It.

I'm writing this post on Wednesday as a couple of people from my office bought somewhere close to 70 Powerball tickets and one of them is surely a winner.


As you are reading this I'm probably somewhere posing with my extra-large check, looking nothing short of crazy, and mentally spending every single dime of my earnings.

My favorite Indian Princess, Ty Ty, posted this post and I thought it was the best of ideas. So here are a few ideas of how I'll be spending my dollas.

1. I'll find someone to manage my money. Just a bit.
2. Pay off any debt that I have - like my car. My parents are debt free, but I'd give them a couple grand to travel the world and give them a little cushion. 
3. I'd buy a whole new wardrobe. Pamper myself a little.
4. I'd buy my favorite family that I serve in an area of poverty a new house, give them the ability to buy groceries and clothes for the next year, and take the kids to Disney World.
5.  I'd give my church 15%. 
6. I'd take my high school girls that I lead to Disney World. (I really like Disney) and then I'd take them for a weekend retreat.
7. I already give money to a scholarship fund once a year, but I'd give enough money that the scholarship could go on for years and years.
8. I'd buy a horse farm in Kentucky, and maybe even a Derby horse. I'd buy a house in South Florida and a condo in Vail. I like to water ski and snow ski. And a houseboat for the summers on the lake.
9. I'd take my girlfriends on a trip around the world. To show them all my favorite places that I saw on all my trips.
10. I'd pay a chef to take care of me and my weird eating habits. I like veggies, Mexican and sweets. Should be easy, but I definitely hate to cook or bake. 

That being said, I definitely love an easy recipe. This summer, I saw this pin with this recipe that just seemed to speak to me. But I decided to put my own twist on things. I love pumpkin and this is the perfect time of year!! You can find Pumpkin Pudding Mix at your local grocer. 


Start with Pudding Mix, Cool Whip and some graham sticks - I prefer the Scooby Doo brand. Don't judge me.


Mix the pudding pudding up as usual.



I prefer a whisk to get things mixed up just right.


Scoop in the cool whip and mix til your heart is content.


It even looks festive. You can even crumble up some graham crackers for topping! Delicious and easy. I used sugar free cool whip, and you can use sugar free pudding mix too.

What did you make this week????
