Happy Friday! For all of your hard work, here are some top frugalicious desserts
from blogger Squawkfox. What I like about this list is that a) she includes chocolate b) the desserts are healthy c) it’s affordable.
Also, here is a recipe for Snickerdoodles from the Living on a Dime blog.
I learned to make snickerdoodles in a baking class I took in 5th grade, and they are tre yummy. It’s nice to know that the cookies make the affordable edible cut. I was ahead of the curve! 
When I’m at a restaurant, I share dessert with my dining partners. Dessert sharing is more about keeping the waistline in check, not the budget. It’s all gravy if my budgets benefits, right?
Do you have any dessert recipes that are sweet on the budget? If so, give em up, pretty please!
Have a great weekend!

A couple things on this topic… I have been in training for about 6 months now for a triathlon at the end of August. This is cheap exercise for me. 5 days a week I either run in my neighborhood, swim at the community pool for $2 a pop, or ride my bike around town. The cost for using the community pool is my only expense. And having a real goal at the end of the summer is keeping me honest. I will never pay dues at a gym again. But what does this have to do with desserts? Well…
More of a problem for me is the cost of protein bars, which usually end up being my dessert or mid-day snack. Clif Bars, Luna Bars, and the like are yummy, but upwards of $1.50 per bar! I got a recipe from http://www.foodtv.com and Food Network chef Alton Brown for protein bars. They are much yummier than store bought, much more healthy with a quarter of the sugar and half the sodium, and all-in-all cost me about 50 cents per bar to make at home. It’s a winner.
HUmmm will rice krispy treats count???
lol
Have a great weekend.

OK, I ‘m going to sound like a loser, but what about fruit? You can’t tell from my waistline (or maybe you can!), but there’s nothing I like better for dessert than some fruit, and maybe some cheese and nuts, like pecans!
KO- I’m impressed.
PJD- How can I forget rice krispy treats? I so know how to make those, too!
GLM-Fruit is sweet. It works. Up with fruit!
