Looking for a sweet treat that can help you celebrate all things turkey? Thanksgiving Rice Krispie Treats are easy to make and assemble!

Turkey-Thanksgiving-Krispie-Treats-Frugal-Coupon-Living

There are always tons of crafts and recipes to make around the holidays, but this Thanksgiving Rice Krispie Treats recipe is so fun to put together and the ingredients are super simple. This Rice Krispie Turkey is also budget friendly, which I love! Making a craft that is also edible is a win-win in my book. The kids will literally gobble it right up!

Tips for Making Thanksgiving Turkey Rice Krispy Treats

It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing color, the air is getting crisper, and families are gathering to give thanks. And what would Thanksgiving be without a turkey-shaped treat? This year, why not try something new and make your own Thanksgiving Rice Krispy Treats? Here are a few tips for making them.

  1. Choose your shape. Whether you want to go for traditional rice Krispy treats or you just want to do a circle, this is the time to create your favorite shape.
  2. Make the dough. Start by melting marshmallows and butter in a pot over low heat. Once the mixture is melted, add in rice cereal until evenly mixed.
  3. Scoop and shaping. Use a spoon or cookie cutter to scoop out dough and shape into your desired turkey shape.
  4. Decorate! Have fun decorating your turkey with frosting, candy eyes, and whatever else you can think of!

Enjoy! Let your creativity shine through and have fun making these delicious Thanksgiving treats!

Is there a difference between marshmallow cream and marshmallow fluff?

Marshmallow cream is a thick, spreadable mixture made from marshmallows, corn syrup, and gelatin. Marshmallow fluff is similar but does not contain gelatin and has a lighter texture. Both can be used as substitutes for marshmallows in Rice Krispie Treats, but may result in slightly different textures and flavors.

Can you make Turkey Rice Krispie Treats ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely make Rice Krispie Treats ahead of time. Simply prepare the treats according to your desired recipe and store them in an airtight container. They can last for up to a week at room temperature or even longer if stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving for optimum gooeyness and enjoyment.

Can these turn into Rice Krispie Pops?

Yes. Go ahead and prepare your Rice Krispie treat turkey. You can use these lollipop cake pop sticks to create cute turkey pops. For a fun idea, stick your dessert sticks in a decorated foam flower block or even a pumpkin drilled with holes. Display on the Thanksgiving dessert tables.

Is there a substitute for marshmallows in rice crispy treats?

If you don’t have marshmallows on hand or prefer not to use them, you can try using marshmallow fluff or melting chocolate chips and mixing them with the Rice Krispies cereal. You can also try using melted white chocolate or cream cheese as a substitute for the gooeyness typically provided by marshmallows. Experiment with different combinations and see what works best for your taste preferences.

How long will homemade Rice Krispie Turkey Treats stay fresh?

Homemade Rice Krispie Treats will stay fresh at room temperature for about a week, stored in an airtight container. They can also last longer if stored in the refrigerator. If you want them to stay even fresher for a longer period of time, you can also freeze them for up to a couple of months. Simply thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

This easy cheeseburger soup is creamy with ground beef, vegetables & shredded cheddar cheese. As a bonus, this delicious soup can be made in under 30 minutes and freezes well, which makes it the perfect weeknight meal. Enjoy this simple and easy dinner recipe with a twist! Take burgers off the grill and into the pot!

Easy Cheeseburger Soup Recipe Family Dinner Idea

A delicious way to fill you up and warm you from the outside in on a chilly day this Cheeseburger Soup definitely hits the spot. Cheesy and hearty with a generous serving of meat and tender vegetables for a soup that makes for a great meal-just add crackers or a crusty bread to complete your meal.

If you have bacon left over from breakfast (ya I never do either) you can chop a few pieces and put it over the top for a tasty bacon cheeseburger soup recipe. You can also freeze and reheat this soup for a quick lunch or dinner, let soup cool completely and put it in a freezer safe bowl with a lid.

Cheeseburger Soup Recipe Variation Options

As with any soup, there are a number of ways that you can change up the ingredients to suit your taste. For example, you could:

  • Use a different kind of cheese
  • Use diced tomatoes instead of ketchup
  • Add in some chopped onion or green pepper
  • Top with crumbled bacon or chopped chives or a dollop of sour cream

The sky’s the limit when it comes to soup, so feel free to get creative with your our flavor and likes!

Tips for Making Easy Cheeseburger Soup

Here are a few tips to help you make the best cheeseburger soup possible:

  • Start with cooked ground beef. This will save you time since you won’t have to cook the beef before adding it to the soup.
  • If you want a thinner soup, add more broth. For a thicker soup, add less broth.
  • Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. This is the best way to ensure that your soup tastes just the way you want it.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

FAQ for Cheeseburger Soup

Can I make this soup ahead of time?

Yes, this soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you’re ready to eat. Just store leftovers or your prepared meal in an airtight container in the fridge and it should stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also freeze this soup.

I don’t have parmesan cheese, can I use something else?

If you don’t have parmesan cheese on hand, you can try using whatever cheese you do have! Cheeseburger soup is a very versatile meal, which means you can use whatever is in your fridge including, swiss, pepper jack, cream cheese or Velveeta cheese for a very creamy cheesy soup!

Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, this soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Make ahead and freeze for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Just store it in a freezer-safe container and thaw it in the fridge when you’re ready to eat.

How can I thicken or thin my Cheeseburger soup?

You can play with the consistency of your soup. Add a cornstarch slurry or flour to thicken your soup. Add additional broth to thin your creamy soup.

Can I substitute proteins?

Play with your protein. You can substitute ground beef with shredded chicken, ground chicken, ground turkey or ground Italian sausage.

Can this be made in the slow cooker?

Yes, this would make a perfect crock-pot cheeseburger soup. Prep your meat and onions before adding all the ingredients. Add your potatoes the last hour of cooking. Make this slow cooker soup on a low setting.

How can I reduce the sodium in soup?

To reduce your sodium in this soup recipe, add only one teaspoon salt. In addition, after you cook the meat, drain the grease. You can also substitute the ground met with a lower sodium ground turkey.  Lastly, cook with a low-sodium chicken or beef broth as the base.

How can I use leftover burgers?

Use leftover burgers or cheeseburgers with this soup. On the night you have hamburgers, add a few extra to the grill in preparation for this quick and easy weeknight dinner cheeseburger soup recipe.

DIY Bathroom Vanity Makeover

Bathroom Vanity Makeover Ideas on a Budget

Frugal times call for frugal measures. We have been crossing off our Older Home Improvement Renovations off one by one.  When we purchased this one, we had a bathroom that wasn’t very updated and I knew could be improved with a quick weekend project.

Our chalk paint vanity was slowly looking like a 100 year old farmhouse bathroom vanity. I don’t mean in the best way. I mean 100 year old in the sense that this bathroom needs some tender loving care. It was time to paint or replace the bathroom vanity. To save money, we dedicated a weekend to painting an old bathroom vanity.

Bathroom Vanity Makeover Before

Refinishing your bathroom vanity cabinets is a thrifty way to bring your entire bathroom to life. It can be done for under $50 with only a few essential supplies.

Bathroom Vanity Makeover Supplies

These are the supplies we had on hand before beginning our Bathroom Vanity Makeover.

  • Vanity/Cabinet
  • Paint/Primer (we used Behr Marquee Flint Grey Paint)
  • 180-220 Grit sandpaper
  • Paint brush (Home Depot Best Seller Wooster 2 in. Paint Brush)
  • Vacuum
  •  Tack cloth
  • Screw driver/screw gun

When refinishing your bathroom vanity cabinets, also consider:

  • New cabinet hardware or hardware paint like Rust-Oleum All Surface Metallic Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint and Primer in One.

The paint was about $35 and we actually had the rest of the bathroom makeover supplies. However, if you are in need of a some materials your will hit closer to the $50 threshold.

Refinishing Your Bathroom Vanity Cabinets

Follow these steps to update a bathroom vanity with paint.

First, clean your vanity/cabinet by scrubbing it with a sponge, dish soap and water and let dry.

Remove your cabinet doors, drawers and hardware with a screw driver or screw gun if you can. Label your doors and drawers do you know where they go.

Bathroom Vanity and Sand Paper

Sand your vanity/cabinet with the grain of the wood.

Vacuum dust and paint from sanding.

Use a tack cloth to wipe the vanity/cabinet.

What is a tack cloth? A tack cloth is a specialized type of loosely woven cheesecloth that is treated with a tacky material for wiping away dust and fine particles.

Tape around your edges. Tape near the counter top, walls, white trim baseboard and flooring.

Paint a primer on your cabinet (my cabinet was painted white prior so I skipped this step) and let dry overnight.

How to Remodel a Bathroom Vanity

Paint the doors and drawers on your cabinet and let dry. Then paint the rest of the cabinet. (My drawers were not removable, if yours are you can paint both at the same time) and let dry for at least 4 hours.

Paint a second coat on the doors, drawers and cabinet and let dry overnight.

Reattached the doors, drawers and add new hardware.  If you don’t want to buy new hardware, you can always re-paint the ones you had. A great hardware paint is Rust-Oleum All Surface Metallic Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint and Primer in One (comes in many colors.)

Behr Grey Paint Colors

Take a look at the best Behr grey paint for bathrooms. For our bathroom makeover, we used Behr Flint Gray Paint, but there are many beautiful shades of gray for vanities, walls, etc.

Part of Behr 2020 Color Trends in the grey paint called Battleship Gray. The Behr 2020 Color Trends palette was inspired by natural elements such as sky, earth, water and plant life.

Best Gray Paint Colors

Looking for a warm gray, dark gray, a light gray? There are so many different shades of grey.

The Best Gray Paints from Behr

We found more popular gray paint colors from Behr. Paint your dinning room, living room, kitchen or renovate your bathroom in one weekend too!

  • Colonnade Gray
  • Dawn Gray
  • Dolphin Fin
  • Evaporation
  • Grey River Rock
  • Light French Gray
  • Pencil Sketch
  • Sawgrass
  • Seagull Gray
  • Still Gray

Grey or Gray

I felt a need to quick address this! You will see me use the two variations of gray and grey on this post. Gray is American spelling while Grey is British spelling. Depending on how Behr identified the color, was the version I picked up. Google will identify and interchange for you both colors when doing your own internet search.

Our Pinterest community and I would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your final bathroom vanity makeover or a space where you painted gray paint.  Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!

Chewy.com Cat Food and Dog Food | Online pet food delivery service with deals, coupons and free shipping.

In my lifetime of having pets, I never found myself in a position of needing an expensive cat food or such careful care and attention to a cat.  This past year, we have gone through quite the challenge with our sweet orange tabby male cat. This medical issues created a very expensive surgery and a daily requirement of Hill’s Science Diet Prescription food. Through our challenges, we discovered Chewy.com Cat Food.

If you are looking for Chewy.com Cat Food or Dog Food, we have deals and cat food coupons to help you find an affordable Pet Food Delivery Service.

Chewy.com Cat Food

While Chewy.com delivery caters to both cats and dogs, this post focuses on cats as that was our personal experience with an online retailer for pet food delivery.

Chewy.com Cat Food Deals

Cat Food Brands

Chewy cat food and treats have a large selection of top brands at low prices. Dry cat food and wet food choices include some of the best cat food brands. Shop the best dry cat food including Blue Buffalo, Merrick, Halo, Wellness, Taste of the Wild, Hills Science Diet, Friskies, Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan, Instinct and their very own Stella & Chewy’s – a holistic and organic pet food option.

I personally use their Hill’s science diet prescription cat food. They make this prescription service incredibly easy. Upload a prescription from your vet or supply Chewy your vet’s name and number.

For us, it was Hill’s Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Feline Urinary Care for our cat’s needs. They called our vet to confirm we could purchase this cat food. This confirmation was done in 24 hours and my order was shipped quickly. You also can look into Chewy Pharmacy for free shipping on pet meds, as well.

Chewy Cat Food Deals

The reason I began using pet food delivery was because of Chewy.com’s low prices and promo codes. I was able to have the pet food delivered straight to my home and I began earning discounts for continuous auto shipping.

Is Cat Food Cheaper at Retail or Pet Stores?

One thing my vet, pet stores and retail stores could not offer me was delivery to my home, instant savings and a continuous cat food savings. In fact, what secret won’t your veterinarian tell you? How to save money elsewhere!

Actually, that was opposite for me. Once my vet assigned my cat prescription wet cat food, she recommended I look into Chewy.com for cat food coupons.

How to Save Money on Cat Food

Thankfully, I was lead in the right direction to show me how to save money on cat food. Save on your first order. With Chewy.com, save 30% on your first autoship order plus get free 1 to 2 day shipping on orders over $49 with no shipping fee!

Additionally, Chewy is not only convenient with fast shipping, you can save money on continuous pet food delivery with the autoship option. Save an extra 5 to 10% on future cat food autoship orders. You can select the timing of your orders making them a few weeks apart or even a few months apart. Pet parents will appreciate that they can adjust frequency of your shipments at any time.

Pet Pharmacy

One of the best things about Chewy.com is their pet pharmacy. Simply upload or mail your dog or cat prescriptions and have it shipped or even auto delivered to your home. It’s take the fuss of running to your local pharmacy or veterinary office to pick up your pet’s medical needs. This can include common medications like flea and tick meds or other pet prescriptions to address medical issues.

Pet Food, Pet Products, & Pet Supplies

Of course let’s not forget our other friendly creatures.
