True Story: Make Twinkies Healthy (Smile)

True Story:

 I was at the day old bread store to get some buns for a cookout for Memorial Day AND while I was there I spotted Twinkies among other sweet no-no's.  So I think to myself....there will be lots of people at my house and I do plan to make pies (Lemon Pies - yum) and have watermelon and cookies and strawberries, but what if they want a quick sweet something????  So I picked up the Twinkies, some cheese crackers, a mini pecan pie, and the buns.  As it turns out, no one ate the Twinkies.  Well, some of them were gone, but more than half of them remained in the goodie jar.  So I decided I must make those Twinkies into a healthy snack!  (giggle)  So......
First, put the unwrapped Twinkie in a bowl.  Then put about 3/4 cup of sliced strawberries on top of the Twinkie.  Next is the Reddi Whip and wala!  Healthy?  Ok, maybe not, but it was good!

It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...
