To all those mothers out there of children, stepchildren, grown adults, or fur babies….
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
It’s Mother’s Day weekend. Celebrate you, your mama, your grandmama, or that special friend that made a huge impact.
When we were younger, Gram loved making pies, and we loved eating them! My favorite was vanilla cream pie with a graham cracker crust. Although I don’t have Gram’s exact recipe, this one looks pretty close. I can’t wait to try it!

A true friend is the only person who never gets tired of listening to our own pointless dramas over and over again.

Ingredients
One of my favorite snacks is nonfat Greek yogurt. The plain Greek yogurt itself is not very good, but if you had protein powder, flavored collagen, or honey to it, it makes it really quite delicious!
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop flavored protein powder
- 1 scoop powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds if they are not already in your protein powder
- honey (optional) I used this at the beginning to get used to it. Now I don’t need it.
Stacy’s Suggestions and Preparation
- Put all ingredients into a bowl.
- Stir well to mix together.
- You could chill to make it more like ice cream too!
- Enjoy!
