Cheat Day Eats
Mar 25th, 2011
I am a huge proponent of the diet cheat day. Typically, mine runs from Friday night through lunch time on Saturday. I don’t gorge myself on crazy amounts of fast food I just indulge in foods that I otherwise avoid during the week. A diet cheat day can also work to boost your metabolism. Just raising your calorie consumption one day per week can kick your metabolism up and prevent a plateau. Hey, that explanation works for me! This weekends special treat is brought to us by Jenny from the amazing blog, Picky Palate. Her site is jam packed with recipes guaranteed to please even your pickiest eater. Today we will be satisfying the sweet tooth with No-Bake Chewy Cookies and Cream Bars…
I think I would be happy just eating the ingredients.

One 16 oz package of Oreo
5 cups Large Marshmallows

1. Place Oreos in food processor and pulse until ground. Melt marshmallows and butter in microwave until puffed, about 1 1/2- 2 minutes. Remove and pour in ground Oreo Cookies.
