    Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the General Mills HQ up in Minnesota. It was a quick trip, packed with meetings and fun. They issued a challenge to us – create a fun snack or party food using any of the Big G cereals.

    I chose Lucky Charms.

    For two reasons, it’s our family’s official “treat cereal” and because St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching.

    Even though I was working in these amazing kitchens with just about anything at my disposal, I still wanted to make something that was simple and that I would make in my own kitchen for my guys.

    So I set out to make pancakes…with crushed Lucky Charms mixed into the batter…for a little flavor and crunch. Then I colored the batter green…and then used the green and luck marshmallows as a garnish.

    Easy, easy, easy.

    I decided to make teeny tiny pancakes, from 2-bite size to 1-bite size. It did take a little longer to do this, but they turned out super cute…and I know the boys are going to love them!

    I shared a bit of a step-by-step over on the $5 Dinners Instagram page, if you want to see…click here and then swipe right to see them!

    Now it’s your turn to have a some green Lucky Charms fun in your kitchen!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
