Like I wrote in our Pumpkin Spice Snowball Cookies post, these delicious cookies are called different names: Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes or Snowball Cookies. Regardless of what you call them, they are delicious and a family favorite of ours. When I saw Dorothy’s post over on Crazy for Crust I about fell over. […]

This recipe has a lot of different names. The one that I see the most is Christmas Crack. The definitely an odd name but it makes sense after you try this “candy”. You won’t want to stop eating it. It’s deliciously addictive! In a good way, not a bad way. This is a fantastic “candy” […]

I go through baking phases. I’ll get on a kick where all I want to make is brownies – lots and lots of brownies. Then it’ll switch over to cookies and I make all sorts of different cookie recipes. Right now I’m in my candy making phase. I want to make candy (and eat it!) […]

Any recipe with “gooey” and “butter” in the title and I’m definitely going to try it. I mean, come on! Yum! And these cookies looked so festive they were a must make. Roll the balls of cookie dough in more sprinkles and then in powdered sugar. Bake and viola! Beautiful Christmas cookies. They are buttery […]

I absolutely love Sugar Skulls! So when I saw a very cool Sugar Skull cookie cutter I thought “I could do that.” Well, we made them and yes, they taste delicious. We used our favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe which I can’t stop eating. I wasn’t sure on the decorating. The cookies have the face stamped on […]

After making our Bubblegum Macarons I had to make another batch with a flavor that wasn’t “12 year old girl flavored”. And what better flavor to make than Oreo. I love Oreos so how could an Oreo Macaron not be delicious. Macrons are definitely not the easiest cookie to make. I understand why they are […]

Oh how I love frosted sugar cookies. Not just any frosted sugar cookies tho. Have you been to a store and they’ve had sugar cookies frosted in the bakery section? You know, the ones that are individually wrapped and look adorable? They don’t taste good. At all! So that’s why I say not just any […]

Oh sure, you could give your kids “regular” pencils to take to school. But why not jazz them up a little and make them special? You can with washi tape. And with all the different patterns and colors they now have available, you can make some pretty cool ones. Wrap the pencils up like this […]

Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? In honor of this month we made Pink Ribbon Sugar Cookies. In the US, 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2017, an estimated 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in […]

Are you a Key Lime Pie person? I’m sorry to say, I’m not. I know, don’t judge me. I always believed that a dessert should be pure. You know, chocolate or peanut butter or caramel – dessert things. Fruit? Nope. Not a dessert ingredient in my book. That being said, though, I have family members […]

Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
