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 […]

Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
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 […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
