Huggable Christmas Cupcakes
My middle child needed a treat to take to cheerleading the other evening, so we decided to make mini cupcakes. We used this ‘souped up’ cake mix recipe, and wanted them to look festive. This is what I we came up with! I thought they turned out really cute, and they were so simple, so
Christmas Kit Kat Cake with Eggland’s Best {GIVEAWAY}
One of my family’s favorite cakes is what is commonly referred to now as the “Kit Kat Cake” or the “Candy Cake”. I made my first one for my daughter’s 10th birthday and it was a huge success. And delicious! I have wanted to make a Christmas version and the 2013 Eggland’s Best Holiday Dessert Recipe
Egg & Nut Free Holiday Treats – Round Up
The holidays are a little tough when you or someone in your family has food allergies. My son was diagnosed with egg, peanut and tree nut allergies at a very young age. He is now 5 and has outgrown the egg allergy, so things have gotten easier. However, this time of year, with food pretty
Happy Thanksgiving & Acorn Cookies
I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has had a wonderful day full of food and family. I enjoyed both! It probably wasn’t necessary to try all the desserts, but I felt it was my duty as a food blogger 😉 You may have seen these Acorn Cookies on Facebook or Instagram…. “Acorn” Cookies Mini Nilla
{egg free} Lemon Curd
I L-O-V-E me some lemon curd. Creamy, sweet, tart, lemon-y deliciousness. Of course, as with most things I adore, it isn’t all that good for you. I have wanted to try an egg free version for a while, and I have to say, I was quite pleased with my first attempt at homemade lemon curd!
White Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Walnut Cookies
I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with a name for these cookies…something short, but encompasses all the yumminess they contain. I failed. So, I guess I’ll just show them to you. I love cookies. And I really love chocolate chip cookies. I like this cookie recipe because it makes a nice fat cookie,
Brownie Graduation Hats
For Mr. Three’s pre-school graduation party last week, I made little graduation hats. (I can’t believe my baby is going to Kindergarten in the Fall!) (You may have seen this pic on Instagram already.) I got the idea from Pinterest (of course), but most used a Reese Cup as the base. Mine needed to be
Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs
Somehow, Easter is right around the corner. Like, this weekend around the corner! Things have been quite hectic around here. Between volleyball for my 2 girls, and a nasty virus/strep going around the house, things have been out of sorts. Everything was kind of on hold last week, b/c my 4 y/o was sick, and when
Chocolate Candy Cake
I gave a little overview of my middle child’s 10th birthday last week, with a pic of her Pinterest inspired over-the-top cake. I mean a cake surrounded in Kit Kat candy bars and covered with M&M’s…every kids dream right?! (and me being the chocoholic that I am was secretly super excited to have an excuse
