3 Never-Fail Desserts That Your Family Will Enjoy
Wednesday, October 5, 2022
Nothing is more enticing than enjoying a decadent dessert after a meal. According to statistics, 32 percent of people eat dessert after a meal at least twice a week. Family desserts are a great way to spend quality time together while giving your taste buds a memorable treat. You can get creative by trying various dessert recipes rather than buying them regularly. Doing this also helps you better control what you and your family eat, keeping issues like allergies in mind during ingredient selection and preparation. Are you wondering which desserts you and your family can enjoy? Here are some tasty treats worth considering.
Homemade Fruity Pebble Marshmallow Treats
Wednesday, August 3, 2022
I can't believe back-to-school season time is already here again. I have been racking my brain and trying to compile lists of all the things that I use to make for my kids for their lunches. Our district had free lunch and breakfast for the last two years, but now I am back to making them again. My kid's do not like school lunches, and I know I can make a better-quality lunch for less at home. But sometimes I do like to throw little treats in their lunch boxes for them.
My friend made these fruity pebble marshmallow treats or rice Krispie treats with fruity pebbles at a party she hosted a few weeks back and they were so good. PLUS, they are only three ingredients and so easy to make that I decided to re-create them. I will say that FRESH marshmallows are the way to go.

Patriotic Yogurt Dipped Strawberries
Thursday, June 30, 2022
Eating healthy doesn't mean that you have to give up the things you love. But making and bringing your healthier alternatives to festivities is what has helped me stay on track to lose and keep off 70 pounds. So, with summer in full gear and fourth of July (Independence Day) right around the corner, I thought I would share something I'm adding to my charcuterie board, and they are these patriotic yogurt dipped strawberries.

Homemade Fruit Bar Popsicles
Thursday, June 9, 2022
Summer is in full swing in our house. The kids are on summer break, and we are enjoying many pool days. Homemade fruit bar popsicles make a great cool down summer treat while making sure you have zero food waste.

We had some leftover fruit that I was going to use to make a Memorial Day charcuterie board, but I was too tired that weekend. We simply just did too much and overextended ourselves. So, I brought just the fruit to the pool with family, but not everyone was a fan of the blueberries and raspberries. I do not like food waste and did not want it to go to waste. So, I decided to create these fruit bar popsicles. I searched that internet for fruit smoothie recipes and then altered the recipe to fit my needs.
Easy Air Fryer Donuts
Wednesday, May 4, 2022
I love baking with my kids. I know I have mentioned how much I love cooking with my kids more than a time or two, but it can be such a fun activity to do together for them to learn not only a helpful life skill, but it can be a fun science project as well to learn about changing properties. But sometimes I want to just create something easy with them. And these Easy Air Fryer Donuts are only two ingredients, but a huge hit the whole house enjoyed.

Have you taken the family strawberry picking yet? We love to go to our local agrotourism farm and pick some fresh strawberries. It was makes for some super cute pictures and fun memories. Did you know May 20 is National Pick Strawberries Day?

And I am so excited to share this super easy and very yummy recipe that I have decided to call Strawberry Brownies. They taste and have a texture like brownies, but I put them in cupcake liners to make them easier to serve when I made them for Easter. I saw a version of this recipe floating around for Valetine's Day and I thought I would take a shot at recreating them for a family get together. They were a definite crowd pleaser!

Pretzel Hugs & Kisses {Easiest Sweet & Salty Valentine Treat}
Saturday, January 15, 2022
The easiest dessert to make. These Pretzel Hugs are the perfect Valentine's Day treat to share with someone you love. I loved this the most because it is the best of both sweet and salty, plus you can make so much at once to share with the ones you love!
We made these homemade cake pops back in October that are super easy to make as well and you could surprise your love you with some of those as well. They are for sure a crowd pleaser, but with 2022 going the way it is going, I am more for going the easier route.
Homemade Cake Pops - What to Do with Leftover Birthday Cake
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
I hate wasting food. You can ask anyone I know. There are people starving all over the world. So, when it comes to what to do with leftover food from events, I am always thinking outside the box. Searching for what to do with leftover birthday cake, I found that you actually make cake pops with cake. You basically make a cake and frosting then it easy peasy from there. PLUS, cake pops are freezable! So, you could make a bunch of cake pops out of the leftover cake, pop them in your freezer, and save them for a later event or a sweet random surprise treat.
To make the cake pops, you will need left over cake, or you can make a sheet cake plus enough frosting to cover just the cake. I had a bunch of little bites that were about to expire. There was no way we were going to go through them in time and I definitely didn't want to waste them, so I decided to turn them into Vampire Cake Bites for a Halloween charcuterie board. I also already had some candy coating on hand from when I worked with Chocolate Pen so this basically a no brainer recipe for me to create.
Hazelnut Pancake Muffins with Once Again Nut Butter
Friday, May 18, 2018
I have never tried a hazelnut spread before. I know crazy, right? It is a thing that people have been going crazy over online, but I just never got on the hype. I recently had the opportunity to try out Once Again Nut Butter's Amore Hazelnut Spread. I was so excited to finally try hazelnut spread from a brand that I love.
I am in a Shelf Challenge right now. And basically the idea is to cut your grocery bill by being super creative and using up the items found in your pantry then save the savings. I have a ton of pancake and waffle box mixes for some reason. I have made a bunch of batches and frozen them, we have had breakfast dinner more times than I can count, but my favorite thing to do with pancake box mix batter is to make muffins for the kids. You can add anything you like: honey, fruit, sprinkles, etc. But this time I added Once Again Nut Butter Amore Hazelnut Spread.

Popsicles are our favorite summer treat. In fact, they are such a family favorite treat that we even eat them during the winter! They are easy to make and I am loving this fruit punch infused recipe I created.

There are so many things that I enjoy about being a mom. One of my favorites is sharing memories from my childhood with my children. When I was growing up, Saturday morning cartoons were a huge deal. Every other day of the week was busy with school and playing outside (which is also my children's favorite thing to do). It has been so cold here this winter, so we have been snuggling up on the couch more and streaming our favorite shows. I am a baby of the 80's and thanks to Netflix, we have been able to start introducing our children to the classics, such as Care Bears!
I decided to break out the Tampico, another classic “Splash From the Past,” that has been bringing delicious fruit juice drinks to kids (and moms) since 1989, and make some Fruit Punch Infused Popsicles to share with my kiddos while we watched the multi-colored bears that bring back so many wonderful memories from my childhood.
