The other day my bestie (Laura Neiman from Housewife Hellraiser) stopped by and asked me to go with her to Dunkin Donuts for some awesome iced coffee. I always love the entire Dunkin Donut experience that starts with the color scheme…orange and pink! That probably sound super silly but to me, colors matter and driving up, it’s the first sense that gets hit. Next of course is the smell when …
We are working on creating healthier eating habits around here these days. Quinoa is highly recommended for all of us and veggies, well they are an of course! Last night I mixed together some ingredients I had on hand and it was delish. We are calling it quinoa and vegetable meatloaf. This is what I mixed together then molded into a loaf in the dish. It was bit gooey which …
We love crinkle cookies because they are so super easy peasy to make and take a matter of minutes from start to eating them. Last night at Target we found this amazing cake mix and so it was decided….crinkle cookies as soon as we got home! This is the cake mix we used. Not only is the packaging adorable, the strawberry flavor is delicious! They stack up pretty! And they …

It did and these little cherry almond muffins are fantastic. I used my Love Heart stamp from Expressionery and made a little gift tag to tie on. The directions for the baking is on the back. It …
First of all, let me start by saying that EVERYTHING is better with sprinkles. Making things cute and yummy…yep, that’s what we do around here. These peanut butter cookies with vanilla melts and sprinkles from Wilton are just that…yummy and adorable too. We made a generic peanut butter cookie recipe but made the cookie sizes pretty smallish, fitting 15 to a sheet. We baked them and while they were still …
Yesterday I was on the phone chatting with Michele Muska and I mentioned that tomorrow is going to be National Pie Day.

It also share their stories in mini biographies. It is genius! Today the doorbell rang …
It all started when we found the whoopie pie pan at Michaels yesterday after church. We have been wanting to make macaroons and get trendy around here but weren’t sure how to start. The pan looked like the solution. The great news is that the recipe comes on the inside of the pan packaging…SCORE! We did adapt to make them vanilla flavored with a chocolate cream inside. We baked them …

It all started with a pouch of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and …
