I have a confession. I tried a macaron for the first time, ever. I know, I know. What a terrible baker/dessert blogger I am! The worst part is that when I say I tried one – that’s exactly what I mean. Tried. I was not the baker. Have you ever tried a French macaron? I [Read more >>]
Are you ready for the easiest (yummiest) Easter basket treat ever?! I needed something that was cute, wouldn’t break easy (mailing in packages), could feed an army, and last a few days without losing it’s flavor. This is what I came up with and only takes about 10 minutes to put together. Longer if you’re coming up [Read more >>]
The first time I saw these over at Stop Lookin’ Get Cookin’s blog, I almost died from the cuteness. Why did I never think of turning pretzel twists into cute little chicks (or are they ducklings?)!? I thought of making bunnies out of pretzel RODS, but making little critters out of the twists – nope. [Read more >>]
Well hello there! What better way to eat a Peep than in a chocolate Easter egg? Two weeks ago I bought about five dozen peeps. Pink ones, purple ones, yellow ones, blue ones, limited edition ones(!)… all in attempt to making something fun and creative for the Peeps Hop Along Party. Something more than just [Read more >>]
It’s almost Spring. I have to keep telling myself that. Because currently, outside my window all I see is a flurry of snowflakes whipping through the air. But this is the last of it…or at least that’s what ‘they’ keep saying. If you live in a state where you have four distinct seasons, you hear [Read more >>]
What happened? It’s March. Which means St. Patrick’s Day. And Easter this year too! I must say, I love the bright colors that we associate with Easter, it means warm weather is *slowly* approaching. Can you tell how much I love winter? If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time you’ve probably [Read more >>]
So, it happens to be that it is cold outside. Surprise, surprise Minnesota. What does that have to do with anything? Well, I’m glad you asked, because I couldn’t find a dang candy thermometer in the kitchen to save my life. Nor did I really want to go out into the cold to buy a new one. (I’m officially talking [Read more >>]
Let’s talk. You and I… I, like most of you, feel like I am always running, rushing, in a hurry to get somewhere, to do something. Whether it’s rushing to work or trying to beat traffic, trying to get to the gym after work. Not to mention trying to get a parking spot at the gym, ugh. Then rushing [Read more >>]
I was recently asked to participate in a virtual baby shower! Have you ever been to one? Well, not really, but participated? I love the idea…and today, this virtual shower is for Meaghan, aka The Decorated Cookie. She is mega-talented and even has a book, Sugarlicious. She was the original one who made THESE melting [Read more >>]
Let’s talk fudge…and Biscoff. Please tell me you’ve had Biscoff, at least the cookies? Those delicious little cookies that Delta hands out… Well, they make a spread. I don’t even know how to explain it, besides that it is this sweet, creamy spread that tastes just like the cookies. Apparently it is a European alternative to peanut [Read more >>]
