Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I’m sure many of you already have your table settings ready to go and menus planned down to the wine pairings. Then there’s me… I will be hosting a small Thanksgiving dinner at my house and don’t have the slightest clue what will be served alongside the turkey. However, I DO [Read more >>]
When it comes to determining the actual start of fall, there are three types of people: the summer-break-is-over-and-school-has-begun folks, team fall-equinox-is-the-official-start-of-the-season, and last but certainly not least we have the pumpkin-spice-latte-is-back-and-so-my-life-is-complete crew. Regardless of which party you belong to, can we all just agree that fall is pretty darn awesome? With fresh school supplies, Halloween, the smell of crunchy leaves, my birthday (please, [Read more >>]
Memorial Day is only a few days away and you know what that means… summer has officially begun! First and foremost, we must remember those who have served and died for our country. They paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Against the backdrop of barbecues and boating, it’s important to remember what Memorial Day [Read more >>]
I can’t even believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday! (It is just me, or does it seem like time speeds by faster than ever when you’re an adult?!) As a kid, time seemingly crawled through the holiday season. It seemed like the days were longer, stretching time infinitely longer than it should be before Christmas. But [Read more >>]
Did any of you guys ever watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee when it was on the Food Network? I was weirdly obsessed with Sandra Lee’s show. One, because her recipes were great — I love that semi-homemade approach to cooking. And two, because her tablescapes were always so stunning. But I had to wonder: WHERE did [Read more >>]
Believe it or not, there was once a time in my life where I disliked pecan pie. (Yeah, it was kind of a dark time.) For some reason, it just didn’t ring my bell the same way Dutch Apple or Banana Cream did. I figured I’d just live out the rest of my days drinking [Read more >>]
I just love these little turkey pretzels! These pretty much use the same instructions as my turkey cake pops I made a couple years ago. Only 10x easier and faster. Not that I don’t love cake pops, but you know… Plus, I’m kind of on a make-a-pretzel-for-every-holiday kick, if you haven’t noticed. All you need to [Read more >>]
Cookies are in high competition around here lately. Yesterday we had sugar cookies, Halloween decorated cookies, lemon cookies, lemon cookies with cherry chips, pumpkin cookies, AND these Harvest Corn Cookies in the lunchroom at work. Decisions, decisions. How’s a girl supposed to resist ALL of that?! Impossible. These by far were the cutest of them [Read more >>]
Cinnamon infused candy coating…a must try! I took these simple nut clusters to the next level by adding cinnamon and craisins to the mix. They turned out amazing. There’s not much of a recipe here, just a few simple ingredients thrown together resulting in a slightly addicting treat. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve [Read more >>]
A lot of times I am asked, “What is the difference between CandiQuik and almond bark, candy melts, wafers, etc.?” Well, a lot! Truly. For one, CandiQuik is naturally flavored with all natural ingredients. Dos (as in, # two), Candiquik uses very fine sugar particles – this will come out in the taste and mouth [Read more >>]
Tipi, tepee, or teepee? According to Wiki, they’re all correct. I prefer the latter. Anyway, a while back I received a package from My Little Cupcake. You may remember when I showed off one of the four molds with these Cupcake Cake Pops!? The verdict? Love. Just think of all the possibilities with this cone mold! [Read more >>]
