Football season is almost here! I’ll admit, I don’t know a whole lot about football, but I like watching the games and it’s always a great excuse to gather friends and eat some good food! The extent of my football knowledge is the rules can be confusing and fantasy football is a big deal. That’s about it. So I always make sure I bring good treats to make up [Read more >>]
Don’t forget about Father’s Day on Sunday! Dads, grandfathers, and father figures all deserve to know how much we appreciate them and everything they have taught us. My dad has educated me well on the finer things in life such as fishing, old cars, Pete Townshend, and cheese (he’s from Wisconsin). Thanks, Dad! Since we can have more than [Read more >>]
I admit, I’m a little bit of a football fan. I know the rules of the game, I’ll tag along if friends are going to a game, and I’ll cheer when my team is playing… I’ll even wear my team’s colors proudly, as if wearing their colors will somehow will the magic football gods to make [Read more >>]
I can’t believe I’m about to admit this, but recently I’ve come to enjoy a football game or two. I’m not the person that must see every play and can’t move from the couch before a commercial appears – but I’m just saying that since I *somewhat* know the rules, it has become slightly more [Read more >>]
It’s finalllllly here. I told you all I would wait until July 23rd to post any of my Olympic ideas. I think I did pretty well – unless you are a Club CandiQuik member, then you saw a sneak peak of a few ideas. But today you get the directions and recipes to all 20 sweet ideas! [Read more >>]

Olympic Torch Cake Pops Ingredients: 1 packages (16oz) Vanilla CandiQuik Coating 1 box cake mix (your choice of flavor, plus ingredients for cake mix) 8 oz. cake frosting Orange (oil [Read more >>]
First things first, to kick off Mother’s Day weekend I have a nice surprise for you. See that new page added to my blog?! Free printables! I will be adding more themes and holidays as time goes on. Whether you use them for cake pops, cupcake toppers, gift tags…it’s all up to you. Hope you enjoy. Did [Read more >>]
Why do I do this to myself? I eat completely weird combinations of food that should not be seen together!!! I promise – I know how to cook, but I’m notoriously known for eating strange off-the-wall dinners. I’m busy. I’m not married. I do not have kids. I’m hungry. Therefore, it happens. Example 1: Monday’s dinner consisted of buffalo [Read more >>]
If someone told me 10 years ago, “giving is better than receiving” I would have looked at them with one eyebrow raised and nodded in “agreement” while thinking to myself *this person is crazy and they obviously have no idea what they are talking about*. Receiving is WAY better than giving – pssh. However, I’ve [Read more >>]
A lot of football games have been on lately. Really “important” games. Of course neither the Broncos nor the (ahem) Vikings are playing anymore. So, naturally, I’ve been rooting for San Francisco. Why?! Because I like California. And this is how I pick who to cheer for. Silly, I know. But now we’re down to Giants and Patriots… what to [Read more >>]
Things I learned this week that I should’ve already known after my twenty-something years of life: Do not go running with someone that plays soccer on a team. Or better yet, anyone that plays soccer regularly. They can run, I…well, jog. Or you might even call it walking-incredibly-fast-where-you-kinda-have-to-jog, so you don’t trip. Then I’m doing [Read more >>]
