Good morning to anyone listening out there – or rather, anyone “reading” out there. A little break from the recipe postings to bring you: PUMPKINS! Mini ones, 100 of them…all coming soon! A fun and easy craft for you and the kids (or just you!). Give them to friends, family, etc! Lumpy ones, ones with warts, [Read more >>]
Vanilla (candiquik), Mint (extract), steamed milk. Latte? Yes…technically speaking.
Yesterday was not the greatest of days. We all have those, right?! I hate to be Debbie Downer, but those are the facts. However, it did get better. It is amazing what a little chocolate therapy will do for ‘ya. Oh…and cheesecake. Layered on top of the chocolate. Form of chocolate: brownies. Form of cheesecake: [Read more >>]
I’m going to warn you. Let your guard down for a minute. Say goodbye to any willpower you may possess. And do not be afraid of the sugar. Do not be afraid of the sugar. Repeat this an additional seven times. Go ahead and put away the measuring cups. And it gets even better [Read more >>]
Remember just last week when it was the beginning of summer…? Ok, it was more like a few months ago. But I feel as if I blinked and suddenly August has slapped me in the face.

Every once in a while I dip whatever I can find in CANDIQUIK… Sometimes I turn CANDIQUIK into cookies. Sometimes into cake…cheesecake too. Sometimes bread… Even animals and characters…true story. Today involves dipping…and we have lots of sugar, peanut butter, regular butter, chocolate, ohhhh and more sugar, to bring you – homemade peanut butter balls coated [Read more >>]
Well…here we go again, another awesome recipe. Ever since the creation of this blog – with all the ideas being shared and published, my official new nicknames are either Sara Lee or Betty Crocker…I guess that’s not a bad thing, right!? As this bread was baking, the smell that filled the air was unbelievable…I experienced insta-hunger! I couldn’t [Read more >>]
