When these cute Bunny Pretzels were originally posted two years ago, we had almost a foot of snow still on the ground and the snowman population was higher than what one hopes for in the spring. This year we have robins reappearing, buds on the trees, and grass that is almost green! Spring and [Read more >>]
Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Cookies
I absolutely, positively cannot apologize for posting Valentine’s recipes early. For one, it’s my job. The second the Christmas candy goes on clearance and the heart-shaped candies come out, it’s game-on. And secondly, everyone is all rah-rah kale and diets in January. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to run from the kale and ruin [Read more >>]
Trail Mix Clusters
I’m not the biggest fan of working out, but I do love walking and hiking. There’s something so relaxing about mindlessly walking through nature, whether it be on a track at the local high school or on an actual trail somewhere on a mountain. Thankfully, there’s plenty of outdoorsy places for me to hike around [Read more >>]
Cannoli Bites
When I first went to New York City, I was told — no, instructed – to get a cannoli. Seeing as they aren’t very popular where I live, I’d never had one but had heard so many fabulous things about this magical Italian dessert. So pretty much the second I stepped out of the airport, I [Read more >>]
50+ Christmas Treats Featuring CandiQuik!
Can you believe Christmas is in THREE days?! I’m at a weird point where I can and I can’t… simply because I’m still so shocked at how close it is, yet I’m completely aware with all the lines, traffic, and Christmas music constantly swirling around my life. Tis the season! Anywho, since time is of [Read more >>]
Eggnog Spice Cookies
Eggnog is one of those love-it or hate-it things that’s pretty divided into those two categories. Some people get SO excited for the holidays because of eggnog, and others cringe at the thought of it. And while I wish I could commit to a side, I’m honestly in the middle. Sometimes, I crave eggnog [Read more >>]
Rudolph Cookie Bites
I just love these adorable, edible reindeer! When it comes to crafts, I’m best with food-related crafts. I’ve always been envious of the people who can take glittery picks and sparkly ribbon and create gorgeous wreaths. Or those who can take random household objects to create amazing, one-of-a-kind doodads, like a chandelier made of Mason [Read more >>]
Polar Bear Pops {and a Sweet Treats for the Holidays Book Review!}
Aren’t these the CUTEST pops you ever did see?! I seriously cannot get over their little faces! Sometimes, it takes me awhile to think of recipes to make for this blog. People assume that because a lot of the recipes on the site are crafty, that I must be brimming with all these really crafty, [Read more >>]
Oreo Ornaments
If it were socially acceptable (or if my family would allow it) I would be putting up Christmas decorations the day after Halloween. Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. I love the feeling in the air, I love shopping for presents, wrapping them, blasting Christmas music, baking Christmas cookies, and decorating my house like a [Read more >>]
Marshmallow Hot Cocoa Pops
One of my favorite things about the holidays is the FOOD. Let’s get real here. No one really eats a boatload of peppermint or stuffs their faces with gingerbread during any other time of year. And if we’re being honest, I only really care about things like hot cocoa and truffles when the temps drop [Read more >>]
