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 >>]
So I apologize to anyone in advance, but when it comes to Halloween, I get way too excited and immediately lose all semblance of willpower around bright bags of chocolate candy, pumpkin everything, spooky decor, and Halloween treats. It’s like the second stores break out the pumpkin goodies and plastic bat decorations, my mind kind [Read more >>]
Is it just me, or is miniature food so much cuter and tastier than its larger counterparts? Think about it: petit fours are insanely more adorable than a larger cake. Brownie bites are petite and sweet compared to a regular hunk of brownie. And mini cupcakes? Almost too cute to eat and definitely impossible to [Read more >>]
Things I accomplished this past Saturday: three naps, eating an unruly amount of these treats, and 20 sit-ups. The 20 sit-ups were out of pure guilt for my previous lack of accomplishments. Between the road trip, being awake at approximately 5 a.m. (or earlier) for the past eight days, and going back to work eight hours after returning [Read more >>]
Today I bring you a different kind of treat. It doesn’t involve cake, frosting, or even cookies. But it’s still decadent and finger paw-lickin’ good - depending on who you ask. I just couldn’t leave the canines out. I even had my own personal taste tester. Her name is Lola. She’s a teensy bit spoiled. And [Read more >>]
Mid-Century swimsuits. Retro bra tops. Zigzag and chevron everything. Cropped tops. Plastic/Vinyl shoes (remember jellies!?), throwback sports jerseys… even sodas now… the list goes on. Some things shouldn’t come back. But they do. What I’m about to share with you deserves to be seen again. Any of you remember these? No excuse not to make them, you probably already have all the [Read more >>]
Isn’t he just so dang cute?! I love his facial expressions. Do young kids even know who Pinocchio is? I sure hope so, otherwise this is going to be a total fail. These would be adorable to have at a birthday party. In fact, I’m going to make sure my kids see every classic Disney movie. Have [Read more >>]
Ok, maybe these aren’t sooo “personal” sized. Instead, you could grab 2 spoons and share - or not. They’re actually not all that much more than a large piece of pie. You know what, you could probably even freeze these and pull out whenever the time is right. Or bring them to work! Hey, you have to [Read more >>]
If you like mint and/or chocolate, this is it. If you like those little York peppermint patties, this is it. If you don’t like York peppermint patties (like me), this is still it. If you’re looking for an easy after dinner treat… you know it. Perfect Peppermint Thumbprints Print A simple version of [Read more >>]
Have you made cake pops and they were a complete disaster? Yeah, me too. Seriously. We’ve all burned the heck out of our chocolate, lost a cake ball off the stick, had our beautiful cake pops crack 5 minutes later, or had them leak weird stuff everywhere! It’s sooo frustrating! Don’t worry though, it gets better! But let me save [Read more >>]
