Cupid’s Candy Corn Rice Krispy Treats #ValentinesDay

Jan 15

Have you ever came across someone that didn’t like the ooey gooey buttery deliciousness of a Rice Krispie Treat? Neither have I! I grew up eating them & have always considered these to be a traditional treat that can be made from scratch in a matter of minutes. Not to mention, they are inhaled quicker than they actually take to make. They never do last very long when a batch is homemade & my free hand goes a little crazy with the marshmallows. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day I made a slight change to these treats by adding in candy corn. They turned out amazing. One slight ingredient change can make such a huge difference in the final product.

Hershey Kiss Love Buttons #ValentinesDay

Jan 14

My sweet tooth is becoming more and more apparent lately. I blame it on Pinterest & all of the delicious baked treats I see people pinning. I love when I find a sweet & salty snack that’s not only yummy but extremely easy to make. For a while now I have been meaning to make these little “Love Buttons” which include a medley of pretzels and milk chocolate. They are beyond simple to make & the assembly takes no time at all. I do have to warn you that they are incredibly addicting and there is no way… NO WAY… you can get away with eating only one. I tried. I failed. I made another batch.

Perfectly Peachy Pineapple Smoothie With Bigelow Tea

Sep 11

Before the year began I had a solid list of resolutions and changes that I vowed to stick to, no matter how tough the temptation. One of these being my love, addiction, and urge to drink the fizzy beverage known as soda. Does anyone really stick to their resolutions and promises for more than a few weeks, maybe even days? I know what you’re thinking, it’s almost impossible to keep the willpower going strong! For me it was easier said than done. While I never paid attention to the unhealthy affects of soda, I came to realize that there were other options that would quench my thirst without harming my body. This is why I started drinking tea, hot and cold. Whether it’s fruit flavored or green, the brand that I prefer is Bigelow Tea.

Dec 02

HOLY GUACAMOLE, it has been one busy week! It was full of delicious food, holiday decorating, shopping, and baking. Thanksgiving came and went quicker than expected. After enjoying leftover turkey sandwiches and heaps of stuffing everyday, we all agreed that we could use an alternate meal with a kick. Thank goodness a big package of tasty Wholly Guacamole and Cabot Cheese arrived at my doorstep just in time. Wholly Guacamole was kind enough to provide me with a cooler full of a variety of guacamole, salsas, and Cabot cheese. They also sent a cutting board, cheese cutter, and other cute accessories representing their brand. After making a few phones calls to close family friends, a “Taco Tuesday” night was in the works. Do you enjoy taco nights with your family? You may want to stick around to the end because you could win a prize pack just like the one I received!

Sep 29

Home cooked meals are few and far between these days. With all of the fast food chains, TV dinners, and restaurants, we tend to forget how nice it is to sit down and have a meal at home with our family. It has crossed my mind, that at some point we just think dinner is too darn hard and too time consuming to take care of each night. Recipes can be over complicated, long, and boring. These are some of the reasons author Amanda Haas joined forces with Cooking Light to create the “Real Family Food” cookbook. This unique cookbook contains 150 recipes to inspire families to return to the kitchen table!

Savory Saturday: Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings + Red Pepper Sauce!

Sep 23

Tonight was “Savory Saturday” at my house thanks to the black hole of amazing-ness known as PINTEREST! Earlier today I came across a mouth watering recipe from a talented blogger named Jackie at Domestic Fits. Check her out because she has endless recipes from appetizers to desserts. She has inspired me to be creative in the kitchen and think outside of my recipe box! I followed her recipe for Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings with Red Pepper Dipping Sauce and hoped that mine would turn out just as delicious as hers looked! This recipe will satisfy your sweet and savory cravings. While the outside is sweet and crunchy, you will experience a spicy tang with each bite. These were so delicious! The best part was the crispy brown sugar coating on the outside. Looking for something new to serve on Football Sundays? THIS IS IT!
