Chocolate covered Oreos look like something you'd order from your favorite Etsy seller. They're also shockingly easy to make at home. Baby B and I made our first batch for our back to school party. I used the same method to make chocolate covered googly eye Oreos for...
It is almost fruit pizza season in our house — we always make an American flag fruit pizza for Memorial Day and the 4th of July. And that gave Baby B the idea of creating a shark cookie cake version of fruit pizza. I was all on board because: shark gummies are yummy...
Every fall, my mom made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, a treat we looked forward to all year. They also quickly became of favorite of my girls. This will sound weird, but we've started feeding one of our dogs a little pumpkin at breakfast, so I've had these cookies...
I am all about a simple, no-bake dessert for parties. It's good for my budget and creative itch to make a little something myself for any dessert table. Working on the Farm Party Plan stirred up the inspiration for Pigs in Mud Pudding. Think: rich chocolate pudding...
For our Mini New Year's Eve Celebration, I thought it would be fun to have a signature drink — but for kids. Then my friend Beth reminded me of my Grinch Soda Floats that have become a tradition in her family, which I could not love more, and I found my inspiration....
Do you ever see something yummy at the grocery store, but you're not sure what to do with it? That's how I felt about butter waffle cookies every time I went into Sprouts. If you don't know what they are, butter waffle cookies look exactly like waffles, but they are...
For the weather themed part of my daughters' birthday party, I hit on the idea of cloud popcorn. Sweet and salty is a can't lose combo in my book and I had all the ingredients on hand. Cloud popcorn is a lot like Rice Krispies Treats, but even easier to make and not...
Any excuse for a brownie bite! I loved the fun ghost brownie bites I made for Halloween last year, and it occurred to me that I could just as easily make Christmas tree brownie bites. Christmas tree brownie supplies Brownie bites Green cupcake frosting Mini M&Ms...
I'll probably never be a cookie decorator with a piping bag full of royal icing, BUT, I can swipe on frosting and add googly eyes! And you can too and so can your kids! Here's how to make turkey cookies for Thanksgiving, even if you're like me and have no decorating...
I love a cute desert and don’t mind paying for them, but I’m also very much into saving a little money. One of the easiest treats for your Halloween party is to find pre-made desserts that are white or beige. A little melted chocolate, some googly eye candy plus...
When we had our 4th of July ice cream social, I had the idea to make candy dipped ice cream cones, but everybody wound up making ice cream Sundays instead. Still I had the candy melts, so here’s how to make candy dipped ice cream cones. Candy Dipped ice Cream cone...
Y’all, I love a pun. I’m as corny as a dad joke. Anyway, I guess I also have a thing for Shark Week and shark parties, so I thought: how fun would it be to put together a sharkcuterie board full of candy and desserts? Here's how to make a sharkcuterie board for your...
It’s amazing where trying to re-organize your pantry will lead you. Pulling everything out made me realize I still have three cans of pumpkin that I had to do something with. So I turned to an old favorite recipe, pumpkin gingerbread thumbprint cookies. This recipe...
I’ll never tire of excuses to eat brownie bites. Here’s an easy way to dress up brownies for Halloween: no-bake ghost brownie bites! Bonus: the kids can help. Extra bonus: no baking! No-Bake Ghost Brownie Bite Supplies Brownie bites White cake frosting Candy eyes...

I'm not sure how Christmas Crack got it's name, but I could for sure eat it all year long. So why not? Here's how to make 4th of July Saltine Cracker Toffee. All you need to do is switch to white chocolate chips and add patriotic sprinkles. Amazon link in this...
If you're looking for a no-bake dessert in the heat of the summer, give layered Jell-O a try. It takes several hours to assemble, but most of that time is just waiting for the Jell-O to set up in the fridge. You can even make your Jell-O "fancy" by pouring it on an...
My mother makes pumpkin chocolate chip cookies each fall and they are coveted by all. (I believe my brother still receives a batch in a care package at least once a year.) This year, I've got canned pumpkin left over from our pie baking party, so guess what we're...
