Wow…how was your weekend? Long weekends are great, except when Tuesday comes around disguised as a Monday… And then Tuesday morning you end up doing Monday things… Like run a...
Sometimes things don’t turn out as planned. It happens to the best of us. This was not supposed to be a giant cookie in a skillet. Nope. It was supposed to be a jacked-up, cobbler-ish type-deal...
Sometimes inspiration runs dry. It does. I wonder how many possible combinations of butter, sugar and candy I can possibly make, eat, write about and photograph. And some days…like recentlyR...
Salad. It’s not my favorite food group. I eat it because you’re supposed to. BUT I also have to say when I eat salad, I generally load it up with things like cheese, and bacon and ranch d...
Hi Friends! I don’t know if I told you but a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be asked to judge a recipe contest held by Smucker’s. The rules of the contest were the contestants had to...
This morning I told my 6 year old that he was going to get a haircut after school. I have been saying this for the past week and a half. But weirdly, as of late, he has been balking at the idea of ge...
This post is not for the faint of heart. So if you’ve ever been known to utter the phrase, “that’s much too rich” or “oh, that’s too sweet”, you have no busi...
I hope you all had an amazing Mother’s Day. My husband got me the earrings that I posted about here! It seems as though he does pay attention. I think I will start making wish lists and putting...
Hey Guys! Popping in on this Saturday to give you guys something fun! The folks over at Teflon© want to give you guys a baking prize. I have been a Teflon© user for a long time, sometimes havi...
Sometimes I like simple things. A hug from my kids. A good book. Sleeping in. And while I make crazy desserts with lots of stuff put in them, sometimes I just like a simple cookie. With citrus...
There are a bunch of things that I have always wanted to do in life. I won’t be as dramatic to say they are a bucket list… I won’t think I missed out on life if I didn’t get t...
This whole weekend was a bit of a blur. Not the college weekend or spring break type of blur…grow up, y’all. The kind of adult-blur where you are driving to and from sports games for your...
What’s the food that you eat to completely undo it? And by undo it I mean, UNDOOOOO it. Undo your brain, undo your diet…just undo it. Well, listen here, friends. I have made you so...
Things I swear I will never do again: Tell myself on Saturday that “starting MONDAY I will only eat vegetables and drink water until I reach my goal weight”. Which usually plays out like ...
I have decided that I am not fancy enough to be driven anywhere by a “driver”. I know that sounds pretentious, and it’s not like it happens all the time. But when I AM being driven ...
This week has been fun. What could be bad about a week filled with graham crackers, milk chocolate and marshmallow in various forms? Let’s take a look back, shall we? Sunday we started w...
So today is the last s’mores treat I have for you. While I have about a trillion other s’mores ideas, my peanut butter cups are getting jealous. And no one likes an angry peanut butter cu...
I don’t presume to think that everyone who comes to visit me here on my internet space actually READS what I write. I am sure the majority of people don’t, actually. A quick glance at the...
Sometimes I have irrational fears. The kind of fear that makes no sense to a level headed person… For example, those creepy commercials and birthday cards of dogs with human teeth. Who d...
It was like, a major duh that I would make a krispie treat inspired by s’mores. I don’t deviate too much from my comfort zone. And since marshmallows are an integral part of a krispie tre...
Ok, so this week we’re gonna do S’mores. And by we, I mean me. I have a different S’mores-inspired treat lined up for you everyday this week… What can I say? I was ins...
I have great ideas for weekend breakfasts all the time. I think about how on Saturday morning I am going to wake up and make a giant stack of pancakes, or dust off the waffle maker, surprise my kids...
Sometimes things just come together. Now is then. Or then is now. Whatever, it’s happening. Like that time I put a Reese’s inside an Oreo or turned Bugles into Santa Hats…so...
There’s this new invention called facebook. Have you heard of it? People say it’s taking the internet by storm. There’s also this new bonus to facebook too, that I’m no...
There is no reason to make these cookies. No reason at all. Honestly, Nutter Butter cookies are perfection in their current, packaged gloriousness. Ask my husband, he’ll tell you. He is...
We are smack dab in the middle of Spring Break up here in NJ. Which means my kids are hanging around, asking to be fed, wanting to do crafts and making unnecessary messes all around. Sometimes...
Yesterday I was all, enjoy the day because the diet starts tomorrow. It was a holiday after all, and calories don’t count on holidays. I am basically a scientist, so I know this to be true. I ...
I can’t believe I am doing fruit to you people again. Please don’t hate me. I will be back at candy next week, trust me on that! BUT in the meantime, I whipped up these super easy ...
My husband has been watching these shows lately about people who are preparing for the end of the world. Doomsday Preppers. Are you familiar? They have like whole secret bunkers built underground fil...
I finally went and saw The Hunger Games this weekend with my book club girls. To plan any sort of outing with my lady-friends it requires no less than 7 million emails back and forth. That’s no...
