A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
You asked for it, so let’s do it.. Here is a round up of recipes from bakers and bloggers that feature treats that are a bit lighter, a bit lower in fat and even a bit healthy! Let the lower guilt recipes begin… Low Fat Lemon Drop Cupcakes From Dashing Dish Light Chocolate Bundt Cake With Coffee Glaze From Tracey’s Culinary Adventures Pina Colada Cupcakes From Skinny Taste Peanut Butter Pie From Cooking Light At My Recipes Low Fat Chocolate {Read More}
Here is a fun idea that is really easy and oh so cute. Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats! My daughter was giddy when she saw them, and I have to admit, they are super cute in person. These would be a fun after school treat for the first day of school or a great party snack or party favor, especially with a rainbow theme. Here’s a previous post on how I make my chocolate covered Rice Krispy Treats. Think of the {Read More}
Around this time every year, I start craving fall. I love fall. It’s my favorite time of year. I want to put a pot of chili on the stove and some pumpkin pies in the oven. I want to decorate with jack o lanterns, plant mums and plan costumes while wearing a sweater and cozy boots. But then I remember that I live in Phoenix, that it’s 149 degrees and that fall is probably six months away. And with {Read More}
While we do not follow a gluten free diet in my home, we do have a number of friends who either have gluten allergies or celiacs, or follow a gluten and casein free diet. I know there are a number of readers who are always looking for gluten free recipes, so I figured I would do a gluten free recipe collection. Even if you do not eat gluten free, trust me, check out these recipes. Any thoughts or ideas I {Read More}
While one may think that we eat chocolate covered pretzels and cake pops morning, noon and night around here, the reality is a little bit healthier. I have some very picky eaters, so I’m always trying to find recipes that blend child friendly taste and some healthy mom approved goodness. And when I say I have picky eaters, I mean PICKY. My eight year old will spend 15 minutes looking over a food before trying it. I like to think {Read More}
After putting together the Samoa Recipe Collection, I was craving a chocolate, caramel & coconut concoction (to say the least). I wanted to come up with something simple, and pretzels are my go to ingredient for simple. The result was chocolate, coconut & caramel covered samoa inspired pretzels. These came together very easily, and tasted insanely good. You only need a few things… Pretzels, melting chocolate, coconut and caramel (I prefer the Kraft Caramel Bits). And Pam (or some other {Read More}
While putting together all of these fun recipe collections, I keep coming across the most amazing looking cheesecake recipes. For some reason cheesecake intimidates me. I hear terms like “water bath” and shut down. Some days I can barely get my kids bathed, so getting a bath for a cheesecake seems like an unobtainable goal at best. But I’ve seen SO many recipes that just look like decadence on a dish, that I think I’m going to give in and {Read More}
This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! How adorable is this Scentsy Cupcake Wamer? Super cute, and I’m super excited that Scentsy Escential Consultant, Becky Huang is going to give one away to one of my readers, along with the Scentsy Scent Of The Month ~ Birthday Cake (perfect for a July birthday girl like myself!). Becky sent me one to try and I was very impressed with the quality (my fist time trying Scentsy) and the scent {Read More}
Marshmallows. There is something so simple yet so delish about marshmallows. Let’s see what kind of fun things bakers and bloggers have whipped up with marshmallows… My personal contribution (and possibly one of the greatest things I can think of eating) are my chocolate dipped, caramel covered marshmallows – inspired by the amazing Tigger Tails at Disneyland (Pooh’s Corner – you have my heart). Here are what others have done with marshmallows… S’More Cookie Bites With Homemade Marshmallows From Ice {Read More}
It is no secret I love a sweet and salty combo. With it being summer and s’mores the popular snack of the moment, I thought it would be fun to make a salty version using pretzels. I’m a big fan of pretzels, and use them often when I’m making treats. These are easy to make and really tasty. All you need is pretzels, marshmallows, chocolate bars for inside the s’more and melting chocolate for the outside if you want to {Read More}
I’m so glad that everyone is enjoying the recipe round ups. I am always in awe of all of the amazing recipes, photos and ideas that bloggers come up with and excited to share what I come across. This post features one of my favorites, white chocolate. I love white chocolate, especially when combined with something salty. This was one of the more challenging recipe collections to put together. Maybe it’s because many times white chocolate isn’t the star of {Read More}
After drooling over all of the amazing chocolate peanut butter recipes, I had to whip up something of my own. I was planning on making my favorite chocolate chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, but when I pulled out my Reese’s peanut butter cups, they were a little, uh, melted, and were not unwrapping very nicely. That’s Phoenix in the summer for you. To clarify, they were in my cupboard, it’s not like I was storing them in the garage (though {Read More}
