A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Thankfully I am not the only one who thinks that the combo of sweet and salty is a match made in heaven. And lucky for all of us there are a lot of GREAT recipes that bring this classic combo together in a variety of creative ways. Let’s check out the different types of salty sweet treats that bakers and bloggers are coming up with… I’ll start with one of my own, and it’s one of my favorites. Caramel & {Read More}
When it comes to frosting I very rarely, if ever, use a recipe. It’s one of those things that I just eyeball and it is probably a bit different each and every time I make it. I get quite a few requests for frosting recipes, so I figure I should probably share an actual recipe. Here is what most of my batches of frosting start off with… I loosely follow the recipe on the back of the C&H Powdered Sugar {Read More}
I am a big fan of teachers. BIG. We have three teachers in my family – my brother and two sister in laws. They are out there doing one of the hardest and most important jobs I can think of. They give of themselves in ways that can’t even be counted and plant seeds that will grow through the next generation. I truly think we need to appreciate teachers every single day and it’s great that we have a week {Read More}
I’ll admit it, I have very rarely made homemade ice cream. It’s kind of odd given that… 1. I have a great ice cream maker. 2. I have incredibly fond memories from childhood of my Dad making his homemade ice cream (in the big wooden ice cream making machine). 3. My kiddo asks me all the time to make some. I’m not sure why I don’t. I think it’s probably because most of the recipes have a lot of steps, {Read More}
One of my all time favorites sweet treats is the Rice Krispies Treat. There is something so simple and so delicious about them. They are incredibly easy to make and they make a fantastic base for creative recipes. You can cover them with chocolate. Put them on a stick. Shape and build with them. Stuff them with surprises. I’ve yet to try anything with them that hasn’t worked. I’ve shared quite a few recipes and ideas that use Rice Krispies {Read More}
I can’t believe Easter is this weekend. I feel completely unprepared – probably because my little one’s second birthday is also this weekend (which I am equally unprepared for). Time flies crazy fast! There are SO many cute and creative Easter ideas all around, that I had to share some of my favorites with an Easter Bites From Other Blogs. I’ll start with a few of my own Easter ideas… PEEPS Style Sugar Cookie Pops by Love From The {Read More}
While clearly there is liberal usage of butter and sugar on this blog, truth be told I do enjoy and try and use quite a few healthy recipes. My daughter’s lunch box isn’t packed full of cakepops, and much to her dismay it doesn’t include any desserts, except on her birthday. We don’t eat brownies for breakfast (though for the record, I find that completely acceptable) and there isn’t an all you can eat cupcake buffet after dinner each night. {Read More}
There are so many amazing bakers and bloggers out there, and I love sharing them with you through my Bites From Other Blogs posts. Today I thought I would share some of my favorite baking (and cooking) blogs with you. I love that so many women open up their kitchens and share their recipes, creativity and ideas. These are some of my favorite places to find great recipes that are tried, tested and true. I also love seeing everyone’s {Read More}
I recently came across the most amazing bundt cakes over at Cooking With Sugar. The only way I can describe them is that they look like a party on a plate – they are packed full of color, color and more color. And sprinkles. Check out her Valentine’s Day Melting Heart Bundt Cake – it’s g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. There is just something about these colorful bundt cakes that makes me feel like a kid full of cake excitement. My head is {Read More}
I’ve had had so many requests for my cinnamon roll recipe that I had to let you all know that it’s not mine, it’s the work of Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. And it is insanely delicious. I started making cinnamon rolls using this recipe a few years ago, and they have become a holiday staple. Ree’s recipe makes a TON of cinnamon rolls, which works well if you want to give them out or if you want to lock {Read More}
I’ll admit, I’m not a sports fan. But I am a snack and sweet fan, so I figured I would take a look at what other Bakers and Bloggers are doing for the Superbowl. Check out some of the awesome ideas and recipes! Super Bowl Sundaes From In Katrina’s Kitchen Peanut Butter Football Dip From Crazy For Crust Seriously, how cool is this dip???? Football Whoopie Pies From Make Merry Super Bowl Sunday Sugar Cookies From Crepes Of Wrath Super {Read More}
I sort of have a love hate thing with Valentine’s Day. On the love side… The color pink, and lots of it. Sparkly things. Chocolate. Cute little school parties. Hearts. Valentine Peeps. Did I mention pink? So many sweet treats. The remote possibility of a trip to Melting Pot compliments of my husband, to celebrate Valentine’s Day and our anniversary which is a month later. THE COLOR PINK. On the hate side… It is a Hallmark Holiday. A dozen grocery {Read More}
