Even though I love to bake, I like things that are easy to make. With three kids underfoot all the time, if the snack is easy to make AND the kids can help me at the same time, it is a huge bonus. So, it got me thinking. Why not combine craft time and snack …

Let me introduce you to Oreo Truffle Snowballs. I’m a huge fan of a delicious Oreo Truffle (aka Balls from Heaven!). They have been my #1 go-to dessert for the past few holiday seasons. This year I wanted to start the season with something different. As I was trying to think of kid-friendly holiday snack …
Looking for a great snack for the kids or a something to take to that party on Halloween? These Marshmallow Witches will be a hit with most kids. I’ve made them for a couple years now and they always turn out adorable. Marshmallow Witches Ingredients: 1/2 cup vanilla frosting, divided36 miniature semisweet chocolate chips12 large …
When you go on a cruise, there is an enormous amount of eating. I mean eating all day long, I-would-never-consume-that-many-calories-in-one-day kind of eating. I think because the food is included in your cruise fare, people seem to associate that with free food. Since people don’t think they are “paying for it” and they can eat …
One of my favorite go-to desserts for the holidays are Oreo Truffles (or as I call them – Balls from Heaven!). They are delicious, easy to make and I don’t know one person who doesn’t like them. They are great for cookie exchanges, holiday parties or any family get-together. Since my friends and family seem …
My holiday baking bonanza has already begun this year. That’s right, it starts before Halloween and doesn’t stop until after New Years. Yikes, that is a long baking bonanza! I’m really going to have to step it up at the gym to counteract all these goodies. Since Halloween is fast approaching, we thought we’d round …
One of my weekend treats for the family is french toast stuffed with bananas and chocolate chips. The kids don’t usually get chocolate in the morning so this is a real treat for everyone…who doesn’t love to wake up and eat chocolate? I was at Whole Foods, my home away from home, and I saw …
While I’m sad that summer is ending, I’m pretty darn happy that the kids have gone back to school. Before we really get into the swing of school activities, we took a quick trip to visit family over Labor Day weekend as one last summer fling. As I’ve told you guys before, there are a …
Who doesn’t love homemade chocolate chip cookies? I have one better….homemade whole-wheat banana chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious and a healthier version of an old classic. I add the baked bananas to the recipe to add moisture and a natural sweetness to the cookies. I must admit I used to make the ones that come …
I went to St. Louis to visit family a few weekends ago and that means – “let the baking begin”! I can’t go to visit them without whipping up something yummy and fabulous. It is just expected of me these days. The weather was beautiful and the pool temperature was just right, so I needed a …
My baby is THREE YEARS OLD today! *sob* Seriously, it’s all going so fast. I was just bringing him home from the hospital yesterday, right? He can’t be three. I’m completely rejecting it all. Even in my denial, I did make him a cake. I had to. It’s my thing to make a homemade, fantastic …
It has been blazing hot this week in Chicago so the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. This heat could last a while but that doesn’t mean my family doesn’t want dessert the rest of the summer. What better way to solve that than to make no-bake desserts?! I don’t …
