Who bought way more Girl Scout cookies than was strictly necessary this cookie season?  It can’t be just me.  Multiple co-workers have daughters begging; every retail store has a literal troop of miniature salesladies out front, manning their stations with youthful glow and aggression; & they are SO cute!!! I can’t just ignore them, but I already have SO many cookies, and once I make eye contact, I clearly can’t say no…. Problems, love these type of problems.  Girl Scout cookie problems.

I’ve literally ate 20 thin mints in a row and well I mean yes! I love them but there has got to be a more creative way for me to get all these cookies down oh believe me there IS!!! Thirst no more it’s time for Girl Scout Thin Mint Shots!!! Everyone will love you and the SHOTS for being such a genius!! Thank me later!

It was time to surprise my taste buds with a  Girl Scout cocktail.

These were so fun hope you love them!!! Thanks for coming by!!

I would call these little puffs of deliciousness and so much fun to make- and eat. Of course, you can take the swirly cute Unicorn Colors and mix up the colors and flavors to something different to match your party or holiday, but these are by far the best in my book (and a easy recipe) to top it off.

It’s a widely accepted fact that unicorns fart rainbows and glitter. I fully realize that this is a pretty bold statement to make, but it’s backed up by loads of writings on the internet, so it must be true. These sweet treats make for easy desserts or the perfect party treat!

Well now you have to give these a go, because they are just too fun and pretty to leave on the screen. Besides that, meringues are so much easier to make than people think. There are few ingredients and the technique is simple and requires no fussy tools. In fact, the only things you have to be mindful of are patience and knowing your visual cue of readiness.

Meringue (/məˈræŋ/,^[1]mə-rang; French pronunciation:  [məʁɛ̃ɡ]) is a type of dessert, often associated with French, Swiss, and Italian cuisine, made from whipped egg whites (or aquafaba) and sugar, and occasionally anacid such as lemon, vinegar or cream of tartar.e,

These get me every time I just love how they turn out and they are just too cute!!!

Have fun!!! Thanks so much for coming by!!

Are you looking to do something fun with the kids that doubles as a snack AND a craft? They will have so much fun making this Valentine Snack Craft! I will be doing this  fun activity for my daughters classroom Valentine’s Day party! She’s in 1st grade and I try to help out and do fun things as much as possible they will love it!! And it’s so cute to see them all.

Every winter I have my sisters and the kids over for a hot chocolate bar party and we have so much fun! I’m thinking I’m going to start this little treat as a fun tradition also. I like being the cool fun aunt and this will add a cute touch.

This awesome fun treat only has 4 items which makes my mom heart sing! Easy and simple to clean up yes please!! you can’t go wrong here! and I didn’t have a ton extra so no guilt about bundling it up and tossing it!

This was so easy as you can tell from the set up above! and while we were making these it gave me the idea I can do this same type of treat for every holiday just change it up a bit. Like for St. Patrick’s day I want to use green icing and lucky charms.

If you decide to do this fro a classroom party all these items can be purchased very cheap at your local dollar store that’s where all this came from. 

Let me know if you have any questions at all about this neat treat!! I love to see ya’ll try my creations show me if you do!! have fun! thanks so much for coming by! makes my day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Come on now! You guys all KNEW this one was coming, right?  and I made my most favorite flavor ever – cherry! Now, obviously you could use whatever flavor of extract your heart desires.  Strawberry, cherry, vanilla, rum, banana…you get the idea, yes?

Now if you’re like one of those super moms, you could totally make multiple flavors and be the talk of the town. Strawberry pink gummies, cherry red gummies, pina colada white gummies. Just threw that in there.

Now I want to make pina colada gummies. Shoot! or maybe be on the beach with a pina colada whatever you get the idea!

My kids LOVE these yes even more than the 50 varieties they have @ the grocery store. And when we have extra we always freeze a few and it’s the best late night guilt free snack ever!!

Now go try and let me know what you think!

[mpprecipe-recipe:53]

Around the holidays I’m always in the kitchen making and trying new creations. Well, my 7 & 3 year old beg to help and I normally don’t mind. But I finally found something that is just for them & this time they didn’t have to ask I asked them they were so excited!!! Told them it was a cooking day for them! I mean even if you’re not perfect with these they still come out super cute!!

These make the perfect holiday treat, but you could also use them for Birthday Parties, end of the School Year Party, Baby Shower, or you could make them in your favorite team colors for a Sports Party. The ideas are endless, and don’t limit yourself to Jolly Ranchers {of course, we love them} but any hard candy will work

These were so fun and turned out so well that we will be taking these to my daughter’s class and even some to the daycare! extra + they get to say they helped.

Have Fun with this!!! Merry Christmas!!

Fall is my favorite season. I love the mild weather, the gorgeous colors of the changing leaves, and the warm, comforting smell and taste of fall’s most popular flavor — pumpkin spice.

Of course, aside from the satisfying fall flavor, the best thing about Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is the coffee! When I said this cupcake is the edible version of a pumpkin spice latte, I meant it.

I haven’t made it a secret that I’m a coffee lover. I’ve been sharing recipes for this Nutella Frappuccino and this Hazelnut Frappuccino.

AND I have an espresso frosted brownie coming up soon! For me, the addition of coffee as an ingredient in my kitchen has been a wonderful part of my foodie creations.

I also love drinking it. (Daily)

And I’m equally obsessed with fall. as you can see since I’ve been baking up Pull Apart Pumpkin Bread and putting together Mini Indian Harvest Pumpkin bundles.

 These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes are a great copycat of the popular Starbucks fall drink. The pumpkin, coffee, and spices go together so well. And who can resist a cute cupcake with a fun straw?

Fall seems to be all about the Pumpkin Spice. While I love a piping hot coffee as much as anyone, what if you could combine all those flavors into a baked good?

Well I just did! These Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes  contain real pumpkin and a punch of real coffee. You may want to eat these pumpkin spice cupcakes for breakfast, and that’s fine with me. No judging here!

So now you can have your Pumpkin Spice Latte, and eat it too.

I hope that everyone enjoys these as much as we did! We’re looking forward full of pumpkin festivities this weekend. Hopefully, we’ll be painting/carving pumpkins, provided that we can find the perfect pick.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes 

 Ready to get started? Okay, first make sure you have all the necessary ingredients.

Ingredients Needed for the Cupcakes:

• 1 box of Perfectly Pumpkin Cake Mix
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter (softened)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup strong coffee
• Fall cupcake liners

Ingredients Needed for the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup room temperature butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 to 5 cups powdered sugar
• Paper straws and pumpkin pie spice for decoration

Step 1: Prepare

Before we get to baking, we need to preheat the oven (set it to 350 degrees). We also need to line two muffin tins with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make Cake Batter

Next, combine all of the cupcake ingredients EXCEPT the coffee in the bowl of your stand mixer. If you don’t have one, you can simply use a large bowl and regular hand mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth (about two minutes). Now it’s time to add the coffee. Stir it into the batter to slowly incorporate it.

Step 3: Bake Cupcakes

Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with the batter. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes. You’ll know the cupcakes are done when you can insert a knife into the center of one and it comes out clean.

Step 4: Prepare Frosting

Set the cupcakes aside on a wire rack to cool while you make the frosting.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed for 2 minutes using your machine’s whisk attachment. Then, add the vanilla extract and four cups of powdered sugar. If the frosting is too thin, slowly add more powdered sugar until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5: Frost Cupcakes

Make sure you let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them, otherwise, you’ll end up with a runny mess.

Once they’re completely cool to the touch, spoon the frosting into a Ziploc bag (you can also use pastry bags if you have them) and snip off the corner. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake.

Finally, insert a straw into each cupcake and sprinkle on some pumpkin pie spice.

Prefer the pumpkin spice mocha latte? You’re going to LOVE these Pumpkin Spice Mocha Latte Cookies!

Make pumpkin bread like this once and you’ll make it over and over! Imagine cinnamon rolls + pumpkin pie + an irresistible cinnamon glaze and you have this pull-apart pumpkin bread! This recipe is a hit everywhere it goes. Everything about it is good from the melt-in-your mouth soft centers to the glaze that melts into every groove. You’ll want this glaze on all your baked goods. It’s truly THAT AMAZING!

This is sure to become a Fall favorite in your home as well. The kids and adults love it and you don’t even have to slice it! Portions easily pull apart from the loaf to expose gorgeous swirls of pumpkin spice. P.S. Make extra and enjoy it when you wake up in the morning!!

If you’re still here, thank you. I’m glad. You won’t be sad, because this pull-apart loaf is to die for. It’s like eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, no joke.

This is an easy recipe, You start with a can of biscuits. The “pull-apart” is created when you slice each biscuit in half and stack them (with filling in the middle), then bake them in a loaf pan. You can pull apart the layers, hence the name.

I’ve also made pull-apart loaves with all kinds of ingredients. I love them – they’re so much fun (and, in the case of this one, so easy!)

The pumpkin mixture is just some canned pumpkin puree mixed with an egg for binding, sugar for sweetness, and spices. I used pumpkin pie spice because it’s just easier than pulling out all the other spices (I’m so lazy/smart).

I also dipped each slice of biscuit in cinnamon sugar before sandwiching them with the pumpkin mixture. It gives the layers a nice crunch, and then the entire thing is drenched with cinnamon glaze.

THE DRIZZLE:

Mix well heat a little and pour baby pour!!!

Hope ya’ll love this as much as we do!!! Enjoy make it a fall family tradition.

Do you like s’mores? I love them, but not always convenient to have a fire when you’re in the mood for one. These Easy S’mores Bars will help with those s’mores cravings.

These S’mores Bars are thick, chewy and delicious… and taste like s’mores and a chocolate chip cookie combined!

I know in the middle of the winter I’m totally going to be making these decadent bars. They taste just like a s’more but in more of a soft and chewy cookie bar form. They are over the top and melt in your mouth delicious!

Do you call them magic bars, S’mores bars or 4 layer bars? I grew up calling them four layer bars because of the four ingredients in the recipe. So, to stick to the 4 ingredients rule, these bars only have 4ingredients as well.

[mpprecipe-recipe:34]

Enter the world of the wonton cup. For a few bucks you can pick up a 50-pack of them in most grocery stores today and then you can fill them with all kinds of stuff. I’ve done spinach artichoke dip in the past, but I think these were even better and great for a special game day occasion.
