I had grand ambitions of baking a fancy madeira wine cake for each of my neighbors this year... guess how far I've gotten. I think, instead, I'm going to make a batch or two of these over-sized chocolate marshmallows with the kids and gift a few to each neighbor. I love Janssen's idea of putting them on a stick and adding them to a decorative bag filled with hot cocoa mix in the bottom! Psst one quick thing... Christmas is coming SOON, be sure to check out our SUPER POPULAR toy gift guide … [Read more...]
Gotta Try Dessert: Pumpkin Dump Cake
If you've never heard, can I introduce you to the concept of 'dump cake?' While the name is quite unflattering, the concept is genius!

Any time I have to make a dessert on the fly, it's a dump cake. This particular cake is of the pumpkin variety. And hold the term cake loosely, because this tastes like a pumpkin pie … [Read more...]
Healthy Snack: Chia Seed Granola Bark
I love recipes you can't mess up. Add a little bit extra, you're still good. Short on something, it's okay. This granola bark has all the good stuff, little bits of chocolate to entice the sweet tooth and is fool-proof. The granola bark has a similar texture to Nature Valley crispy granola bars. It's a little chewier, which I like, because who wants to break a tooth? You break the granola into pieces after its baked. Smaller pieces are great for topping yogurt. Bigger pieces … [Read more...]

Halloween Recipe: String Cheese Bones and Blood

7 Next Level Oktoberfest Recipes
Do you live in a neighborhood where families get together and hang out? Until a few years ago, I didn't. But then my husband and I moved our burgeoning family into a new house and somehow stumbled into a young family mecca. It didn't happen right away, when we first moved in there were only two or three families with young kids scattered around the neighborhood. Fast forward a few years, though, and suddenly there were about twenty. We have so many kids at our elementary bus stop now that … [Read more...]
