Grab a Spoon + Giveaway!

Dannon Oikos Yogurt With Pineapple

While this may be a sponsored post, I must start by saying I truly believe what I’m writing. Dannon Oikos Greek 0% Fat Plain Yogurt is a staple at my house. As long as I have Oikos yogurt in the fridge, all I need to do is grab a spoon, and I have a healthy…

The Easiest Homemade Doughnuts

EasyHomemadeDonuts

In honor of National Doughnut Day today our family had delicious homemade donuts with breakfast! What?! You’ve never heard of National Doughnut Day? I hadn’t either until a few weeks ago, but don’t worry it’s not too late to use this greatest excuse to eat a bunch of doughnuts — you can celebrate tonight by…

Let’s Talk Butter!

Holiday Country Crock Creations

I think we mentioned that we’re right in the midst of party season, and we’re swamped. I’m certainly not looking for anything new to do, but when this opportunity for a sponsored post from Country Crock came into my inbox, and I saw the adorable free e-cookbook by Clare Crespo they just released (a few…

How to Whip Up a Trifle

Can I get a HOORAY for berry season? I must admit that I look forward to seeing the cartons of fresh strawberries, blackberries and raspberries piled up at the grocery store. I have my friend Debbie to thank for my favorite berry treat — she makes the most fabulous trifles, which are simple and perfect…

Lucky Green Healthy Snack

GreenSmoothiesForKids

In honor of the little leprechauns that will come around on St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve planned green afternoon snacks for the week. And, to my little boys, what could be a yummier snack than a green SPINACH smoothie?? Yup, I’m serious! See, a little while back Liam went to a Healthy Kids cooking class that…

Yummy Peppermint Crackle

Yesterday Bettijo posted her favorite Christmas treat, so we thought it would be fun for me to post mine today. My most favorite food is chips and salsa (and in my opinion that tops any treat I’ve ever had), but that didn’t seem quite appropriate to blog about just a few days before Christmas. So,…

My Favorite Christmas Treat

Christmas Corn Flake Wreath Treats

Today I am super excited to share my most favorite Christmas treat. I remember making these with my mom when I was a little thing, and they still tasted every bit as delicious when I made them with my girls this weekend! If I’m being brutally honest I think every variation on Rice Krispie treats…

Neighbor Gift Packaging

NeighborGiftPrintables

You’ve probably figured out by now that both Bettijo and I love packaging. I seem to be on a canning jar kick, so I needed to mix things up a bit — enter large white take-out boxes. I am now obsessed with these, too! By the way, if your town has a Smart&Final store you…

Festive Candied Cranberries

Festve Sugared Cranberries

Watch out! These candied cranberries are so addicting. Not only do they taste scrumptious, they look festive and are a unique and fun addition to any holiday gathering! Last year I made these for a snack to serve at our neighborhood Christmas cookie exchange. (Remember the homemade marshmallows?) Just about everyone who tasted the cranberries…
