I decided to make trail mix for my kids but with Valentine’s day coming up, I wanted to put a little twist on it. I went to the store and bought a bunch of snacks with the color scheme of Valentine’s of red, white and pink. After making it, the mix looked so cute I…

The whole world seems to already be in Christmas mode, but with a 3 weeks to go, it only seems fair to give Thanksgiving some attention. I created these cute turkey donuts with my boys and they really are as fun to make as they are to eat. Set up a little table on Thanksgiving…

They were a hit and have since become one of my favorite cookies to…

Over the Christmas holiday I made this baked brie wreath. There was something about the flakiness of the crescent roll, gooeyness of the brie and salty crunch of the bacon that sounded so delicious. It was so easy to make and the presentation was just lovely. I knew I wanted to share it with you…

We eat pancakes A LOT in our house. They are quick and easy to make (especially when you use a box pancakes mix) and all three of my boys will eat them. I thought it would be fun to make special pancakes for Christmas morning. I did a trial run earlier in December to make…
