I love Nutty Buddy ice cream cones. My favorite part was the chocolate coating with the nuts. Am I the only one that took the nuts on the bottom of the bag and poured them onto the ice cream? I am so excited to make these cupcakes. I might actually sprinkle some sugar cone to the frosting before dipping.

Some of these energy bites just don’t sound healthy, not that I’m complaining. Although, when you think about what you crave when you are hungry, the names seem just about right. I’m all about the easy snack or quick breakfast and love either a smoothie or energy bites. Of course I would much prefer a cinnamon roll, but I’m trying … Read More ...
As the saying goes, “An apple a day, keeps the Dr. away”. I’m pretty sure they don’t mean having the apples like this. Fall is the start of my baking season and that begins with an apple pie, apple sauce, cupcakes and now these. I love apples and caramel together. It is just a wonderful combination, especially when you use … Read More ...
These cupcakes so kawaii! What is kawaii? It is an adjective in Japanese for cute, pretty, charming and is used by anime, manga and Hello Kitty fans. These will put a smile on anyone’s face. They are almost too cute to eat, but I’m sure the kids won’t have a problem. These would be cute for a girl’s or boy’s … Read More ...
I know exactly who to make these cupcakes for, myself included. If you mention this recipe, the kids will put down their electronics and come running. Which really wouldn’t be a bad thing. These would be great for any birthday party or dessert for a team dinner. You can make them with your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe or use a … Read More ...
I don’t want summer to end, but I do love when the weather gets a little chilly. I can bake, make soups and chili again. This is definitely going to be added to my list of soups to make. This can be made with leftover chicken and I bet the flavors are better the next day.

I try not to do pumpkin recipes till after Labor Day, because I am in denial that summer is ending. Plus, I’ll be struggling with Fall ideas before the season is over. Fall will be here soon and so will the pumpkins and apples. I love fall, just don’t like the long winters that come afterwards. If you are ready … Read More ...
When I first saw this picture, I thought brilliant idea. Put the ice cream on top of the cupcakes, best of both worlds! Then I realized it was just the frosting scooped to look like ice cream. Still brilliant, but way too much frosting for me! This is really cute and the kids will love it.

Couples are getting so creative nowadays to let you know they are pregnant and the gender of the baby. When I was pregnant, I just made a phone call to both parents to start the phone tree. The same when we found out what gender the baby was. These would be great if you are having a gender reveal party … Read More ...
This cake looks like a hot mess and it’s meant to be that way. My kind of cake! I’m not big on perfection and I’m lazy, so my desserts look like a hot mess rather than something from the bakery. At least you know it is homemade! Or semi-homemade. Why not let the kids decorate the cake and see what … Read More ...
Soon it will be apple picking time, and that means apple pies and possibly this cupcake. I’m not ready for summer to end yet, but I do love the fall weather. We won’t discuss what comes after that! I love cooler days and nights and I love to start baking again. This would be a great recipe for back … Read More ...
Granola
is great for breakfast or something to snack on. This granola can be made in the slow cooker, but not one you can leave to cook by itself. You will actually have to stir this every 30 minutes. Probably something to make while you are cooking other items. It seems daunting, but you have to keep an eye on … Read More ...
Now here is a really sneaky way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Seriously, I might eat these to get my daily intake of veggies! It’s like a smoothie in a popsicle form. You can get the sleeves from Amazon or just use your popsicle forms. Holly has created three different popsicles to try and if you need … Read More ...
No bake in these hot days of summer! No bake in general is good for me, plus this recipe is gluten free. I’m sure if you wanted to make it with non gluten-free products, you could. You can also use almond butter instead of Nutella. Why not use both? I have some graham crackers leftover from s’mores, so I think … Read More ...
I love dogs and have given you a couple of recipes to keep your dogs cool this summer and new treats. Honestly, I am a cat person! I have had cats as long as I can remember. It just works better in a small house and backyard. Plus, I swear the two cats we have now, were dogs in a … Read More ...
