Cadbury Chocolate Chip Cookies
Easter is TOMORROW & Cadbury Chocolate Chips Cookies are the perfect treat. I don’t know about y’all but the great “Quarantine of 2020” has really thrown off my calendar and time frames in general. I just realized I never posted these amazing cookies for your Easter (at home) Celebrations. Good thing is they are super quick to make!! Cadbury Egg Fun! Since I was a little kid I have always loved the Cadbury Eggs. I just love the crunchy shell with the chocolate inside. I also love the pastel colors! I have used them as a centerpiece on my table, as a fun snack or in cookies like these or…

Cookies & Cream Blondies
I am a BIG Blondie fan. I just love how the brown sugar caramelizes to make each bite better than the last. To make these blondies extra special I added in a few favorites, Oreos and Sprinkles! A little extra Blondies are definately good on their own but when you add in a little something extra they become AMAZING. The add-in options are truly endless. You could add in candy such as snickers or peanut butter cups. You could add in nuts or pretzels. You could mix in additional chocolate chips such as semi-sweet, butterscotch or dark chocolate. For these blondies I decided to go with oreo cookies, sprinkles…

When it comes to big family dinners the menu cam sometimes become a little overwhelming, but do not fear I am here to help. Below you will find a little something for everyone…including my favorite DESSERT! Fluff, first First let’s start with one of my brother’s favorite, Pistachio Fluff.

no rollin here for these sugar cookies…
Summer is here. The kids are almost out of school (or maybe they already are) and that means it is time to BAKE! What do you like to bake int he summer…how about cookies? How about no roll sugar cookies? OK perfect…lets start there!! I just love the light texture of the cookie with the sweet frosting that is colored in all the best summer colors…or any colors you want. No rolling here The one problem I have with frosted sugar cookies though is that most of them require you to refrigerate them, then roll them out, then bake them, let them cool then finally frost them. Now I understand that they are totally…

bacon green bean casserole-yes I said bacon
Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you are either a fan of green bean casserole or you are not…it’s really that simple. I have always landed on the not a fan side of this debate but my brother, James, is a HUGE green bean casserole fan and asks for it every holiday…but this year it was time to take it to the next level. For my brother Most of the time my sis-in-laws mom will make it for him, but for Easter I decided to take on his request but to make it in a way that I (and the other non-lovers) would love as well.…

a little late to the carrot cake table…
I asked some of my family a few weeks ago what they wanted for Easter desserts and surprising to me a couple of them mentioned carrot cake. Now this may not be so surprising to many of you, but to me it was as I don’t ever remember this cake EVER being on our Easter buffet…EVER!! It is so much more than just a cupcake And just to make things more fun, I have never even had a bite of carrot cake, so from the start this was going to be a super fun dessert to take on. OK, now I know it is crazy that I am in…

Pistachio fluff?? Yes, please
Growing up there is one side dish that I always remember being on almost every Holiday table…Pistachio Fluff Salad. I also remember that I was never a big fan of it (I didn’t like anything green as a kid) but I knew that everyone else LOVED it). Fluff…yes please!! As I was thinking about our family Easter dinner this year I kept thinking about that green stuff that everyone seemed to love, (& my brother asked for it) so I decided it was time to make it. Now as I am sure you have realized a lot of childhood memories are a little distorted being that they are from…

Easter is this weekend and that means it is time to start planning the menu and trust me this ham is a must have for your Easter get together. I don’t know about your family but Easter always mean ham to us. We used to buy it from that Honey Baked place and it was crusted with this delicious sweet crust and as delicious, but also expensive so this Easter I decided to try to fix one myself. No oven needed There are tons of ways to fix a ham. Some recipes call for maple syrup, some for pineapple slices, or pineapple juice, while other just have a spice rub…for me I…
