Are you looking for a fast and easy Easter cupcake idea? All you need to make these cute chicks are the basics: a little food coloring, canned frosting, yellow cupcakes, coconut, some edible eyeballs, and M&M's. It's a quick one, that you can do on the fly at...
I’d never tried PBFit before and was offered a free sample to test. All opinions are my own, but the recipe is yours to share. Y’all, these are so good that The Beast barked at them for a solid 2 minutes because he wanted a bite. Or 12. Or the whole pan. ...
Super simple candy corn snack mix that is quintessentially fall! Only two ingredients! Just blend together, set on the counter and watch it disappear.
You know it's winter when you see rainbow boxes full of girl scout cookies with shivering little girls peeking over the tables outside all the local Walmarts, Lowes, and Krogers. Yes, Girl Scout cookie season is an annual tradition and the troops love your support --...
I don't know about you, but pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving go hand in hand for me. I'm almost superstitious about it, on par with having to eat black-eyed peas and pork on New Year's Day. I feel like the holidays are off to a terrible start if my pumpkin pie isn't on...
I’m a little obsessed with this dessert I just made. So it started when Fillables sent me these awesome non-stick baking pans to review. They come in two parts, making filling your baked goods a breeze. (Click image for more info - affliate link) I’ve used them in our...
This post brought to you by Unilever brands. Although sponsored, all opinions are my own. I make a pretty mean banana bread. It’s to the point where my family won’t touch a single ripe banana in our house because they know if they just wait a few more days, I’ll have...
Sponsored post by Lunchbox. All opinions and recipe are my own. One thing I remember most about summers growing up in Ohio, was how much ice cream was a part of it. Whether it was ice cream from the family-run neighborhood drive up, the franchise on the hill, or a...
The marketing professional in me is so intrigued by nearly simultaneous dual release of video game and movie, Ratchet & Clank. If you’re a PS2 gamer, you’re probably pretty excited about this new version of the wildly popular eponymous game. Originally issued 14...
Harry Potter is a pretty big deal around our house, so when the Cupcake was turning 8, this mom knew exactly what cake to conjure up for a magical Harry Potter birthday theme. I found a butterscotch cake on the Pinterwebs and despite my hesitation to try a new recipe...
This is a make-ahead French Toast recipe that gets requested from me year after year! I like to give it as a gift to friends so that they don't have to cook on Christmas or New Year's morning. It's a delicious and easy treat to give and by all means, make one for...
I love baking with booze. Even better, how about a no-bake boozy ball that’s perfect for the holidays? Actually, it’s perfect for whenever really. I created this recipe recently for a cookie exchange and I liked them so much, I made them again for a client party. You...
My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, must've been horrified when she figured out her son was in love with a Yankee. She tried her best to Southernize me -- with marginal success. After 24 years as a Southern resident, I think I'm fully entrenched, (Big Daddy would...
In our house, Mardi Gras is a holiday. It has a dedicated storage bin in the attic solely dedicated to it alone. We’ve even been known to decorate a tree for it. We may be too old and lazy to drag ourselves down to St Charles Street to claim optimal...
