My stomach was in knots all night last night anticipating the results of the election. Did anyone else eat their nerves in chocolate while glued to the television? Today, I’m on damage control…..carrots and celery for me (pffff!). I’ve had more than my fair share of chocolate and it’s only Wednesday. My…

{Super Easy} Apple Pie Sandwich Cookies & a Duncan Hines Giveaway!
A few weeks ago Duncan Hines sent me some samples of their new fall and holiday-inspired Frosting Flavor Creations. They have all sorts of fun flavor mix-ins for frostings– cotton candy, mint chocolate, orange cream, cherry vanilla, and new seasonal holiday flavors like apple pie and peppermint stick. Have you tried them? I used the…
Halloween Muddy Buddy Mix
Muddy Buddies are one of my favorite childhood treats. Only we called it puppy chow– and I’m not really sure why. I think my mom made it for every road trip we went on, and let me tell you, it didn’t last long in a car full of three boys and this food-lovin’-girl. I hadn’t…
Apple Cinnamon Cheerio Treats
Sometimes you just need a really simple, really quick treat to whip up. As simple as one bowl and a microwave. These Apple Cinnamon Cheerio Treats are perfect to make for an after school snack for the kiddos, great for an upcoming Halloween party, or treat to go…
Browned Butter Chunky Twix Cookies
These cookies are exactly the reason I shouldn’t buy bags of Halloween candy a whole month before Halloween. When I do, I eat entire bags at a time. Or throw them into cookies, eat those too, and then I’m left with nothin’ when the kids come-a-knockin’. But Twix bars might just be…
Chocolate Chip-Pecan Pumpkin Spice Pudding Cookies
I’ve made these cookies about five times in the last month. Because about a month ago I bought out the entire stock of Jell-O Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding at Wal-Mart. Mostly with intentions of making this Pumpkin Lust Cake a few times this fall. But that left me with about a dozen extra boxes of Pumpkin Spice Pudding. …

Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Didn’t you hear? It’s totally normal to eat cookies for breakfast. Especially if they are actually called breakfast cookies. But not to worry, they taste just like middle-of-the day, after-dinner, and late-night-snack kind of cookies. Meaning, you’re totally getting away with eating dessert for breakfast. I changed up this recipe from Bon Appetit…
Pumpkin Eclair Cake
I’m not really ready to say goodbye to the warm weather, our days at the pool, and my baby’s days of wearing just a onesie. But I’m liking the idea of fall, apples and cinnamon, hay rides and hot cocoa, and lots and lots of pumpkin. I got the pumpkin party started over the weekend…
