This year I thought it would be fun to have a little Gratitude Giveaway here at Sweet Treats & More to celebrate a few of the things I’m grateful for. So, for the next 5 days I’ll be posting something I’m grateful for along with a little giveaway to go with each! Be sure to follow…
Slow Cooker Beef & Sweet Potato Stew
We spent several days playing at the park this week enjoying 70 degree weather. In November. My cheeks got a little sun-kissed. My two year old was in shorts. And we played to our little hearts’ content, or as much as we could until nap time. But now we’ve got a storm comin’ in. Rain and…
Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Butterfinger Frosting
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…
Pepper Jack Cheeseburgers with Jalapeńo-Cumin Relish
The other day I sent a picture of this burger to Brett just before five. With it, I said, “Will this get you home quicker?” To which he responded, “Looks good. What’s in it?” I expected to read words of groveling, oohing and ah-hing, and you’re the best wife ever- leaving now, double explanation point. But I…
Post Trick-or-Treating Chili Recipe Roundup
Growing up we always had Chili for our post Trick-or-Treating meal. I grew up in southern Colorado and it was usually freezing cold come October 31st…sometimes even snowing. It was typical to wear layers of clothes, beanies, and gloves under our costumes to try and stay warm. By the time we’d get home our fingers…
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…
StickyGrams {10 % off your order}
Are you guys on Instagram? Of course you are…everyone is. I’m slightly addicted. I probably post an obnoxious amount of pictures of my boys, because I’m completely biased and think they’re the cutest in the world (most of the time–my two year old might be the naughtiest at times too;). But also because they make…
Incredible Hulk Pancakes
Imagine you are a two year old, real-life superhero. You fly around in a cape, kill bad guys with your magic webs, giant hammer, and fight them off with your powerful shield all day long. One minute you are Spiderman, the next-Captain America, Batman, and then- the Incredible Hulk! And somewhere in between you might…
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…
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes
I hope you guys aren’t getting sick of pumpkin yet. Because I can’t seem to stop. And we still have the rest of October, and November, and December to enjoy it. Right? So glad you agree. Because everyone needs a little pumpkin in their pancakes. I made these for dinner this week….
