Halloween Spider Web Snacks
Lately Owen’s favorite song is The Incy Wincy Spider. He loves to make his little fingers crawl up the water spout like a spider. It is sooo cute. And I guess it’s fitting to sing a song about spiders around Halloween. I don’t think he’s ever even seen a real spider, but he…
Giveaway: One Year Supply of Stride Gum!!
THIS Giveaway is now closed! Thanks for participating! ————————————————————- I have a confession: I am a gum addict. I’m a constant gum-chewer, gum-buyer, and gum-begger. Okay, I don’t really beg for it, but I’m not afraid to ask. I’m not a halvies person either…I prefer the whole stick. (Unless of course it’s my…
Pumpkin-Oreo Cheesecake Bars
Pumpkin. Oreos. Cheesecake. The three are kinda made for each other. Don’t ya think? It rained this week, and then it snowed (SNOW! Really?) And then it rained some more. It was dark and gloomy and cold for three days straight. I think I wore the same pair of sweats three days in…
Oven-Baked Frito Pie
Thanks to Liz at Sweet Simplicity Designs, my site got a little makeover! It was long overdue and I love how it turned out. Thank you Liz! I’ve also moved to a new domain, sweettreatsmore.com. You should be redirected to the new site if you type in the old blogspot address, but you may…
High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
I’ve finally jumped on the Pinterest train and I’m seeing so many pumpkin flavored sweets it’s killing me! Re-pin. Re-pin. Re-pin. I feel myself gaining weight pin by pin. These High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes are one way to enjoy the taste of pumpkin this season without busting the waist-line. Of course they don’t compare to…
Cinnamon-Roasted Sweet Potato & Apple Salad with Caramel Vinaigrette Chicken (the best fall salad)
I am obsessed with this salad. I want to eat it every day. At least until I get sick of it. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get sick of the cinnamon-roasted sweet potatoes, apples, and the caramel vinaigrette chicken that goes into it. It’s like dinner (or lunch) and dessert in one big, beautiful…
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
I really want to tell you this cauliflower mac and cheese is healthy…because, you know, it has cauliflower in it. But all the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, sour cream…and then some more cheese that went into it, kind of ruined any chance it had of being healthy. So….sorry about that. But let me…
Caramel Apple Stacks
These caramel apple stacks are a fun twist on the classic fall favorite- caramel apples. Sliced apples are stacked on top of each other, each with a layer of thick caramel cream cheese (it’s really just a caramel apple dip) spread in between. Of course they need a generous drizzle of caramel sauce and…
Snickerdoodle Sheet Cake
I first tried snicker doodle cake at a good friend’s baby shower just a couple of weeks ago. It was a layer cake- and in between each layer, and slathered all over the top and sides, was the most amazing brown sugar cinnamon buttercream. I had that cake on my mind for…
Easiest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars Ever
I’m on the road today. We’re heading to Aspen, Colorado for the weekend to attend a wedding. I’ve never actually been to Aspen so I’m a teensy bit excited to spend some time there….and maybe see a celebrity or two vacationing there as well. Hopefully, I’ve got my nose in the book The Help because…
Italian Sausage and Veggie Pasta
Before I get too ahead of myself with fall recipes, I’ve still got three giant zucchinis I need to use up before they go bad. But I have no clue what to do with them. I’ve already made zucchini bread. And zucchini cookies. I’ve sauteed it, roasted it, and made a pretty tasty zucchini…
