**The free download days are over, but these Real Life Legal™ books are still a great resource if you’re looking for some legal info but aren’t sure if you need to involve a lawyer.** Hello readers! I’m excited to tell you guys about this because it’s something I’ve been working hard on, as has my mother. […]
My friends and I were doing dinner and a movie one night, Parenthood, back during stone fruit season so I’m sorry this is super late, and I wanted to make a dessert that went with meatloaf. The hostess suggested a peach pie, so here we are. I decided to use the basic recipe I used […]
I made another cereal bar, I know you’re shocked! This particular experiment involved Reese’s Puffs Cereal. I wanted to enhance them, a la the s’more bars, so I added a drizzle of peanut butter and chocolate over the top. Yummers. Now, I will admit, these weren’t my favorite because the cereal didn’t have as much crunch […]
So in my never-ending quest to see how different cereals work within the parameters of a Rice Krispie Treat recipe, I decided to try out some Cinnamon Toast Crunch. (Previously I’ve experimented with Fruity Pebbles and Golden Grahams.) These were pretty bombtastic, as some people say. I wanted to enhance the cinnamon and french-toasty flavors, […]
I don’t know when or how I got into my head that I wanted to make pastry cream, but I did. Probably because it’s summer, and a fruit tart sounds so nice this time of year. Of course, I didn’t actually have the patience to bake a tart crust, but that’s neither here nor there. There’s […]
As I promised in my post about Fruity Pebble Treats, I wanted to play around with different cereals to make different kinds of bars. One day, the idea for a S’more bar hit me, so I experimented. I used the basic recipe you’d use for the other treats, but added a little bit extra for […]
What do you do when you’ve offered to bake something for a White Trash Bash, and have no idea what’s considered a “white trash” dessert? You do a Google search, duh. When these White Trash Bars came up on Twin Dragonflies Designs, I knew it was a sign. These bars are pure sugary goodness, and there are only […]
A friend of mine, who is a nominee as mom of the year in my book, recently threw a Star Wars-themed birthday party for her now 6-year old son. This woman does nothing halfway – there were different stations for the kids to make things – making Jabba Goo, a homemade play-dough station (she pre-made it all in every […]
I’ve had this recipe from Food Network stored away for awhile. Years, actually. And one morning, before a cookout a few weeks ago, I couldn’t handle the thought of baking something, so I turned to these. How can you go wrong; chocolate and peanut butter? Less than 15 minutes to make? I was sold. Bonus – I had […]
With leftover Cookie Butter from the Jessiesaurus Cookies, and a birthday party coming up, I opted to try a new recipe, rather than make another batch of the stuffed cookies for the same group of people. After doing a search for “cookie butter cookies,” my eyes first went to this post by Buzzfeed, and I ended […]
