I don’t think I’m alone in saying that when my sweet tooth strikes, it’s ON. That’s why when it comes to sweets and treats, portion control is my best friend. Last year, I started experimenting with cheesecake truffles around the holiday season and I stumbled upon the perfect antidote to my own sweet cravings, in…

Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Truffles
When it’s cold outside, a cup of hot cocoa is just the thing. But if you’re looking for something a little richer, a little more decadent, a little more dessert-y, these Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Truffles just might blow your mind. They only require a few ingredients – including 2 packets of that hot chocolate mix…
White Chocolate Orange Cranberry Bread
Holiday Baking Week 2017 is in full swing over here at our place, and once again I found myself with two bags of fresh cranberries in my fridge. Why do I always do that? I buy them with big plans, usually for a fresh, boozy cranberry sauce with lots of fresh orange zest, and then…
Maple Cinnamon Drop Biscuit Chicken Sliders
This drop biscuit recipe was written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. Hey, it’s Tyson® crispy chicken strips! Wait, what? Chicken from the freezer aisle at Target? Yup, I buy it. Life is busy, friends. Like, 15-minutes-between-getting-home-and-leaving-for-soccer busy. And have you ever really thought about how chicken…
Chipotle Avocado Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Our AvoKids party and Avocado Stuffed Tomatoes recipe were sponsored by Fresh Avocados – Love One Today® as part of an In-Home Party Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Why were avocados my kids’ first food? Why are they my choice for a simple snack with nothing…
Frozen Yogurt Bar Granola Parfaits: A 5-minute Snack Hack!
Now that school is back in session, I’m on the hunt for healthy snack ideas. Not just for the kids, but for me, too. I’m the first to admit that when life gets busy, I tend to fall into a rut of grabbing what’s easy and within arm’s reach – and I’m starting to really…
Mini Peanut Butter Zucchini Muffins
About 2 weeks ago, my mom gave me a large zucchini that she couldn’t use. Since it was the only one I had at the moment (rather than the zucchini overload we usually experience when we don’t neglect our garden) I was determined to use it. Since back-to-school breakfast will be a thing all too…
Sea Salt Caramel GORP Puddles
*Sigh.* It’s been so rainy the last few days. So rainy, in fact, that I wrecked my car. It was just getting dark, and I was driving along the river on my commute home. With a light rain falling, I didn’t even see the giant boulder of shale in the road until it was too…
Mediterranean Nachos (& @SaffronRoadFood Giveaway)
I participated in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Saffron Road products to facilitate my review and Mediterranean Nachos Recipe. It might be a simple tagline, but when Saffron Road invites you to “Explore a whole world of snacks,” they mean it. I was already sold on their…
Pastrami Pretzel Pockets
I am a participant in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received Colman’s Mustard products to facilitate my review and Pastrami Pretzel Pockets. Ooooh, friends. Hold on to your hats. I’m nearing the end of my #MomBlogTourFF recipe series, but this one was worth the wait. One of the…
