This post is brought to you by Ginny’s. There truly is a national day for everything, and today happens to be National Ice Cream Pie Day.  (Yes, that’s a thing.)  It’s been incredibly hot here in Southern California and an easy ice cream pie is a great dessert for hot weather.  Sweet and refreshing, you […]

35 decadent, diet-busting desserts.

July 15, 2015 1 Comment

Yes, yes, I know. It’s summer time… Everyone is thinking swimsuit season and light meals. But don’t you ever want to just chuck it all? To say, “pfft. Screw it. I’ll start my diet tomorrow?” I do. I don’t do it very often, but the next time I decide to dig in to sweet, sweet […]

Make smoothie popsicles with fruit and Silk® Almond Milk blends.

July 7, 2014 3 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Silk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I am a big fan of Silk® Almond Milk and use it regularly.  I sometimes have, um, issues with dairy, and my boys aren’t big on soy products, but Almond Milk is a favorite.   I […]

Samoa Brownie Bites: Inspired by Samoa Girl Scout Cookies

March 3, 2014 2 Comments

I hate Girl Scout Cookie time.    I have no willpower.  Those sweet girls with their little beanies and sashes, and their boxes of Thin Mints!  I can’t take it!  They make me do bad things like come up with desserts that remind me of my all time favorite, the Samoa Girl Scout Cookies.  (That […]

Kid Valentine’s Week: 2 ingredient Magic shell recipe

February 7, 2014 1 Comment

Personally?  I don’t like Magic Shell.  I don’t like anything that gets in between me and my ice cream.  My kids, however…?  They love Magic Shell.  So when I saw this recipe for a two ingredient, homemade Magic Shell recipe from Sarah at Bombshell Bling, I knew my peeps would love it. Not only is […]

How to make a heart shaped cake. (without a heart shaped pan…)

January 24, 2014 Leave a Comment

OK, once I saw it, I wanted to give myself a “could’ve had a V-8” smack to the forehead… but I never knew how to make a heart shaped cake without a heart shaped cake pan.  Not that I have a heart shaped cake pan, mind you, and not that I even make a whole […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies for Valentine’s Day

January 22, 2014 Leave a Comment

I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Whoopie Pie.  (Raising 4 boys, Whoopie Cushions I know… Whoopie Pies, not so much.)  I know that is shocking to some of you, but I think it may be more of an East Coast thing.  Growing up in California, I had never even heard of them until a […]

Sweet Marie bars for Valentine’s Day.

January 20, 2014 Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard of a Sweet Marie bar…?   Rice Krispy Treats?  Those I know.   Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?  Yes, please!  But Sweet Marie bars?  Never heard of them.  Then I saw this: Laura from Pink Cake Plate describes these as when Rice Krispy Treats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups collide.  I was probably […]
