3.97 41 Published Apr 20, 2020, Updated Nov 01, 2022 I first found out about this recipe from a friend who brought over a meal train dinner for us when we were first home from the hospital with Olivia. With the meal they brought blondies as dessert. Which by the way, anyone who brings a dessert with their meal train dish gets extra brownie (or blondie) points because having a sweet treat on hand is super helpful when you’re sleep deprived with a new babe....

5 9 Published Feb 06, 2018, Updated Mar 20, 2023 Anyhow, the reason I’m even mentioning this little tidbit is because my recipe today is a semi-homemade almond flour donut recipe using Simple Mills’ Vanilla Cake & Cupcake Mix, Vanilla Frosting and Chocolate Frosting.

All of their products are made with simple ingredients and they’re also gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO and paleo-friendly!...

Ingredients and Equipment Butter – real butter gives the best flavor here, and also combines with the flour for the thickening agent. Garlic– fresh garlic adds great flavor, but if you’re out, you can definitely sub in some garlic powder to taste! If using garlic powder, add it with the salt and pepper to taste. I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon. Flour – flour is used as our thickener. If you’re out of flour, you could certainly try combining 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch with your cold milk before adding to the pot to help thicken the soup....

Here are a few of the things I love about Homemade Crunch Wraps: With a quick side dish they can easily be transformed into an easy weeknight dinner. 2. They make a great grab-and-go snack or mini-meal Unlike the same ingredients cooked like a burrito, you can stuff cold toppings into these after they come out of the oven. 4. They’re easier for kids to eat because everything is totally contained and can be hand-held....

I am happy this week is wrapping up! We are headed for a visit with my brother and his family and then to the beach with my parents for part of July 4th week.

This brownie pumpkin cheesecake is a delicious combo of brownie bottom cheesecake and pumpkin cheesecake brownies – the best of both worlds! It’s just as well that the holidays line up with Fall, because when the weather gets cooler and the leaves change color, all I can think of is delicious desserts and fun cocktails. Not that I need another reason to bake desserts of course. One thing I enjoy more than I ever thought I would since moving to the US is Halloween!...

I first made little orange candy carrots years and years ago, but back then I put little parsley sprigs in the ends for the greens. They look adorable, but people are always a little iffy about whether they’re supposed to eat them considering it’s candy with herbs sticking out of them. Then last year when I was making these cute St. Patrick’s Day favors Kate posted, I realized the green Twizzlers would be perfect in place of my parsley....

Christmas was different this year, but just as magical and wonderful! Santa found us, brought lots of goodies, we feasted for several days it seems, and we were able to see my parents (safely and briefly, but at least we had some time together). Our living room is still a bit of a disaster, but it’s about the only kind of mess I enjoy. We are beach bound for a few days this week, which will be a nice change of scenery....

4.11 13 Published Jun 17, 2020, Updated Aug 17, 2023 I highly recommend making these oats in the summer when cherries are in season because nothing is better than a fresh cherry!

Add your milk and cream cheese to a mason jar and stir or mash together until the cream cheese is broken up into small chunks....

Fall is more than just pumpkins. Did that just sound like blasphemy?! Not that I don’t love me ALL the pumpkin things. You know I do. But fall is also all about the apples for me. Fresh, crisp, perfect apples. Especially of the honey crisp variety now and then, if you’re lucky. (They’re my fave but they’re so expensive so I try to limit myself just a tad bit!) I eat an apple every day....

Why I love this kiwi salad dressing You could never have enough sauces and condiments, or salad dressings, could you? Vinaigrettes are my go to dressing, but I do love a creamy dressing to dress up my plate of greens sometimes. A creamy, tangy dressing when paired with the right salad, can completely elevate that dish. Another thing about a lot of store-bought dressings is that they are often loaded with preservatives and artificial flavors which is kind of counter-intuitive when used on a salad....

Hello decadence! This amazing meal is oh-so-simple to make. And fast. The 3-ingredient crab dip has to be made ahead (which only takes about 5 minutes - just stir and refrigerate).
