Ms. Emily gets very excited about setting out snacks and treats for Santa. This reindeer chow was a fun mix to make and very tasty. I love these kinds of recipes that you can have an idea with and then do your thing to make it what you want it to be by adding in…

Jello Poke Cake
Jordan was visiting and coming for dinner with family. She was here a couple days after her birthday so we were looking for some fun cake ideas to give a try. Emily saw this one and knew this was the one to make. I have seen many fun twists on this recipes for different holidays…
Air Fryer Donuts
The kids were super excited when I said we would be having donuts for breakfast and then confused when I said we weren’t going to the store to pick them up. These are ridiculously easy and so tasty! I’m sure the tastiness factor increases with the level of butter used to help the cinnamon sugar…
Fruit Dump Cake
I remember making this for the first time shortly after I had graduated from high school and living in my first rental house with a close friend. It is ridiculously easy and so darn delicious. There are so many different flavor combinations and I’ve always been the biggest fan of this classic cherry and pineapple…
Cinnamon Swirl Banana Muffins
We had some super ripe bananas to use up and I was looking to try something new for breakfast. These were pretty good. Next time I would put more of the cinnamon/sugar swirl in the middle layer and on top. There was plenty leftover and I wish we could have seen the swirl layer in…
Mom's Sugar Cookies
I don’t usually make sugar cookies during the holidays because we have two wonderful ladies in our lives that both make great ones! My Mom and my Husband’s Mom. This is my Mom’s recipe. Let’s Get Crafty! Ingredients: 1 cup butter (softened) 1 cup sugar 1 cup powdered sugar 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs…
Holiday Corn Flake Wreaths

Peanut Butter Blossoms
These are so good and a big favorite among our kiddos. These are the cookies of choice that we set out each year for Santa along with carrots for reindeer. This year Emily brought home a little packet of Reindeer Food from school that she said we should put out on our lawn on Christmas…
Blueberry Muffins Trick
Hi there! Do you love blueberry muffins but feel like there just aren’t enough blueberries? I do. Emily is my little fruit eater and loves them too. This isn’t a recipe as much as a fun little trick to add some freshness to your muffins when you see blueberries on sale for 4 for $10. …
Eclair Cake
This was a huge hit with the kids! This recipe came my way by Passionate Penny Pincher’s newly released meal set that includes 5 meals and a weekly dessert. They put together the grocery list and everything. You should stop by their site, if you’re interested. They’ll also be releasing a summer meal set in…
