Haystack Cookies

These cookies couldn’t be more simple – three ingredients, three easy steps, and no baking!!  I absolutely love Haystack Cookies and always make them during the holiday season. Now I’m wondering why I don’t make them more often throughout the year?  The key for me with these cookies is to store them in the refrigerator.  They taste so much better cold!

Easy Weekly Meals Your Family Will Love – Week #2

Here is the second round of family meals I’ve planned to make your lives simpler. Who has time to meal plan? I don’t know about you, but it takes me forever to select the week’s meal and write the shopping list. To have a weekly meal plan with five kid-friendly dinners and a dessert already decided with an accompanying grocery shopping list (sign-up below for FREE access to my resource library!) makes me really happy.

Easy Weekly Meals Your Family Will Love – Week #1

A number of my dedicated blog readers have been requesting meal planning ideas. Since meal planning is actually one of my own dreaded weekly chores, I completely understand the demand for family meal plans. I hope to add at least one week of planned out dinners (and a dessert!) each month. Also, a free printable grocery shopping list is available to my e-mail subscribers (see below!).

Dirt Cake Rice Krispie Treats

When it comes to food, I am a child. This morning I had chocolate milk and a single serving of chocolate cake in a mug. I told my daughter that both were “coffee”. Sugar is my addiction and desserts are my game. Here I’ve taken two very simple and fun desserts that I love and combined them. Dirt Cake plus Rice Krispie Treats! If I love these Dirt Cake Rice Krispie Treats I promise your kids will too.

It’s summer so I am craving anything featuring s’mores. We don’t have a firepit yet so I looked to see what ingredients I had in my cupboard and this is the recipe I came up with. I am very happy with the results, Messy Mallow Bars is a quick recipe to get your s’mores fix.
