I love Sour Patch Kids. They are my favorite candy that isn’t made with chocolate. I eat them every time I go to a movie, but love them even when I’m not watching movies. They are just the perfect mix of sour, sweet and fruit.
If you are looking for a fun and easy treat you can make with your kids, then this is for you. Speaking as a mother of small children, I can attest to the the popularity and convenience of fruit snacks. My boys love them in their school lunches, as snacks after school, or just an anytime snack.
If you’re looking for a way to take an old standby and make it a little healthier, then this is a great recipe for you. Somehow you can make muffins without sugar or flour and they can still manage to taste good. My boys love these muffins, but I have to admit that they usually con me into throwing some chocolate chips into the batter. So, if you feel like being healthy, but still treating yourself, then feel free to toss in a handful (about a 1/2 cup) of chocolate chips too.
I’m not a huge peanut butter fan or a huge fudge fan, but my husband is both. Fudge is one of those desserts that people seem to think is hard to make, but it’s actually not that difficult. I like to make this for my husband when he does something nice for me, or if I’m feeling especially loving that day. My boys prefer it if I substitute chocolate chips for the peanuts. Either way, this easy fudge recipe makes all the boys in my house happy.
I want to start out by saying that I don’t condone eating donuts or junk food all the time, but every now and then, or on special occasions, I do enjoy eating a donut. I especially love homemade donuts on a weekend morning. There is nothing better than a homemade donut and a tall cup of joe to start off a lazy Saturday. This recipe has got to be the easiest way to make homemade donuts ever.
With June just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to share a recipe for all the brides-to-be out there. These little mints are a traditional wedding snack, and are something easy a bride can make to save a little dough. There are lots of other things a bride could use money for, a little extra money for the honeymoon, a new pair of shoes or even just a little extra money to help pay for the big day.
I have not always loved hummus. I actually used to hate it. However, it has grown on me, and I now love it on veggies, crackers and chips. It is rich and creamy with a pinch of salt, and even a bit tart. I think the reason that I learned to love hummus was because I fell in love with garbanzo beans. I used to make a five bean salad when I worked at a restaurant, and it was chock full of garbanzo beans. If you love garbanzo beans, or if you are just looking for a delicious dip, this recipe is for you.
If you’ve ever made Rice Krispie treats before then you can make these cookies. They may sound like they are hard to make, but they are actually quite easy. This recipe is pretty much making a batch of Rice Krispie treats and then frosting them. These are super simple and super delicious too.
I spent this past weekend with my sister and her family. We had a great time together, if you don’t count the runny noses, coughs and pink eye. I’ve come to the realization that whenever you get more than one family with kids together, there is going to be some sickness that goes around.
Who doesn’t love brownies? However, their chocolatey goodness is not always so good for you. Wouldn’t it be great if the brownies you loved were actually good for you? Well, these brownies are not as good for you as say a bowl of salad, but they are better for you than regular brownies. These are made using no oil and even have two fruits and a vegetable hidden in the recipe.
