In the heat of the summer, there is little energy left for anything but things that make you NOT. SO. HOT. Am I right? Swimming, splash pads, mountains, beaches. Watermelon, ice cream, popsicles, and grilling outside. And the food is the best! Making tons of concoctions with ice cream makers and the freezer so they cool…

Carrot Cake Kiss Cookies
Mini Chocolate Lasagnas
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. The best part about Christmas time are the traditions. Traditions are what made Christmas so exciting for me. Every year I could look forward to night spend looking at Christmas lights, decorating sugar cookies,…
Airheads Hot Chocolate Mugs
This post was sponsored by Airheads, all opinions are my own. Christmas crafting is the funnest…I think it’s the time of year when I see most of my friends actually taking the time to make things. And what’s even more fun than crafting is crafting with candy! Making gingerbread houses, yes, but have you ever…
Frozen Peppermint Oreo Hot Chocolate
This post was sponsored by DairyPure but all opinions are 100% my own. When I first started putting this recipe together, it was going to be just a milkshake. Which technically, it still is. But when I was in New York in October, I had a chance to visit the delicious Serendipity and try one…
Peanut Butter Blossom Turkeys
I love the result of baking but not so much the actual baking task. I find that I would rather spend hours nailing wood to a wall and painting it than mixing together a few ingredients to make a tasty treat. That seems strange, right? Well this week I have done both–baked two different kinds…
Easy Brownie Pudding
I have distinct memories of growing up in my parents’ house in the fall. My mom was stingy with the heating so it was always pretty cold in the house. And when we had to turn the clock back, the house felt very dark most of the night. I remember when the heater would turn…
Our Fall Craft Party and a Recipe
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s no secret that I love Halloween parties. I love everything about the fall, actually. This year, instead of throwing a Halloween party like I usually do (well, it might still happen) I decided…
Orange Creamsicle Pumpkin Treats
Here’s a little known secret about Halloween–did you know that it’s the only time of year when TruMoo comes out with their yummy orange cream flavored orange milk? It’s called TruMoo Orange Scream and it’s only available until October 31st! But it doesn’t have any high fructose corn syrup or artificial growth hormones and made…
Ricotta Cheese Cookies
This post originally appeared on I Heart Naptime on July 23, 2015. I’m so excited to be sharing a yummy cookie recipe with you today–one that is easy, delicious, and impressive! These cookies are awesome. Like the cousin to the sugar cookie, they are huge, puffy and soft, and have a hint of tartness. My…
Pineapple Mango Sorbet
Yes–one more ice cream recipe! As you might have noticed from my Wendy’s Frosty Copycat recipe and my S’mores Ice Cream recipe, I’m a little bit on an ice cream kick right now. This pineapple mango sorbet recipe is a bit healthier and dairy-free. It starts with a sugar and water syrup base. Just mix…
Homemade Hershey’s Smores Ice Cream
If you read my Copycat Wendy’s Frosty post, you’ll remember that I just got a new ice cream maker that I love! And so we have been going a little homemade ice cream crazy at my house. And I couldn’t wait to try adding things into the basic ice cream recipes to make them even…
