Psst… hey! Did you know that making your own ice cream is super easy to do? And you only need a couple of ingredients to do it? Yep! Plus, fresh ice cream is always far more rich and creamy than what you’ll get at the store. AND you get to include whatever add ins you want. Or leave out what you don’t!

This No Churn Mermaid Ice Cream is sure to impress the kiddos. It’s colorful, bright, fun, and tastes great! No machine here. No churning. Just sweet simple to make ice cream that’s colored and prettied up further with some fun sprinkles…

PB&J Snack Mix

May 25, 2021 Amanda Plott

Summer is coming and it’s always nice to have a snack mix on hand for yourself, others, or the kiddos when you’re out and about. And hopefully we all get to be just a little more out and about this year. This PB&J Snack Mix is a great grab-and-go mix because it’s very summer friendly being as there isn’t much in here that’s prone to the summer heat.

This mix has some good stuff in it that pretty much any PB&J lover will adore. Real strawberries. Peanuts. And a lot in between. This snack mix has just a little bit of everything from salty to sweet and back again along with a variety of textures ranging from soft to crunchy…

I’ve definitely done some baking in my Instant Pot. Oh, yeah. Did you know that you could bake in a pressure cooker? I didn’t for the longest time, but once I learned that it was a thing, I was in it for the long haul. These Skinny Instant Pot Corndogs are super fast to whip up and only take about 9 minutes in the pressure cooker to… bake!

These fun corndog bites are something kids and adults will both enjoy! Plus, they’re lightened up and just over 100 calories in one. Compare that to other corndogs out there, especially fried ones, and you’ll realize pretty quickly just how light these are…

There is just ONE month left to school and then my kiddo is out for summer. And what says summer more than some S’mores?! This S’mores inspired monkey bread has all the delicious flavors of a S’more baked right in. that’s right this S'mores Monkey Bread has grahams, chocolate, AND marshmallow goodness all up in it.

One of the best parts, is that this monkey bread is quick and easy to make and it’s one of those things that both kids AND adults can enjoy. The dough here is tossed in a graham/sweetener mixture and then piled into a bundt pan with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch!…

S'more Cookie Cups

April 20, 2021 Amanda Plott

The weather here in Texas has been pretty amazing lately. Despite all the allergens and pollen in the air right now, the temperature is perfection. Everything is alive, plush, green, and coming back to life after a rather harsh winter. Whenever the weather starts to turn this amazing, I always start thinking about camping, even though I’m not the best camper.

What goes better with camping than S’mores? These S'more Cookie Cups are a definite upgrade from traditional s’mores though. They’re less messy and just as delicious! Plus, you can make up a whole batch of 24 of them all at once, rather than making one s’more at a time…

Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake

This Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake takes the cake. Seriously! This cake is DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. It is jam packed FULL of yummy strawberry flavor and nothing about it is artificial or out of a box, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

The secret is in the sauce. To start this cake off right, you put a whole pint of strawberries to cook down into an amazing sauce. On top of that, you throw some freeze dried strawberries into the batter and the end result is a perfectly guilt free and AMAZING strawberry cake…
