Well, I officially have a 10 year old! It may be a weird time in our world to be having a birthday, but you better be damn sure that I wasn’t about to let anything get in the way of my daughter having the BEST time while turning the big 1-0.
My inspiration for this cake came with us deciding to have a ‘disco dance party’ for the birthday. And what goes better with disco other than tie-dye. Between that and remembering my Dark Chocolate ‘Crazy Cake’ so fondly, I decided to put the two together…
Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll
I realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.
This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…
Read MoreUnicorn Banana Bread
Usually, banana bread is banana bread is banana bread. But, being as I intend to make food a whole hell of a lot more fun and exciting this year, I decided to do what any mother does best. Add rainbows to the mix! This colorful twist on banana bread has lovingly been dubbed as Unicorn Banana Bread and it’s pretty easy to see why.
If you love banana bread, you’ll also love this Unicorn Banana Bread. Other than a few healthy swaps and the sprinkles added into the mix, this is a pretty standard banana bread. Lots of bananas, lots of whole wheat, and lots of color…
Read MoreRainbow Unicorn Poptarts
It’s ‘fantasy’ week here in my house as part of our themed summer weeks. And to kick thoughts off, I thought I would start us off with some Rainbow Unicorn Poptarts! These poptarts aren’t your usually run-of-the-mill poptarts. I mean, obviously… look at them!
They sort of give a new meaning to ‘eat the rainbow’, don’t they?
Even though my kid isn’t the biggest fan (at all) of poptarts, I figured with some rainbow inspiration, maybe she would give them another chance, right? Right?!…
Read MoreRainbow Wrap Lunch Box
It’s getting hot here in Texas, and I don’t know about the rest of you but I could use something to cool me off by the time lunch rolls around. Even though we’re keeping things as simple as possible during the summer months, there’s still a lot of out-and-about happening. (The summer months are when the vast majority of our family birthdays are - so we’re all over the place celebrating!)
With all that’s going on around me, I like to have my lunch prepared and ready to go so that I can grab-and-go on my way out the door to whatever we might be off to. And since we’re in between our themed summer weeks of kids cooking/baking and fantasy, I thought this Rainbow Wrap Lunch Box would be the perfect fit…
Read MoreRainbow Bread
It’s the first day of Summer break and my kiddo and I are already digging into our themed weeks! This first week of summer has been dubbed cooking/baking week, which means that mea and my girl are going to spend the majority of our time in the kitchen. That’s not really a new thing to me, but… it’ll be new to have her at my side for most of it!
Since we’re baking and since it’s Pride month, I thought it would be fun for me and the girl to try our hand at making some rainbow bread. Now, I used to have a bread maker that was super handy for these sorts of things, but to be honest I couldn’t have used it here anyway. This bread is my hand and hook because of all the beautiful and NATURAL food colors used…
