Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies
My daughter and I love to cook – especially bake. But between work, school, blogging, karate and horses to care for – we never seem to have the time to slow down and cook. Like many of you COVID has changed your life at least for the moment. We are now doing school from home, working from home and even karate from home. The only thing we cannot do from home is care for our horses since we board them. I am actually very thankful for that because it allows a safe space for me to take the kids where we don’t really need to worry about catching something from…

Keto Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies – Comfort Food Fun #Keto #KetoFriendly #LowCarb
This post contains affiliate links Following a Keto diet is awesome but sometimes you just want a treat – even a traditional comfort food type of treat like chocolate chip cookies! So I have tried several different versions and each iteration got closer and closer. This set is really good. I am more than happy to try some other versions but now I know I have a winner! I always recommend using a stand mixer for making cookies – who really wants to put all that elbow grease into each batch. We all have enough things to work hard on – this doesn’t need to be one of them.…

Coconut Macaroons – Made Easy
When I was first married I would make coconut macaroons all the time. They are very easy to make and I always considered them a comfort food. Over the years though I stopped making them and the only time I would eat them is when we happen to go to a restaurant that had them – which is very rare. My kids, particularly my son, are very picky and never in a million years did I think they would like coconut macaroons. Guess I was totally wrong – can’t make these things fast enough. I have a daughter that loves to cook so we have been playing around…

The Colors Of A Smoothie Bowl
How do you get your kids to eat healthy? Add pops of color, treat it like an ice cream and ask them to help prepare it. This is the perfect solution for getting kids to eat all kinds of berries. As an added tip – I sometimes blend spinach up in these smoothies too. It changes the color considerably but the kids cannot taste it at all. My daughter and I absolutely love smoothies – we could have them every day if I had the time to make them. Today however, we opted to make smoothie bowls! I have seen them all over the place but have never really had…

Need A Party Treat – Check Out These Coconut Balls!
Coconut Snowballs – My Children’s Favorite Treat Coconut Snowballs are very easy to make – they just take time, and quite a bit of time. If you are lucky you can enlist the help of the kids and they help make the entire process more fun. There are few ingredients, and any age child can definitely help make these. If you are working in someone’s industrial kitchen that can be amazing and make for quick work. But if you happen to get injured, perhaps through a slip and fall on the wet floor, it is time to seek the assistance of a personal injury lawyer. Any child also loves…

3-2-1 Cupcakes – Make Them Anytime You Want
Do you ever just want a snack without spending a ton of time in the kitchen? Or want a snack but if you make a full batch of something like cupcakes – they go to waste. You just want one – NOT 12! To make these precious desserts – you need one box Angel Food Cake mix and one box any other flavor cake mix. I am pretty boring so I use yellow cake mix for just about everything. With this recipe you can throw the mix together in a large baggie or a large resealable container (what I use). Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your cake mix… Until…

Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls – A Crowd Pleaser!
Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls – A Crowd Pleaser This is a recipe I received from my mother in law and it is definitely a “go to” treat for any big occasion. Everyone LOVES buckeye balls. I have tried these treats from many other people and their recipes but this is by far the best version I have ever tasted. These are creamy, substantial to eat and absolutely delicious. Buckeye balls are definitely a treat that I feel like there is no way in the world I would ever have enough willpower to say no. I might be able to have just one but to say “no” – would never happen.…

Deliciously Gorgeous Cake Balls
I recently bought this…Bake Delicious Cake Pops Pan! So today was the day to make them. I didn’t feel like spending all day at the barn today. The thing is – I have had a toothache for a few days and today has made me miserable. Plus today was a bit of a dreary day, eventually becoming quite rainy. So, I did the minimum possible for the horses and came home and hung out with the dog and cooked… First, you need a box of cake mix. The instructions say to use a box of cake mix with one more egg than the recipe calls for; instead of using water…
