I love S’mores but there’s nothing more disappointing then getting your graham cracker and chocolate all ready only to find your marshmallow has burst into flames and turned charcoal black. If that’s happened to you one too many times or you’re craving a S’more in the dead of Winter, I’ve got a recipe just for you! What You Need: -1 box of graham crackers -4 ounces of milk chocolate chips -1/4 cup marshmallow fluff What To Do: 1. Break the graham crackers into single rectangles. You can make as many as you want, just make sure you have an even number. 2. Spread a layer of marshmallow fluff on half…

Sweet Green Apple Tart
I may be slightly obsessed with The Pioneer Woman. I mean, I’ve always liked her and her recipes are delicious, but lately I can’t get enough. I kind of want to be her, minus having to live on a ranch. Remember the onion straws she inspired me to make? Well, I also happened to make my own version of another one of her recipes, an apple tart. I added and omitted some ingredients to make them my own and since J ate an entire tart by himself, I would say they turned out pretty well. What You Meed: -1 package of puff pastry -3 large Granny Smith apples -1 cup…

Caramel Pecan Cookies
Before I get into the recipe I need to say that I made these cookies before I had Jack. I’m definitely not doing any baking with a newborn. My cookies didn’t end up looking as beautiful as the original recipe, but they tasted delicious. I made a few changes to the original recipe to make it a little simpler and less time consuming. What You Need: -1 package of pre-made or ready to make chocolate cookie dough (I used Betty Crocker’s chocolate cookie pouch) -1 cup chopped pecans -1 bag Kraft caramels -Few tablespoons of milk What To Do: 1. Pre-heat oven to temperature on the cookie package 2. If…

White Chocolate Covered Popcorn
I promise this is the last post about anything related to a baby shower. And honestly, even if you aren’t hosting a baby shower you should be making this popcorn anyway. This stuff is so good that J was eating it faster than I could put it in the baggies. Whenever I throw a party whether it’s for a birthday, baby, wedding, or anything in between, my go to party favor usually involves food. Everyone likes it and no one needs little trinkets lying around their house. What You Need: -Lightly buttered popcorn (you want some butter so you get the mix of salty and sweet) -1 Bag of white chocolate chips…
