Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream Pie is made from scratch and only contains 5 ingredients! It’s peanut butter banana “ice cream” in a graham cracker crust.
I was challenged by #CollectiveBias to create a new recipe with #PBandG: #Yippee Skippy peanut butter and Honey Maid graham crackers. Since it is the holiday baking time and everyone is eating pies, I decided to make a Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream Pie. …
M&M Popcorn Balls combine the best movie night foods into a delicious snack.
I have teamed up with #CollectiveBias and #MovieNight4Less for a fun movie night with a snack recipe. Everyone knows you have to eat popcorn and candy when watching a movie. I wanted to combine them and decided to make M&M Popcorn Balls….

We always have a bunch of leftovers from holiday dinners but eating the leftovers can get boring. I have teamed up with #CollectiveBias to give a new spin on leftovers for Kraft #TasteTheSeason. I decided to use our turkey and gravy leftovers to make Turkey and Stuffing Waffles….
Sugared Pumpkin Seeds are a great change of pace from the plain roasted pumpkin seeds. They are tossed in sugar and spice for a yummy snack option.
I am excited to announce that I am a Netflix Stream Team blogger! I have been streaming lots of movies and shows. We were watching Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest which got us in the mood to cut open our pumpkins. Every year, I buy big pumpkins to carve and pie pumpkins to make puree. Whenever we gut the pumpkins, I always save the seeds so we can eat them….
M&M Cookie Dough Ice Cream is filled with lots of M&M cookie dough pieces and M&M’s. Plus it doesn’t even require an ice cream machine!
I have teamed up with #CollectiveBias and #HeroesEatMMs to celebrate the new release of Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier DVD. I think all superheroes need M&M’s and ice cream after a hard day’s work. A great way to enjoy both is in my M&M Cookie Dough Ice Cream, which does not require an ice cream machine….
Caramel Apple M&M Blondies are the dessert of the fall. These apple blondies are filled with candy apple M&Ms and topped with an apple juice caramel sauce.
I’m so excited it’s almost fall! I love the cooler weather and all the awesome fall foods. In honor of the change of season, I have teamed up with #FlavorofFall M&M’s and #CollectiveBias. One of M&M’s new fall flavors is candy apple, which is available exclusively at Walmart stores. I wanted to make a fall recipe with the candy apple M&M’s. I also wanted to incorporate Mott’s applesauce and apple juice into the recipe too. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you already know that I like to use applesauce when baking. It makes it a little moister and healthier since it replaces some of the vegetable oil or butter in the recipe. I ended up deciding to make Caramel Apple M&M Blondies with a caramel sauce drizzle….

Chocolate Pudding Brownie Bowls are a chocolate lover’s dream. What’s better than brownies filled with chocolate pudding!
For my daughter’s birthday, we decided to have a farm themed party. Besides all the farm decorations, I also wanted the desserts to fit the theme. One of the desserts I made was Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes. The cupcakes were the “dirt” and then were topped with “grass” icing plus tractor picks on top. I also created Chocolate Pudding Brownie Bowls that were mud puddles with pigs in them. I used a bake-a-bowl pan to make the brownie bowls and then filled them with chocolate pudding. I made the pigs out of a pig shaped candy mold and pink melting wafers. I put the pigs on top of each “mud puddle”. The Chocolate Pudding Brownie Bowls were adorable and everyone loved them!…
Frozen Watermelon Lemonade is a great refreshing summertime drink.
We love eating watermelon in the summertime. I usually cut up it up and store it in a plastic container in the fridge. But most of the time all of it doesn’t fit plus it ends up sitting in its juice. I was glad when I received a Good Cook 3-piece Fruit Bowl which includes a bowl, colander and lid. This product is exclusively available at Bed Bath and Beyond. The fruit bowl was large enough to fit the whole watermelon I bought. I really liked that the fruit sits in the colander and the juice drains into the bowl. The fruit isn’t sitting in its juice so it lasts longer. We ate most of the watermelon but we still had some leftover. I wanted to use it up and decided to make Frozen Watermelon Lemonade….
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza is a delicious twist on classic pizza.
I teamed up with #CollectiveBias and Kraft #FoodDeservesDelicious to make a delicious recipe using Kraft pourable dressings. I didn’t want to use it for the normal uses like dipping or simple salad recipes. I had to make something for dinner and I decided to make a Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. I heard the new Kraft Pourables dressings have been reinvented with a new, better taste. I wanted to try their improved version so I headed to Walmart to purchase Kraft dressing….
