Merry Christmas Eve! I’ll be taking the next week off to play with my family, but I couldn’t sign off for the year without leaving you one last fabulously easy recipe.
…This simple fudge in a bag is a perfect opportunity to get kids in the kitchen. A handful of ingredients, a plastic baggie, and some good ol’ elbow grease will yield a tasty treat kids can make all by themselves!
Have you ever made fudge in a bag??? I had never heard of such a thing until a few weeks ago when my sister-in-law was visiting us from Texas and told my boys all about it. As soon as they heard the word “chocolate” they were sold on the idea….
This simple fruit salsa recipe is a perfect, beginner-level dish for getting your kids involved in the kitchen. Plus, it’s addictively delicious–a perfect afternoon snack or summertime dessert.
Does anyone else feel like this summer is just FLYING by? At the beginning of the summer I was full of plans (and some trepidation), worrying about how I would occupy my three kiddos ALL. SUMMER. LONG. But now summer is more than halfway over, and we have barely touched our summer bucket list.
…Reminiscent of the kid favorite dirt cups…but nice enough to serve to adults, too, these fun and festive mini trifles are a perfect Easter dessert for your holiday gathering.
Happy Easter week! It’s been spring break at our house and things have been a little crazy! The first two days were super rainy, so we did play dates with friends and the boys seriously tornadoed the house (can I use tornado as a verb??? I guess I just did). The last couple days have been beautiful though, and I’m excited to soak up the sunshine. We’re enjoying digging in the dirt (someday we’ll landscape and have grass), taking trips to the park, and going on bike rides.

There are few treats I like more than the simplicity of old-fashioned kettle corn. And making it at home is easier than you might think–with just a few ingredients and five minutes of cooking, movie night just got so much better! 
I’m in love with kettle corn. It was a happy day when I realized that Costco sells giant bags of Boom Chicka Pop. I’ve been buying it pretty regularly for the past year, and my life has been happier for it. It’s the perfect snack when you want something sweet but you’re not prepared to commit to a full on fudgy chocolate cake (although there is absolutely nothing wrong with decadent desserts…they certainly have their place in my heart). Kettle corn is almost healthy…just a little sugar and a whole lotta whole grain. Mmm.

Move over cinnamon rolls…this sweet, baked cherry braid is a festive addition to your Christmas menu. Fancy-looking, but simple to make, serve it for dessert (or even breakfast) and wow you family!
It’s almost Christmas! My kids are beyond excited, and we’re hunkering down for a week of family fun and celebrating the birth of our Savior.

Call them whatever you like–Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, snowball cookies–these bite-sized cookies are the perfect addition to a holiday dessert plate, cookie exchange, or for enjoying by yourself snuggled next to the Christmas tree.
There are some foods that just remind me of Christmas. Sitting on the counter, waiting for the moment when my mom would declare a recipe complete and let me lick the bowl…mmm. Happy times.

Mix together just a few simple ingredients to create this easy recipe for state fair-style funnel cakes that will make any ordinary weekend special for the whole family.
It’s state fair time here in Utah. I grew up in California, and if we had a state fair, I certainly didn’t know about it and it wasn’t anywhere near where I lived. But, now that I live near Utah’s capital, the state fair is only a 20 minute drive away, and we’ve gone for the past several years.

Do you have fun weekend plans? Here in Utah, we’re gearing up to celebrate Pioneer Day. I didn’t grow up in Utah with this holiday, but I’m always up for another celebration…so bring on the parades and parties!…
Although it’s a simple recipe, there is more to these Easter egg-shaped popcorn balls than meets the eye. Kids will be thrilled with the surprise awaiting them inside this fun Easter dessert!
Have you ever had a kinder egg? They were clearly created by someone who understands the appeal that cheap trinkets have for children. Basically, it’s a chocolate egg with a plastic toy inside. At least it’s pretty good European chocolate rather than the super waxy cheap American stuff that shall remain nameless….
