Out of all of the dessert recipes out there, rice krispie treats are always a favorite of mine, they’re just classic. And this fun 4th of July variation adds just a bit of flavor and a lot of color and fun! We’re keeping our 4th of July pretty low key this year with just a few red, white, and blue desserts, some 4th of July games, and a few of these outdoor games in the backyard....
In our house we typically celebrate 4th of July all week long before the big day. We make tons of red, white, and blue desserts and play all the 4th of July games we can think of. Then on the actual fourth of July, we typically get together with family and friends for water games, fireworks, and occasionally a 4th of July scavenger hunt! As part of the fun, I am printing out these Memorial Day coloring pages (totally work for 4th of July too), this 4th of July word search, and this red, white, and blue hunt to do this week....
The Ultimate Collection of Baby Shower Games One of my all-time most popular blog posts is 20 hilarious baby shower games. They’re all games that I came up and fit into the minute to win it game style that I love but could all just be played on their own (not minute to win it) too. I thought it would be fun to add another post with 20 MORE hilarious baby shower games....
Printable Easter Lego Challenge My son loves Legos, but it seems like lately he only wants to build the actual sets of Legos – not use him imagination to build different things. That or play these Lego games. And isn’t what Legos are for in the first place? Maybe not but this Easter Lego challenge will bring back that creativity and imagination as kids try to build each of the items on the 30 day challenge!...
This fun tombstone craft idea is the latest in my series of fun Hocus Pocus party ideas! It all started with these fun Hocus Pocus movie night snacks, and I’ve gone a little crazy since. We’re talking Hocus Pocus brownies, Hocus Pocus cookies, a DIY black flame candle, and even the cutest Hocus Pocus Halloween bookmarks! This is not only the latest in my series but also the last – so sad!...
One of my favorite Easter traditions is actually Easter breakfast. Our Easter dinner is pretty much the same every year – ham, scalloped potatoes, homemade rolls, and salad – but our Easter breakfast is always a little different. The only thing that stays the same from year to year is that we try something new each time. Last year we had savory breakfast muffins with a hash brown crust, so this year I want to do something sweet instead....
If you asked me ten years ago if I liked cauliflower, I would’ve responded that I liked raw cauliflower dipped in ranch dressing, almost as much as I liked raw broccoli dipped in ranch dressing. I don’t actually even remember eating cooked cauliflower, ever. Then my husband introduced me to this cauliflower puree and all of my thoughts about cauliflower went out the window with one single bite. I had no idea that cauliflower could be so good....

One of my favorite things about 4th of July, other than celebrating our freedom and fireworks of course, is all of the red, white, and blue desserts! It feels like every year I’m coming up with a new way to combine these patriotic colors into a fun and festive treat! These 4th of July strawberries are my new favorite because they’re so easy to make, plus they’re bright and colorful!...
Chocolate Protein Balls If you asked me what my all-time favorite dessert is, I’d quickly answer striped delight. But then it’d be a toss-up between brownies with nuts and a good strawberry shortcake. I’m pretty sure I’d have to give it to a perfectly warm chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I’m a sucker for a brownie sundae. Unfortunately brownies aren’t really Whole 30, keto, or really any diet friendly....
One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is the dessert. That and mashed potatoes. I’ve already shared my all-time favorite dessert, striped delight, and my favorite pumpkin dessert – pumpkin crunch cake. Oh and Reese’s peanut butter pie, all perfect for the dessert table. The only thing missing is a cute turkey treat for the kids (or adults!). You can either make this chocolate turkey recipe ahead of time or you could setup a station and let kids make a chocolate turkey all on their own!...
Easy Peanut Butter Pie There are a few combinations that just go together. Peanut butter and jelly. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Milk and cookies. Peanut butter and chocolate. This easy peanut butter pie takes that classic combination and elevates it a level with the addition of a graham cracker crust, cream cheese, and whipped cream. It’s easy to make, delicious, and an absolute winner for anyone who likes peanut butter and chocolate together....
I’ve always been a big fan of ice cream cakes for some reason, but I always thought they were too daunting to try and make. Turns out I was wrong, and they’re actually very simple to make! I made this Oreo ice cream cake a while back that’s perfect for chocolate lovers but what about if you prefer strawberry? Then this strawberry ice cream may be one of your new favorite things!...
I polled 100, okay more than 100 people, and asked them the following question – who loves the Family Feud Game show? And the answer was pretty much everyone. There’s just something hilarious about watching people try to come up with answers that other people might have said. The best part are the things people say when put on the spot and with a timer. I thought it would be fun to play a little Family Feud game while my family was in town because I’ve always dreamed about playing after watching the game show....
I’m not sure where it started but at some point diaper cakes became a thing. I personally would prefer a Snickers poke cake at my baby shower but diaper cakes are definitely cuter. After attending and hosting so many baby showers (I can’t tell you how many baby shower games I’ve come up with), I finally decided it was time to learn how to make a diaper cake. I waited so long and it’s so simple!...

Three days before Christmas, and I’m still sharing cookie recipes! This week I’ve already shared my favorite take on white chocolate cranberry cookies, the best cut out sugar cookies, and even super adorable sugar cookie bites. I’ve been saving some of the best for last. These peanut butter blossoms are the best ones I’ve personally ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot of peanut butter kiss cookies in my day....
If you have a kiddo who is in love with Star Wars, like my boys, they’ll love these Star Wars themed color by number printable pages. He loved these Star Wars coloring pages and his Jedi academy training at his birthday party, so I knew they’d love these as well! Okay, and let’s be honest – my husband is a little Star Wars obsessed as well. I mean obsessed enough that we’re currently in the middle of planning out Star Wars costumes for our upcoming voyage on the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Disney World....
