We had so much fun making our Valentine’s Day Monster Cupcakes that I wanted to add another type of Valentine Day cupcake to the mix. This time we made the cutest Valentine’s Day Bear Cupcakes made with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. These cupcakes are pretty easy to make and lots of fun to decorate.  One of my favorite reasons I love baking is all the decorating that goes along with it. Admittedly, I’m not the best decorator but when you have a basic animal like a bear, it is pretty easy to master. Kids love to help with these cupcakes because they can make silly faces on the animals and sn ..read more

The Super Bowl is almost here! Our house is super sad that the Cowboys won’t be playing in it this year (again), but hopefully next year we’ll have different results. Every year we throw a big party and invite our friends to come over to enjoy the game. Our house is usually packed with lots of friends and more food than we can eat. I always focus on appetizers and the main course so this year I wanted to be sure to add some fun desserts in for the big game. I decided to make cookies with a sports field on them. The great thing about these cookies is that you can use them for most sports by ma ..read more

As much as I know Valentine’s Day is just a Hallmark holiday, I must admit that I enjoy the cheesy holiday. It gives everybody a reason to be happy and show love, even though we should be doing that year round. I will admit, my husband and I don’t do much for the holiday. We use to go out to eat but quickly realized how over priced and unnecessary it was, so we usually do something simple like a delicious home cooked meal. Even though we usually end up with a home cooked meal, I like to spend extra time making delicious desserts. I’ll take any reason to eat some sweets! Just like any other ho ..read more

Since I cook at home almost every single night, I’m always trying to find new dishes to add to my menu. I have a habit of making the same foods often and it gets old. Sushi is one of our favorite foods to go out and eat but it is always so much more expensive than eating out at any other cuisine so I decided I would make it at home. I’ve tried to make sushi once before and let me tell you, it didn’t end really well. I didn’t follow directions and somehow my roll was extremely large, like double the size it should have been. I’m always up for a good cooking challenge so tonight I made a Calif ..read more
