Who is feeling festive? As they say…everyone is Irish on St Patrick’s Day! Hi! It’s Colleen here today with a boozy treat for celebrating all things Irish! To keep it easy, I simply made mini cupcakes with my favorite boxed brownie mix, dipped them in a chocolate ganache, and topped them with Bailey’s Irish Cream...

What’s cuter than food gifts in jars? Right? For my last recipe of 2014, we’re going out with a bang. Colleen created these tricked-out Hot Chocolate Pancakes! Yes, I said Hot Chocolate PANCAKES!! These pancakes make an amazing desert or a spectacular special occasion breakfast. The idea came to life with the help of Krusteaz Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancake...

I was at the grocery store last week and saw this bag of teeny red and green M&Ms. They hopped right into my cart. Or something like that. I knew I had to find something to make with them. They’re just too cute. I came home and did some googling and came up with the...

This holiday season I’m laid up with a foot injury and trying to take it easy. While I love cooking from scratch, sometimes a baking mix is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks to my partnership with Krusteaz, I’ve discovered a wonderful gluten-free brownie mix that is so good, there is no need to try to...

Making Christmas cookies is a time-honored holiday tradition in many homes, and it’s one of my personal favorites. I recall many years of baking cookies with my mom during the month of December. We didn’t really have a signature family cookie, but we made all the usuals — sugar cookies, Hershey Kiss cookies, peanut butter...

They came dressed as bats, ninja-turtles, princesses, hockey players, zombies and more! Halloween has come to a close, and if your home is anything like ours, you now have more candy than anyone could possibly eat. And you certainly don’t want that temptation sitting around, am I right? Colleen came up with three fun recipes to help you get...

I don’t know about you, but the first time I had a bite of Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle, my mind was blown! Both my tween son and I kinda fell in love with it! Both of us have always loved the crispy edges of brownies, and if I didn’t have to share could eat crispy brownie...

The leaves are starting to fall and you can almost smell the change in the air! Fall is on its way! It’s Colleen here today, and I will be the first to admit I didn’t want the summer of 2014 to end, however, once fall began to emerge with its glorious crisp cool mornings and...

Hi, it’s Colleen back again today, and I have a tip AND a recipe for you! My tip? It’s totally OK to take shortcuts when you can find them in the kitchen! So often we “kill” ourselves” to be Lil’ Miss Perfect when planning a party, BBQ or even a Sunday dinner. It’s all about what...

Hi, it’s Colleen, and today I have a sweet treat for you! I don’t know what it is, but the combination of chocolate and peanut butter gets so many of us excited…am I right?  I mean, chocolate on its own is wonderful!  Peanut butter on its own is delicious too – but put those two together and something irresistibly magical happens! For this recipe, I...
