Simple Recipes & Party Treats

Festive Rainbow Cake

Filed Under: Gluten Free, Home, Parties/Holidays

My sweet baby girl LOVES to bake and design cakes and other treats. She adores making a HUGE mess playing in flour, and she recently discovered a new love of kneading fondant when we made her special football jersey football cake. She also adores rainbows so this rainbow cake project was fun for both of us. […]

Happy Birthday Ellie! Football Jersey Cake

Filed Under: Food, Home, Parties/Holidays

  Today my baby, my youngest Ellie, turns 6. Yikes! Sitting on this side of it, I feel as though time has flown like lightning. I know in another blink of an eye she’ll be off to college. Seriously, isn’t that what it feels like?! You moms of older kids, doesn’t it feel that way? I’m […]

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

Filed Under: Food, Gluten Free, Home

This No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse is a perfectly delicious simple dessert for your next holiday gathering! We’re still in pumpkin season, right?! I wish it lasted all year long! I don’t often blog about food (although I have been more lately) and I have a bit of an obsession with pumpkin. So I’m going with it. […]

Minions Movie Night Snack Ideas

We have had some BIG minions fans in this house ever since the days of Despicable Me. Who can resist those silly characters!

Disclosure: The Hess Collection provided wine. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own. I was eleven the first time I traveled from Florida to the Napa Valley.

Allergy Friendly Mango Cashew Cornbread Stuffing Casserole

Filed Under: Food, Gluten Free, Parties/Holidays

Now that Halloween is over, who’s getting ready for Thanksgiving!? Haha.  With all of our allergies around here, we immediately had to sort all of the peanut and gluten candy out of the candy bags. It’s our annual ritual because, well, we have to. Especially peanut because it’s an anaphylactic allergy for Ronin. But we also […]

My Ronin turns 8 today. It’s shocking how fast it’s flown when sometimes the day-to-day seems like it’s dragged at a snails pace. Motherhood altered my life in innumerable ways and it’s not always rainbows and kittens. But when I add it all up, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I could not live without that smile, […]
