This last month my Princess and I made cookies together. She specifically asked for peanut butter cookies and since we had all the ingredients, I just couldn't say no. I mean, honestly, who can say no to peanut butter cookies? She loved them so much she asked me to make them for her class, for her birthday. She does not like cupcakes, and she wnated to bring something to her class on her birthday, so we made another batch of peanut butter cookies with chocolate candies - thumbprint … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Fry Bread with Dark Chocolate Sauce
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing up on a Native American reservation and now raising my kids on the same reservation - we've eaten plenty of fry bread. Fry bread is a flat dough fried or deep-fried in oil, shortening, or lard. (In our family we've always just used vegetable oil.) My favorite way to eat it has always been warm with butter and jam. Though, eating it with taco fixings (Indian Taco) is also a … [Read more...]
Cake Mix Rolo Cookies
Easter is only three weeks away! Can you believe it? Does your family have special Easter traditions? In our family we get together and have a family dinner usually at 2pm to allow people to get done with church and then we eat, play games, and then adults hide Easter eggs (real and plastic that are filled with candy and money).

Dollar Store Valentines Gifts
Last week, I happily received a box of HERSHEY'S Valentine's Day candy (think Twizzlers, ROLO, Reese's PB Hearts, and Kisses...) As you can see above my kiddos were just as happy. Of course, starting a healthy living journey last week made it a little more difficult to do my normal over-splurge on chocolate. I was good though - I think I only had four peanut butter hearts all week. {That is really good for me! Those are my kryptonite!} After getting so many bags of awesome candy, we visited … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Cookies
Thank you Global Influence and HERSHEY'S for sponsoring today's post. Halloween is a fun time of year because truthfully I love the over abundance of candy. I have the worst (or best, it depends on how you look at it) sweet tooth. Really. I can't buy the candy or I will eat it. So when HERSHEY'S sent a box full of candy to our front door, you can imagine my extreme delight as well as dread. Not good for a weight conscious mommy! My Princess and I love baking together. But we prefer … [Read more...]
