This is an easy to make fondue that is kid-friendly too! It’s so fun to eat foods with chocolate fondue and makes a decadent treat for dessert!

Our daughter is kind of Mtn. Dew obsessed. She LOVES the stuff. As I try and limit her overall intake of sugar and caffeine, she only gets it for special occasions at home or when she’s able to snag it when we’re out and about somewhere.

Okay, I’m cutting it close here, but it is still May, albeit the last day in the month – but May IS National Egg Month.

The average American eats more than 20 dozen eggs a year!! Oh but wait, do you ever worry about salmonella…I admit that I do, not generally when I cook eggs – but (gasp!) I do lick the spoon, especially when making chocolate chip cookies!

I like to change up what one normally does with ‘instant’ foods. Making things from scratch has never been my strong suit, but coming up with new ways to use pre-made products, that’s something I really enjoy doing.

Rather than just eat cinnamon buns made from the tube dough – how about some scrumptious Cinnamon Sticks?!

Do you like espresso? Then you’ll love this Café Mocha flavored cake that bakes up fast in your microwave and is portion controlled! It is inspired by a recipe from Hungry-Girl.com.

I spent most of my day “offline” today in the kitchen, whipping up a ton of tasty, easy recipes that I’ll be sharing with you over the next month. Some of the recipes will be for product reviews, while others were just ones that were inspired from some e-mails I got, plus I was looking to use up some of the food in our fridge before it went bad!

And I’m off to the races! I suspect that there will be a lot of mint in my diet the next few days! But I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea (pun intended!). If you prefer a fruity taste to your drink, I don’t doubt that you’ll love these Fruit-Tea Smoothies that feature Pure Leaf Iced Tea.

Wow, I can’t believe that I already leave for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow! There are a few things that are iconic to the Derby; The Hot Brown, a sandwich made at The Brown where we’ll be staying, the hats, and Mint Juleps of course!

My mother-in-law made the best apple pie. I’ve always wanted to replicate it for my husband but I can’t make pie crust from scratch to save my life.  It’s okay though, that’s why they make refrigerated pie crusts!

If you surf Pinterest at all, you look at the pictures and go: Mmm good! There’s no fooling me though, I KNOW that my baking or crafting isn’t going to look like the pinned picture, but they inspire me none the less,
