Easy Chocolate Chip French Toast Bake

One of our favorite Christmas recipes is our French Toast biscuit bake. Because, yum! Who doesn’t love an easy and delicious recipe.

Basic Cooking Tips for Beginners

Cooking is not always something that comes naturally, I know I do enjoy it though. Here are a few basic cooking tips for beginners that may come in handy. I grew up watching my parents cook and through that I picked up cooking basics for beginners. And by the time I was 8, my mom was teaching me how to cook. I made my first meal, pork chops and rice, from a cookbook for kids. I was also learning how to bake, both independently and with my mom’s assistance.

We had originally partnered with Vintage Seltzer for this recipe and it really couldn’t be any easier to make! This 2 ingredient cake recipe is so delicious and so quick! I love to bake. For some it’s a therapeutic activity, for some it’s their profession, for some it’s something that they dread. For me, baking brings back memories of spending time in the kitchen with my mom.

So I’ll look for my shortcuts when I can and I’m definitely not above using a boxed mix to make a cake. However, I may not always have the additional ingredients on hand…

Crushed Candy Cupcake

If you’re looking for a way to use up that leftover Halloween candy, this is the recipe for you! My kids absolutely LOVED making this crushed candy cupcake.  Growing up, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. My mom usually made my costumes and I always looked forward to trick or treating with my friends. As I started getting older, Halloween started to lose some of it’s appeal but becoming a mom changed that again. Granted, I don’t always look forward to Halloween in terms of dealing with trick or treaters, but over the past few years I’ve started to enjoy it more. I’d love to start really decorating for Halloween again but in the meantime, I have fun planning ahead for Halloween. We usually…
