Soft And Chewy Snickerdoodles

October 17, 2017 by Kim 2 Comments

Soft and chewy snickerdoodles are a favorite of our family. With the cinnamon sugar coating and the soft center, these cookies will be a must on any cookie tray!

Soft and chewy snickerdoodles are a must make on any cookie tray. Christmas is coming up in a couple of months. It is never too early to start planning your teacher’s gifts, cookie trays and shopping lists!

Okay, so it is a little early, but really, these soft and chewy snickerdoodles would work great for a 4th of July picnic as well. Who doesn’t love a great cookie recipe?

I could not believe how easy this caramel apple crisp with apple caramel cookies was to make. So simple to make and it starts with pre-made cookie dough for the crust. Totally delicious!

Caramel Apple Crisp with Apple Caramel Cookies came to me in the middle of the Kroger store actually. I walked past a Caramel Apple Cookie package and I thought to myself: surely there is something I could do with these great cookies.

Caramel Apple Cookies, y’all.

I hadn’t actually made any desserts in a while over in the Strawn Homestead. Let me tell you, that has the potential of causing a riot. When your mom/wife is a food blogger, there are certain expectations that the family has of me. One would be desserts. So on a beautiful Saturday, I put together this Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Roll before the town wide garage sales.

Then I hit the garage sales and found a queen air mattress for $4, Coleman and almost brand new! But back to the pumpkin pie ice cream roll. I just had to figure out a way to tell you about my deal. 😉

So Moms, has the craziness of the school year started for you yet? It certainly has here. Homework, school drop off/pick up, after school activities and school sports are running strong already and it has only been 2 weeks!

Our oldest is very active in school. We enjoy watching him participate in activities and sports and one of our favorites is cross country. Cross country runners need so much endurance, running those three miles up and down hills, through grass and mud. As a mom, I want to give him as much energy and nutrients as I can before a race to help him to the finish line. Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars with Sir Bananas® Chocolate Bananamilk is just the snack needed.

One Bowl Applesauce Cake

This one is for my mom. A favorite of mine from childhood. Delicious One Bowl Applesauce Cake with a fabulous browned butter lemon frosting. Nuts? If you insist. I don’t. But that is okay. 😉

I may be having a birthday coming up. It *may* be a big one. Okay, it is a big one. But let’s focus on the cake, shall we? The One Bowl Applesauce Cake if you don’t mind.

My mom would make this for my siblings and myself for our birthdays. Yes, some years I would choose a store bought cake. But eventually, as I grew older, I realized that no store bought cake even came close to this homemade wonder. Oh, yum.

Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Caramel Popcorn

August 10, 2017 by Kim 2 Comments

Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Caramel Popcorn truly has the taste of a chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream cone. It is drizzled with chocolate and adds the perfection of sweet and salty. Oh, you will be the talk of the classroom parties.

This Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Caramel Popcorn was made with leftover ingredients. I had chocolate almond bark and vanilla almond bark in my cabinet for, ahem, forever. Not enough for the chocolate or vanilla to be used individually in a recipe but the perfect amount for them to join hands and work together.

Teamwork. There’s no “I” in team ya know.
