It’s isn’t hard to find a sweet treat for kids to eat at Halloween time. So when the new Betty Crocker Halloween Cookbook arrived, I skipped over the desserts and headed straight to the “Bewitching Bites” and “Mystifying Main Dishes,” as the book calls them. My kids are big on presentation, so I thought some [...]
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, SheKnows.com published a super festive piñata cookie recipe that went seriously viral. I love them! The burro-shaped sugar cookies are adorable, complete with hollow centers that you can fill with your favorite candies, like M&Ms. Kids can break them open and find a yummy surprise, just like a real [...]

It’s such an easy way to catch up with friends, share your favorite recipes, and bring home a few new ones. The holidays are all about traditions [...]
Did you know that Vanilla was the first flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? The brand may be known for their other more memorable flavors, but plain ol’ Vanilla is what got Ben & Jerry’s started. It’s received many awards and accolades over the years, and just happens to be my favorite, because it’s [...]
Chiquito was supposed to wear this zebra costume on Halloween. It’s soft, and has the cutest tail ever! But all he wanted to do was chew on it. So we passed the costume on to a friend. By the way, those of you who guess Maura would be Ariel… you were right! Disclosure: Costume provided [...]
