They had little graham crackers, and vanilla frosting with sprinkles. I couldn't get my mom to buy them very often, but I loved those things. So, when I stumbled across something that claimed to taste like it... I jumped on that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will say that this funfetti cake mix dip isn't QUITE how I remember the Dunkaroo dips tasting, but it's pretty close. Close as I'm going to get, at least.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unless someone happens to be going to Canada and wants to bring me back some... because apparently those things <b>are still available in Canada.</b> It might be the pregnancy hormones talking, but I am seriously tempted to order some. (But, the least expensive is $8 for a 5 pack... I think I'll have to refrain. I don't think Nate would be understanding of that...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, back to the dip: this stuff is GOOD. It does make a <b>ton</b> though, so unless you are feeding a crowd and can pawn the leftovers off on someone, I really recommend cutting the recipe in half.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is <b>perfect</b>. I seriously wouldn't change anything about this recipe! <i>(Well, except for the calorie content...)</i> If you really wanted to cut down on the calories, you could try cutting out some of the Oreos, using light cream cheese, skim milk, etc. However... this is worth the calories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made this for Easter with my extended family (thus the Peeps, eggs, and green sprinkles), but you really don't need to decorate it unless it's for a holiday. I'm considering making this again soon just for a random Wednesday or something. Or possibly just because baby says it sounds good. ;) </span><br />

It might even be considered an addiction, at times. I have no regrets, though. <i>(Ok, well, this is pregnant me talking, not trying-to-lose-the-baby-weight me.)</i> I even got my grandma going on it, although I still think that's her own fault. <i>(Really! We went down to Florida to visit them, and she bought TWO jars for the week we were there. Her reasoning is that they were buy one get one free. So, this pregnant lady ate a lot of Nutella that week, and of course Grandma had some too!) </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've made this Nutella Bundt Cake a couple times, and it is always a HUGE HIT. Even before it gets into the oven, because I practically lick out the bowl for both the cake and the frosting. ;) It's <b>very</b> rich, but not so rich you can't eat a really big piece. Or two. OK, maybe I'm the only one who could eat two, but baby <b>LOVES </b>Nutella. It makes her happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, back to the cake... this was my contribution to Easter dinner yesterday, and the reason Mama always lets me make desserts for everything. It was, of course, a huge hit. I recommend making it for any and all upcoming occasions, because everyone loves it. And that's without even getting into JUST how easy this is. You literally just mix all the cake ingredients together for a few minutes, then pour into a well-greased bundt pan and bake it. The frosting is just as easy-- mix the 3 frosting ingredients together for a few minutes, then spread over the cake. Delicious, easy, and a crowd pleaser!</span><br />

The whole month of March, I kept telling myself I had lots of time for Easter goodies, none of that is til after our vacation anyways...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, we've been back for a week, and Easter is next week. Time to get on top of it! I'm still planning my contributions to Easter dinner with the family, but I wanted to get a few fun goodies for the kids going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a couple things that are fun for the boys to make-- Easter Marshmallow Bark, and Easter Oreo Bark. (Similar... kinda.) I know my mom really enjoys things similar to the oreo bark, so I made that tonight as a thank you for some stuff she's done lately! I had two super cute helpers, too. They were both pretty excited, they love making things like this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(This picture is actually from last year, when I didn't add peanuts.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and FYI: All measurements are rough. I just add things until it looks like enough. ;) This is really something that you can just add whatever you have to, and it'll be yummy. I've done similar things subbing pretzels, Reese's Pieces... I can't even remember. Whatever I had handy!</span><br />

My plans of having a post or two prepared before we left went out the window with prep for vacation, so I'll try to make it up this week. :) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(On the plus side, we thoroughly enjoyed spending a week in the sunshine state!)</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This entree/side dish is something that has been one of my favorites for a LONG time. The boys love it too! When I made it last, Gabriel had 4ish helpings... Nate, however, just isn't very fond of it; I've never figured out why. I try not to make it <b>too </b>often, knowing that he's not a fan, but I can't resist sometimes! I tone the spice down a little while making it for my family, but you could definitely add as much seasoning as you wanted!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make this into more of a one-dish meal, add some grilled chicken!</span></div>

Problem is, I couldn't decide <b>what</b>. So, I was searching Pinterest yesterday, and I found a recipe I'd pinned but hadn't made yet. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>(Shocker.)</i> I decided that these needed to be made into muffins!</span></span></div>

They are not overly sweet, I did try to make them slightly healthier (thus the applesauce vs using butter), but the boys devoured them. Gabriel ate 3 or 4... after eating 2-3 servings of dinner. Adrian only ate 1, but again, that was right after dinner! </span></span></div>

It's great as a party appetizer, or to make a small batch as a snack/addition to dinner. Nate & I <b>love</b> these! While pregnant, I could probably eat the whole plate... ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are definitely a only-once-in-awhile thing, though... the calories may not be that high, but between the cheese, sausage, and ranch: these little wontons are NOT good for you! Delicious, but a little less than healthy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, note: they do not reheat well, so try not to make more than you think you'll need! This recipe is easy to cut in half or quarters. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I would say that it's fairly obvious<span style="font-size: small;"> that I love sweet things, whether you actually know me in person or even if you just read the title of my blog. I am <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">a big fan o<span style="font-size: small;">f peanut butter/chocolate combos in particular. <i><span style="font-size: small;">(<span style="font-size: small;">Surprisingly, I don't like <span style="font-size: small;">regular Reese's much.

We found out we are having a girl (yay!), so I've been spending a lot of time in the evenings sorting boy clothes, getting it ready to sell, and then sorting the mountain of girl clothes I've bought. Between that, and being utterly exhausted... I haven't really been doing many new recipes. New ideas and taking photos requires energy that I just don't have! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did get some baking done this weekend, though... I made this Sunday morning, before Nate & I had a fun date! Partly to 'pay' my mom for watching the boys... partly because I wanted chocolate. ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a lot of variations on these cookies, and while these aren't always my go-to recipe, they are always a hit!</span><br />

I saw the idea on pinterest, and then just did what I wanted for it. ;) None of this is precise-- use whatever veggies you want, and whatever seasonings you want!

Once in a while though, I have the desire to try something that's fairly fancy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've never made any "roll" before. No pumpkin roll, etc. However, I got silicon mats recently (some just before Christmas, and more for Christmas) and I thought that would make it easier, so.... I jumped out of my box. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And whoa, was it worth it. This swiss cake roll is heavenly. You can use any freeze-dried berries or fruit, so you can change the flavor as desired. (I found strawberries at Aldi's, so that's what I went with.) Personally, I think that it could use more strawberry flavor, but that's a preference thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do think the use of silicon mats made this process <b>much </b>easier than without. If you don't have any, sub parchment paper in the pan and a clean towel for after the cake is done. </span><br />

This loaf of bread did not even last one full day in my house. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a quick bread, so smaller than a regular yeast bread, and that makes it okay... right? ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With things like this, it's hit or miss with my husband. He might love it, or he might not. He's not much of a sweet bread kinda guy. This, however, is clearly an exception. I think he and I did the most damage to it. The boys each had a few big pieces as their afternoon snack, so they definitely contributed too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is definitely a quick bread worth making. It was SO easy, and obviously a hit. <i>(I had hoped to take some for a snack tomorrow to work.... that's clearly not happening.) </i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made some changes to the recipe to make it slightly healthier and more likely to be enjoyed by my family, but if you are looking to gain some pounds check out the original link at the bottom. This is not a low calorie food. ;) </span><br />

When strawberries are in season here in northern Michigan, we usually buy at least 2 flats... so over 20 pounds. <i>At least. </i>I make 3 or more batches of jam, we eat strawberries for days, and then I freeze whatever is left. Last year, Gabriel & I picked some vs doing the pre-pick, but I think this year I'll have to just buy some that are already picked. I'm due June 25th, so... picking probably isn't going to work out. I'm still hoping that making strawberry jam & freezing strawberries is going to be doable. If baby comes early, this might get interesting. ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After starting to buy local, fresh strawberries a few years ago, I just can't buy them in the store anymore. They just aren't comparable! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best thing about getting so many and freezing them in the summer is having strawberries all winter! Then, when I stumble across a strawberry recipe... I don't have to use mediocre ones from the store. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe is fabulous! These muffins are perfectly sweet, and <b>full</b> of strawberries! My one complaint is that, using frozen strawberries, they seem to be a bit soggy. That didn't stop anyone else from devouring them, though! <i>(Didn't stop me, either.) </i>I always warn people if I'm slightly less than satisfied with the way a recipe is turning out, and everyone told me with this that they will gladly take my rejects. ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If you use frozen strawberries, cut down slightly on the milk. If you use frozen sugared strawberries, the 1/4 cup sugar is not needed! (Unless you want it, in which case I won't judge.) </b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some things I've made, that I have old pictures for, that I apparently did not post. Some are intentional-- waiting to make again for a better picture, etc. Some are <b>not </b>intentional-- like this Nutella Ribbon Pie! I definitely thought I had already posted it... oops. Apparently I've been holding out on you guys. ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my friends showed me this recipe ages ago, but it was a video on facebook... in another language. So I had to come up with this on my own, based on the video! It's actually very easy, although it looks slightly complicated. <b>Worth making!!</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Essentially, this is thin layers of pie crust, layered with Nutella. Thin layers of flaky, delicious pie crust, smothered in Nutella. It's heaven. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I discovered that this wasn't on here the other day, when I made two--one for my family, one for me to take to work. </span><i style="white-space: pre-wrap;">(Just in case you were wondering just how awesome it is to work with me.) </i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Of course I have to post it now! This is an old picture, however. I like to double it and make two, but I didn't have enough Nutella for that.<i> (Scandalous, I know. Don't worry, I got more Nutella when I got groceries this weekend.)</i> I knew I should take one to work in addition to the one for home, so I just made them both smaller. Thus, no picture. </span></span></div>

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper/silicon mat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are pea size.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the flour mixture, gently toss with a fork. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of the water at a time, until all the flour mixture is moistened. Form pastry into 5 balls. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Warm Nutella slightly in microwave for 20-30 seconds. DO NOT overheat, just enough to make it more spreadable.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a lightly floured surface, slightly flatten one pastry. Roll pastry from center to edges into a very thin circle. Using a medium sized bowl, cut out an even circle. Transfer to cookie sheet, then spread with a very thin layer of Nutella. Repeat for 4 layers of Nutella; top with final layer of pastry.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Set a small glass on top of center of pie, then cut ½” strips out from center, making a sun. (Approximately 12-15 strips.) Remove cup. Do not separate strips from center. Twist each strip twice, then press end back down slightly to hold. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then very carefully remove to plate. Enjoy!</span></li>

The boys didn't seem to have a preference--they were eating the pieces until they saw me mashing it with my spoon, then they mashed theirs too. ;) I would recommend cutting the pieces smaller, but it did work this way if you don't have much time to prep.</span></span></div>

I actually meant to take another photo last night, but the loaf that I originally meant to keep for us... was mostly gone. Between Nate, the boys, and I, we ate most of it in one afternoon. I'm eating the last couple pieces for breakfast. Doesn't look like we're sharing all of the other loaf now... oops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, it's really that good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is actually my <a href="http://dontjudgemeformysweettooth.blogspot.com/2014/01/cinnamon-swirl-bread.html">Cinnamon Swirl Bread</a> recipe, but it's almost like monkey bread. I got the idea from another blog, but I prefer my cinnamon swirl bread recipe, so I adapted it for that. Funny thing is that my cinnamon swirl bread never goes this fast. When it's in this form, it's SO easy to snack on. (So, tip: if you want it to last, but want the same flavor, do the swirl bread.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Warning: </b>this is addictive. I'm sorry. This only makes one loaf, but I basically always recommend doubling it. </span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In small saucepan, warm milk and 1 tablespoon butter until butter is melted. Set aside until lukewarm. In small bowl, mix water and yeast until yeast is dissolved. In large bowl, add 2 tablespoon sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Pour in milk and butter. Mix until sugar and salt is dissolved. Stir in yeast and water. Mix in 2 ½ cups flour. Turn out onto floured board and knead in the remaining flour or until the dough is soft and smooth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put dough in greased bowl and turn dough so that the top is greased. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 60 minutes, or until double in size. Grease and flour a 9”x5” loaf pan. Set that aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Punch down the dough, and let rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to approximately 12”x20”. Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter on top of the dough, then sprinkle remaining cinnamon & sugar on top. <i>(Or however much you want... I don't measure.)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slice the dough into approximately 20 equal sized pieces. Layer them in the loaf pan like a flip book, with the cinnamon sides all facing the same direction. Place a clean towel over the pan and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or almost doubled in size. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350°. Place loaf in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. <i>(BE CAREFUL. It is easy to under bake this, but it's just as easy to over bake. Keep a close eye on it around 40 minutes, and test the soft looking pieces slightly for doneness.)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes. If needed, run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread, and invert onto a clean board. Using a clean plate, carefully invert so that it’s right side up.<span style="font-size: 16px; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <i>(This part's hard, and usually messy. I use my hands, to be honest, it's easier that way.)</i></span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, on one of the blogs I read, she shared a recipe called "Kitchen Sink Skillet Cookie." It's very similar to my <a href="http://dontjudgemeformysweettooth.blogspot.com/2014/05/heavenly-skillet-cookie.html">Heavenly Skillet Cookie</a>. I liked the look of the new recipe, but decided to play with it a bit and combine some ideas. This was the result! </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is, without a doubt, perfect. And since it was a combination of a couple different recipes, it needed a name! Adrian didn't really come up with anything (but hey, he's only 2 1/2, so...). Gabriel, however, came up with the name "M&M Cookie Pie." (And let me tell you, he was pretty proud of himself!) </span></span></div>

Use Reese's Pieces, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, whatever... </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>(Gabriel does strongly recommend M&M's though!

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 tablespoons unsalted butter</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">½ cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 large eggs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 ½ cups all-purpose flour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">½ cup old-fashioned oats</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">¾ teaspoon salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">¾ teaspoon baking soda</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 cup mini M&M’s</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 cup chocolate chips</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">½ cup white chocolate chips</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">½ cup peanut butter</span></li>

</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350°, and spray cast iron skillet (or 9”x9” pan) with cooking spray. <span style="font-size: 16px; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; whisk to combine. Add flour, oats, baking soda, salt; mix well. Add in M&M’s and chips. Reserving a heaping cup, press the dough into the skillet. Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In a small microwave safe bowl, melt peanut butter til runny. (Approximately 30 seconds.) <span style="font-size: 16px; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pour peanut butter over the pressed dough. Drop tablespoon-sized chunks of the reserved dough into the skillet.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges begin to barely crisp up and most of the top surface of the cookie has set. The center may not be completely set. <i>Careful not to overbake! </i></span></li>

We have a lot of recipes that are similar, and I tend to be afraid to jump out of my box (very far, at least) for dinner. However, this combines things that Nate & the boys all like-- chicken, taco seasoning, salsa, rice... Salsa in a main dish, however, is why this is out of my box. I am not a big salsa fan, but the boys loved this! </span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place rice mixture in casserole; top with chicken. Top with reserved sauce mixture, then shredded cheese. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes; uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until sauce bubbles and juice of chicken is clear when cut.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cool for 10 minutes, then garnish as desired.</span></li>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are on my facebook, you probably saw my story yesterday, but I hope you'll forgive my re-telling!</span></i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My boys were having their afternoon snack yesterday after Gabriel got out of school, and part of it was dried cranberries. (Which they <b>love.</b>) Gabriel announced that we should make cookies with cranberries in them someday. Well, no time like the present--I was already planning on making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies sometime soon, so I asked if he wanted to add cranberries! He was so excited that these were <b>his</b> cookies! </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(And no, this never would've occurred to me on my own... Have you ever read the quote "oatmeal raisin cookies that look like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the reason I have trust issues."? Yeah, that's fitting for me.)</span></i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We subbed out a little over half of the chocolate chips from my regular oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe for dried cranberries, and he decided to do the rest as a combination of milk chocolate/mini chocolate chips. <i>(I gave him quite a few different options... but you can't just pick one!)</i> They turned out great! I made some as regular chocolate chip, for me, but the boys devoured quite a few of the cranberry ones! They were both fairly heartbroken that they could only have two before dinner. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next time I might try again and see if he wants to do white chips, which quite a few people suggested, but we'll see. He's his mother's child-- that might not be good enough for him. ;) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's not berry season. Or fruit season. It's cold, and everything is covered in inches <i>(or feet, for the unlucky)</i> of snow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But let's be real: after the holidays, we all need something that makes us feel good about eating it. Even if it's not <i>really</i> healthy, we can at least pretend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, I'm pretending this morning. <i>(And my <strike>little</strike> pregnant self thought it sounded good.) </i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is really similar to most other crumble recipes, but I think it's my favorite now. I used it a bit this summer, and it's definitely wonderful. I've only ever used it with berries, but I think it would be awesome with peaches. (Which is going to be my next attempt!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is something that, regardless of the weather, will make you feel like summer! </span><br />

No harm came to little baby Lee in the making of this... I made it non-alcoholic so the boys & I could enjoy it too! ;) </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This one would be nice to try with alcohol at some point, too, but I haven't done that yet so I can't attest to how it is. It's very sweet, and warms you up, all the way down to your toes! I love the combo of the grape juice, apple cider, and cranberry juice! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I make another warm punch during Christmastime, and I can't say which is my favorite! I love this type of drink, especially when we are all gathered at my mom's house for a holiday.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made it for Thanksgiving, and we were sipping on it all day. Adrian didn't seem fond of it, but he's not really used to warm drinks yet. Gabriel loved it! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One tip: the cinnamon sticks really should be removed after a couple of hours. We didn't, and those last few cups were VERY cinnamon. Remove a little bit earlier, or put them in later, if you have people who aren't big cinnamon fans. You could always skip them completely.... but I love cinnamon, so I can't really recommend it. :) </span></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know it's two days before Christmas, and you are probably expecting more Christmas recipes, but I couldn't wait to share this! This is a great, easy recipe to make with very little effort: perfect for one of the days before Christmas, when you don't have much time!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've talked before about my not-love of processed foods, but I will admit I love the box mix of Spanish rice. Just to eat, and in my empandas. <i>(Which I just realized I never shared the recipe for... that will come soon!) </i>I kept promising myself that I would try to make it myself, and I finally did!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, if you like the box mix, I think you'll like this! It would be easy to adjust seasonings based on your household's tastes. I started with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, because my little boys don't like too much spice. However, next time, I will definitely add more! 1 tablespoon is fairly light.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added some cooked, shredded turkey and some cheese to make this a meal!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

My husband did! He's pretty awesome. ;) Nerdy, handsome, makes cute babies, and he can cook/bake. <i>(When I let him in my kitchen.) </i>He's quite the catch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And... He <b>loves</b> bread. Loves it. And, let's be honest...as much as I love it too, I don't make it enough. Especially this time of year, when I am making sweets about daily. So, I am learning to relinquish control of the kitchen (which is hard) and stay out of the way when he occasionally wants to make it. He loves breadsticks too, and between him and I we put these together awhile ago. <i>(Mostly him, to be honest, but since I'm the baker he did ask for my advice.) </i>Last night I finally remembered to take a picture of them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are <b>awesome. </b>This is, truthfully, a basic recipe. We always put garlic, butter, and parmesan on them, but you can do whatever you want. Onion, etc. </span><br />

Mainly to encourage others to make it (and use the molds!): hard candy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back when Nate & I got married and I was just starting to REALLY cook, the idea of using a candy thermometer intimidated me. Looking back, I'm not really sure why, but it did. Now I pull out my candy thermometer for everything that calls for it--if the recipe is temperature sensitive, I <b>always</b> use it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually started making hard candy partly to do something fun & new, and partly to send some to my grandma in Florida. She used to make it, years ago, but doesn't anymore. Now I send about 5 flavors to her every year! I have to make sure she remembers that I'm her favorite, while she's so far away. (Grandpa, too!) ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've never made hard candy, it might seem intimidating, but the hardest part is making sure <b>not to breathe in when you are mixing in the flavoring.</b> Trust me. You'll only smell that flavoring for <b>days. </b><i>(Cinnamon is effective at clearing your sinuses, though...)</i> The rest, though you have to move quickly at some points, is easy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Remember, comments are loved! Give it a try, and let me know! What are your favorite flavors?</span></b><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">⅔ cup light corn syrup</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">¾ cup water<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 dram lorann flavoring <i>(Anise, wintergreen, butterscotch/butter rum, and cinnamon are the 4 biggest hits in my family!)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">food coloring<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></span></li>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a 2-quart kettle or large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer if using<i> (which I always recommend)</i>, making certain it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continue to cook the syrup, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 260º; add drops of coloring until desired hue is achieved. <i>(Recommendations vary here, but I usually do about 20 for most colors, that's enough to make it nice & bright.) </i>Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove from heat precisely at 300°, or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water. After boiling action has ceased, add flavor and stir. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carefully pour syrup onto the prepared greased and foil lined cookie sheet. (As the sugar mixture begins to set up, you may want to score with a large knife to mark squares.) Do not refrigerate. Alternately, pour into greased molds. <i>(I </i><b><i>always</i> </b><i>recommend using molds. I started last year, and will never go back!)</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cool completely. Break sheet candy into small pieces and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Store in airtight containers between waxed paper. Store hard candy in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A huge, huge Harry Potter nerd. Quiz me on HP, and you'll realize my nerd level. I'm quite proud of it. I won't, however, admit how many times I've read the series. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Mainly because I can't remember...)</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been dying to try making my own butterbeer, but I just haven't liked the recipes I've seen for it. They just didn't sounds quite... right. <i>(I found one today though! Have to buy a few ingredients, but I am hoping to try that, maybe for Christmas!)</i> Same for butterbeer fudge. I had a recipe saved on Pinterest for awhile, but it wasn't a real fudge recipe, to me. I LOVE my fudge recipes, and this one just wasn't right. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, I found another butterbeer fudge recipe recently that l could easily adapt to my fudge recipe!! The original I found on <a href="http://cookiedoughandovenmitt.com/harry-potters-butterbeer-fudge/">Cookie Dough & Oven Mitt</a> -- I actually just discovered this blog, and I'm going to have to dig through it some more! Again though, it isn't fudge the way I make it, and I really like my tried & true recipe. So, I took some of her ideas and altered my traditional recipe!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Couple of tips/thoughts: </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I only added 1 teaspoon of each extract, she calls for 1 1/2. I just wasn't quite brave enough to put that much flavoring in. Contemplating trying it next time, but I thought it was great, and it has my husband's approval, so... we'll see! If you try it, let me know!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember to use a candy thermometer if you have one! I've never successfully made fudge without one. If you can go without, good for you--you must be more awesome than I am!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">DO NOT let it come to a boil too quickly. It's not good.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, I really don't recommend butter. I always use margarine, I have more success with that. (Country Crock or Imperial being my preferred brands).</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b style="font-size: x-large;">Remember, comments are loved and make me happy! </b><i>(And help me to know that someone is actually reading this!)<b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b></i><b style="font-size: x-large;">What's your favorite type of fudge?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></b></span></div>
