Rustic Caramel Marshmallow Treat Layer Cake
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FireUpTheGrill #CollectiveBias As a kid, my home church always had a picnic during the summer.

Fruity Frozen Mini Trifles

This review was made possible by Mars and Blog Meets Brand. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions are 100% mine. If there’s one thing that’s awesome about summer, it’s spending more time outdoors… which means cooling off with ice cream! In fact, July is National Ice Cream Month, so let’s celebrate […]
Blueberry Super Granola

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council.

The Easiest Way to Dry Blueberries Ever!

Dried fruits are just a really nice thing to have on hand– they keep for a long time, are nutrient-rich, and can be added to a ton of recipes or snacks to add energy and flavor. Personally, I love having them as a snack alternative for my sweet tooth. (I’m a dessert monster, and it’s […]

Super Easy Reese’s-Stuffed Rice Krispies

This summer, John and I aren’t close to the beach like we were last year– we’re close to a river. So close, in fact, that this spring we bought a kayak so that John can enjoy walking it down and going for a float. I get seasick if I kayak too long, so I’ll just […]
Truffle-Infused Sea Salt Kale Chips

If you follow me on any social media– Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram— you probably already know that I have fallen totally head-over-heels in love… with our town’s farmer’s market. Our farmer’s market is not only so diverse in businesses and organizations that hawk there, it is only about half-a-mile from our house. That’s right. […]
Guiltless (and Delicious!) Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love dessert. I am not one of those girls who can only eat half a cookie or a bite of cake and be happy (but if that’s you, that’s awesome!). I have tried over … and over… and over again to diet by cutting out sweets completely. Know what happens? I end up exactly […]
