RECIPES :: The BEST of 2015

     
     

Truth. I love to bake as a hobby. I have always been the one in my family to whip up something for a party, a dessert idea for the holidays, bake a fun cake for a birthday celebration or try to get creative in the kitchen and I kinda love it. . . . it has become something I really enjoy. My daughter is at that age too where she is very inquisitive about what I make and I have enjoyed teaching her here these last couple of years and having her help when I need to whip up something fab, so I was not surprised that I had a lot of recipes make the cut and be some of the most viewed posts from last year.

TREATS :: Easy Kids Valentines Treats

Today I am sharing a last minute treat idea that you can use for your kids on Valentines Day or do what I have done, and use as a super easy no bake treat to take in to your kids classroom party at school because you run out of time to bake. Are you with me on this? Anyone ever been in this situation?

As much as I LOVE to bake, sometimes it's just not feasible to fit in your schedule but that doesn't mean that your treats have to be lame. Nope. I will share how easy it is to make them rock and the kids will love them too.

Grab the 'classics' at the store that are already pre-made. You know the ones . . . those that we don't allow our kids to eat all of the time because it's too high in sugar but was a major food group for us growing up. Yup, total kettle moment there but we are striving to feed our kids better right? ;)

So anything in the 'Little Debbie' food group works for this or grab some pre-made brownies, cupcakes or cookies from the bakery or if you can still find some Hostess items in your grocery, those are my personal "go-to's", when I need a no bake item quick and to make super cute! 

Grab some fun drinking straws or these dipping sticks, all of which can be found at your fave craft store, and attach a fun graphic to the end, like a Valentines Day topper from my shop, or something else that you have or can come up with. Just tape it on the stick and insert in the no bake treat and display in a fun way and your 'awesome momma' status is still in check. ;)

I hope this has helped you realize that not everything has to be made from scratch and to work with the time and resources you have, as it still can be fun and fab! 

What no bake items have you used for a kids party? What is your snack of choice? Let me know and share with me below . . .
