Football Stadium Sugar Cookies

Easy Football Stadium Cookies

I love several things in life.

Puppies.

Target.

Concerts.

Easy Football Stadium Cookies

But I really have a love for cookies and football. And these Easy Football Stadium Cookies are a perfect mix of two of my favorite things!

The sugar cookies are actually my Grandma’s recipe. Ok, well, they are a friend of my Grandma’s (shout out to Kathy! Woop! Woop!) but my Grandma did write it on an index card and include in her cookbook of favorite recipes. So I feel like it kind of counts. She makes them every Christmas. They are perfect for busting out the cookie cutters with.

Easy Football Stadium Cookies

But today, Grandma’s cookies are getting brought out for fall. I may love cookies, but I’ll be honest. I am not talented in the cookie decorating department. So when I say that these are easy and that even I was able to make them look good, I mean that they are truly, 100% super simple.

I love the little ‘people’ in the stands behind the field goal. And sugar crystals? Those are my favorite! This is essentially the sugar cookie of my dreams. My favorite cookie recipe. My favorite sprinkles. And my favorite sport.

Easy Football Stadium Cookies

Before you start. Here are few recommendations on things you will need to make these Easy Football Stadium Cookies:

  • Baking Mat – If you don’t have some of these yet, please do yourself a favor and get some. They are inexpensive and I promise you that you will use them 1,000,000 times. Don’t believe me on their awesomeness? Check out the thousand+ 5 star reviews.
  • Parchment Paper – You need it. You can’t make these without it. I like to buy the parchment paper that is pre-cut. In the long run it is cheaper. And now I’m spoiled by not having to tear it. I know, first world problems.
  • Sprinkles – The right sprinkles are key. You need the little ball sprinkles to represent all of the fans cheering in the crowd. These sprinkles scream happy, so I’m sure you will use them on everything – ice cream, pretzels, cookies, etc. I consider it an investment. Ok, maybe not, but I really like these! 🙂
  • Green Sugar Crystals – Sometimes I am highly annoyed with how difficult it can be for me to find sprinkles in basic colors at our local stores. And sugar crystals aren’t any different. I try to stock up with the seasons (St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas for green) but sometimes, they just can’t be found. If you can’t find them at your local store, Amazon is (always) a good option.

Strawberry Pound Cake With Fresh Strawberry Glaze

Strawberry Pound Cake With Fresh Strawberry Glaze Recipe

Summer to me is filled with pools, sunshine, and lots and lots of strawberries. We love them in our house. That means strawberry ice cream, strawberry shortcake, and most definitely strawberry pound cake! In fact, this strawberry pound cake recipe is loaded with strawberries. And not just that, but it’s topped with even more strawberries!

This is the only strawberry pound cake recipe you will ever need. I promise.

Strawberry Pound Cake With Fresh Strawberry Glaze Recipe

One of the secrets to this pound cake is the Greek yogurt.

Confession. I hate yogurt. I never eat it. And even worse, I think I’ve had it twice in my whole life. (To my defense, one of those times was earlier this year when I tried it again. I want to like it. I tried to like it. I did not like it.)

BUT. We always have yogurt on hand, because I love to use it in baking. It is a great for making your cakes come out super moist and perfect for replacing some of the butters and fats with. You know. To make your cake healthy. Ish.

Strawberry Pound Cake With Fresh Strawberry Glaze Recipe

And speaking of healthy-ish…do you see all of the strawberries in this pound cake? I don’t know about you, but that HAS to count as a serving of fruit. Ok. Maybe not quite.

Strawberry Pound Cake With Fresh Strawberry Glaze Recipe

What about since we added Greek yogurt to make it healthy-ish that no one would notice if you added chocolate chips? Ok that was just a plain lie.

  1. I need to give up the dream that cakes were healthy. Fruit or no fruit. Greek yogurt or no Greek yogurt.

    And…most importantly….
  2. You would most certainly notice chocolate chips because it would be AMAZING. And I highly recommend it.

Oh, and last thing before the recipe! This pound cake is good for the freezer too! If you have a ton of strawberries this summer season, whip up the cake and toss in the freezer. To keep our cakes the best in the freezer, I wrap first in parchment paper, then in a layer of plastic wrap and then I toss it in a Ziploc or use our food saver. When we are ready, just defrost. However, I would leave the glaze off until you are ready to serve.

Spring Orange Marshmallow Fluff Salad

Orange Marshmallow Fluff Salad

One of our kids is obsessed with cottage cheese. Cottage cheese and fruit. Cottage cheese and pretzels. Some days he even puts cheese on his cottage cheese. I can make a big dinner that I’m insanely proud of myself for and without a doubt, he will say “Can I just have cottage cheese instead?” So awhile back, I was looking for some cottage cheese mixes that he hasn’t tried yet. That’s when I found Fluff Salad.

Spring Orange Fluff Salad

Now, not only is he obsessed with cottage cheese, but he’s obsessed with Fluff Salad as well. It’s the perfect mix of cottage cheese, tons of fruit and whip cream. Oh and marshmallows. Because who doesn’t love mini marshmallows?

This recipe is perfect for taking to pitch-ins, picnics, reunions, or events. People like it. (A lot.) And it makes a lot. A lot. A lot. (Trust me when I say get a big bowl!)

Instructions
  1. In a really large bowl (trust me, you want a large one!) mix the cottage cheese and the pack of Jell-o.

  2. Fold in the Cool Whip. You will want to make sure that it is frozen or semi-thawed. If you let it fully thaw, then it won’t set up correctly.

  3. Add your oranges and pineapple. Gently mix. You want to be careful with the oranges!

  4. Last thing to add – the marshmallows. Mix one last time!

  5. Transfer your fluff from the bowl to a large baking dish. Smooth out the top and cover. Put in the refrigerator and chill for 4+ hours.

  6. This is perfect for taking to picnics or pitch ins! Nothing goes better with cottage cheese than fruit….except for fruit, whip cream and marshmallows. 🙂

Mary Poppins Party Idea – Spoonful of Sugar Cake Pops

Mary Poppins Party Idea – A Spoonful of Sugar Cake Pops

If you were to ever ask me what my favorite movie was, I would have to tell you that there were actually two. In no particular order, I would have to tell you Mary Poppins and Beauty and the Beast. I thought last year, with Beauty and the Beast being recreated that dreams were coming true.

And then.

Then, I got the news that so was Mary Poppins!! Wait, what?!?

In the sequel, which arrives in theaters this Christmas, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives.

MARY POPPINS RETURNS stars Emily Blunt as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure; Lin-Manuel Miranda as her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London; Ben Whishaw as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks; and Julie Walters as the Banks’ housekeeper Ellen; with Colin Firth as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank’s William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep as Mary’s eccentric cousin, Topsy.

The film also introduces three new Banks’ children played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth’s character.

Are you excited yet?!

I may have been a little excited because the other day I got in the kitchen to whip up a Mary Poppins style dessert for our kids as we settled down to watch the original. What better for a dessert than a spoonful of sugar?

Now, listen. Dustin and I own our own business. We have five kids. Some days I’m doing amazing to just get kids showered, off to school and fed for the day. Forget about dessert. So when I say these are easy to make. I mean, heck, even I can make them.

You Will Need

Mix your cake mix according to your package instructions.

Bake the cake and let it cool completely. In a large bowl, crumble the cake.

Add in the frosting. I use a traditional creamy buttercream frosting. I haven’t tried making it with the whipped frosting, so I can’t tell you how it affects the texture. Mix together thoroughly.

Lay a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Roll small cake balls and place on your sheet. These cake pops are going to have to be a smaller pop in order to fit into your spoon. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes until they are set.

(Hint: If your cake mix is hard to roll, place the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes!)

In a small bowl, melt the candy melts according to the package directions. Dip one of your cake pops into the white candy coating.

You want it to be evenly coated, but not dripping.

Add the sugar sprinkles and place back on the cookie sheet.

In your plastic spoon, place a drop of the white candy coating and before it hardens, place your cake pop. Put the spoons on your baking sheet and freeze for a few minutes until it can set. (It won’t take long!)

Sweet. Fun. Spoonfuls of sugar. Literally!

Oreo Spider Cookies & Cream Cookies – Halloween Recipe

Cookies and Cream Cookies With Oreo Spiders - Halloween Cookie Recipe

We are getting into one of my favorite times of the year! I am a HUUUUGE fan of Halloween – but the cute, not the creepy! It may only be August (well, it’s practical September now!), but Joshua already has his costume picked out. At first he didn’t want to dress up. He thinks he is too old to go trick or treating (begin the violins because I’m totally crying over here), but once he saw this ‘costume’ he changed his mind. Well, at least about the dressing up part.

I may need to bribe him with a batch of these cookies & cream cookies. They were that good. Total bribe material. Filled with Oreos and white chocolate these cookies are the perfect mix. I’m not an awesome cake/cookie/cupcake decorator, but these are so simple that even I can decorate them.

Ingredients


Servings:

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use non-stick spray. We like giant cookies so we used a whoopie-pie pan.

  2. In a bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

  3. In a second bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine.

  5. In a sandwich bag, crush the Oreos. You don’t want them to be finely crushed, you want to have chunks of Oreo in your cookies!

  6. Add the Oreos and the white chocolate chips to the batter and mix well.

  7. You will want the cookies to be large enough to hold an Oreo spider. We used a whoopie-pie pan on one batch and the other we used a large ice cream scoop.

  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to brown. Let them cool completely on the cookie sheet.

  9. Once the cookies are cool, use the decorating gel to ‘glue’ on an Oreo to the center of each cookie.

  10. Add a dot of decorating gel to the back of each of the candy eyes and stick it into place. And 8 gel spider legs finish your cookie.

  11. Let the cookies sit and the decorating gel will harden.

I recommend that you use:

spider products

 

  1. I’m all about the parchment paper! I buy the Kirkland brand on Amazon as it’s much bigger than what I can find in stores.
  2. I ordered this Whoopie Pie pan several years ago and I use it all the time! I think I’ve only used it once for actual Whoopie Pies but it’s our favorite pan to make cookies and brownies.
  3. The Wilton Black Decorating Gel is my go to!
  4. We use these fun candy eyes on all kinds of things. They make everything adorable.

Pokemon Pokeball Oreo Fudge

Easy Pokemon Pokeball Fudge

We have been so busy around here getting ready for homeschool (yes, you read that right!), enjoying the rest of our summer, and of course, catching Pokemon that it is hard to believe that we are getting anything else done! The other day Joshua asked if we could make some fudge and of course I was happy to oblige. But I thought I would do a fun twist on one of his favorites and make some Pokemon Pokeball fudge! This Pokemon inspired treat was a huge hit and is easy to put together! So whether you are having a Poke-party (I totally just made that phrase up…) or just looking for a fun treat this is sure to be a hit.

  11. Then, add the Oreo mix carefully spreading it across. Don't press hard, you don't want the Oreos to sink.

  12. Top with the red mixture. We added red sugar sprinkles to the top of ours but that is optional! It did help bring out some more of the 'red' color though.
  13. Place in the refrigerator to fully set. I keep mine in for about 5-6 hours. Pull out the parchment paper and cut.

This treat is super sweet and super fun!

[Tweet “What is better than playing #Pokemon Go? Eating Pokemon Pokeball Fudge of course!”]

A few tips:

  • Parchment paper is a must have!
  • If you would like to omit the Oreos the middle layer will lay nice and flat and you will get nice, clean layers.
  • This is a SWEET treat - you only need a little bit. And a big glass of milk is nice to have on hand.
  • Be sure to keep this treat in the refrigerator when you are not eating it. We have not tried yet, but I would think that you would be able to freeze it as well.

Fruit S’Mores…3 Ways

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #Clean2TheCore #CollectiveBias

fruit smores

If you had to ask me what our favorite sweet treats were in our house it would be a no brainer. We LOVE s’mores. We even bought a s’more maker earlier this summer and ever since, once a week it is movie night…and s’more night. Honestly, I’m not sure which one we look forward to more!

While we still love a good classic s’more, we have over time gotten a bit more creative. So today I’m sharing our three favorite fruit s’more combinations. But I will warn you — they are messy! So get prepared for chocolate or caramel drips on your shirt!

Fruit S'mores

Luckily, I have a tip for you on that too! A few weeks ago I was at Walmart and saw that they had these all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI and I picked one up. With a teenager…our laundry is tough stuff.

DSC_0452

It’s actually the first ever liquid and powder pack and safe for he washers. (Be sure to also check out their all® POWERCORE™ Pacs Plus Removes Tough Odors - perfect for combating those stinky gym clothes!)

DSC_0453

The products are super simple to use! They deliver a powerful clean and really help to brighten and whiten even our teenage-boy filled laundry, including when your Butterfinger caramel apple s’more drips all down the front of your new Pokemon shirt. (Tragedy I tell ya….tragedy!)

Fruit Smores 3 ways

SPEAKING of s’mores…here are our 3 favorite combinations. What is your favorite way to eat a s’more?

DSC_0433

First step for any of our fruit s’mores is to get your marshmallow all nice and toasty. Then, pick what kind of s’more you are going to make!

Strawberry Cheesecake S’more

DSC_0408

You will need:

  • Strawberries
  • Pre-made cheesecake mix
  • Milk Chocolate
  • Marshmallows
  • Graham Crackers

DSC_0437

On your Graham Cracker add two rectangles of milk chocolate. Then, top with your toasty marshmallow.

DSC_0438

Add a few strawberry slices. Now, this is good right here if you want to stop, but we like to kick it up another notch.

DSC_0439

Spoon a dollop of pre-made cheesecake mix on top of the strawberries.

strawberry

Enjoy!

Reese’s Banana S’mores

DSC_0407

You will need:

  • Banana slices
  • Graham Crackers
  • Marshmallows
  • Reese’s Bars

DSC_0434

This is the easiest to make, but one of the messiest! The chocolate and peanut butter get all melty and amazing. 🙂 This is one of my favorites for sure! Top your Graham Cracker with a marshmallow and Reese’s square.

DSC_0435

Add a few banana slices.

peanut butter banana

YUM!

Butterfinger Caramel Apple S’more

DSC_0423

You will need:

  • Apple slices
  • Caramel sauce
  • Marshmallows
  • Graham Crackers
  • Butterfinger bars

DSC_0429

Add Butterfinger slices to your marshmallow. (These are also great with Snickers bars!)

DSC_0430

Top with an apple slice.

caramel apple

Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with a second cracker.

This one is for sure Joshua’s favorite!

DSC_0449

But at least you know when your caramel sauce drips on your shirt that all® POWERCORE™ Pacs OXI is the perfect thing to get it out with!

What is your favorite way to top your s’mores?

Butterfinger Ice Cream Waffle Brownie Bites

Happy Summer!!! Are you having a sun filled, pool soaked blast yet? I hope so!! Joshua was so busy running around catching Pokemon with his friends the other day that I honestly didn’t even get to see him much! I wanted to make something special for him and his friends but it had to meet my summer cooking requirements: easy, no oven, fun and of course, delicious! Normally the treats that fall into this category are no-bake desserts or ice cream and while we love all sweets in our house…I really didn’t want that.

The other day while I was at Meijer doing our regular grocery shopping, I saw that they had these baking mixes from Nestle Toll House. I walked by them once thinking “I don’t bake in the summer.” But when I was getting our gallon of milk I thought to myself, “You know what would go amazing with this milk? Brownies!” So back I went to the baking aisle. These aren’t just regular brownies. They are Butterfinger brownies! YUM! So ever since I bought the mix, I’ve been thinking about those brownies!

I could pull out the slow cooker, but ehh even that seems like too much work on this (super) lazy summer day. So I decided to try something a bit unconventional.

Waffle maker…meet brownies. Yes! Brownies in the waffle maker!!

And it worked y’all. 100% worked. And we had fresh, hot brownies in minutes and I didn’t even have to warm the house up.

Here is how we made them.

There was a bag of Butterfinger pieces included in the kit. The box said for brownies to pour 2/3 of the bits in, but I added the whole bag. What? We love Butterfingers!

Spray your waffle iron with non-stick spray. Pour in your brownie mixture and cook. My waffle iron is one that you can flip from side to side, so I made sure to flip often. I cooked the first waffle for about 3 minutes on each side. The second waffle that I made, the iron was a little hotter than the first time so I cut back a bit on the cooking time.

Ta da! A waffle brownie! I think it would be fun to top the waffle like this and have a giant dessert for everyone to share, but I recently learned that some people don’t like caramel. WEIRD, I know! So since I wasn’t sure which kids liked caramel and which kids only wanted hot fudge, I decided to cut our brownie into four pieces.

This would be so much fun for a sleepover or birthday party too! Make the brownies, cut them into their pieces like above and have a build your own bar with toppings! I’m really loving the waffle brownie ideas!
