Growing up I couldn’t wait to get my Easter basket! My parents never really splurged that much on us kids, but I always knew there was going to be a basket on Easter morning. My sister and I would fight over who got the pink basket or the purple one. I think I always lost …

This is my take on an Easter chick. I found a little inspiration while perusing a new book I purchased called “Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh, My!“. The authors have a technique in the book using candy melts for one of their projects, and I thought why not use it for chicken wings??? The …

Her and her husband are from Czechoslovakia, and their idea of a baby shower is to celebrate with friends and have a nice evening. So I asked the mother-to-be where they were registered…..and she just stared at me. ”What is this registered?” …

Mmmmmmm…..time to take my new cinnamon sugar cookie recipe and make Valentine’s Day hearts with it. I used the simple toothpick drag technique, so if you’re in a time crunch to get some cookies done, these are for you! I took red and white flood icing, and used a #3 tip. Put stripes on the cookie, …

You can find tons online or at your local craft store. They’re even showing up in grocery stores. I thought a heart tree …
