Holiday Baking – Dark Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies

This holiday baking recipe is part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #HolidayButter #cbias campaign. All opinions expressed are my own.

Baking delectable treats is a huge part of the holiday season. They are an important part of dinner parties, gatherings, and as gifts. If there is one thing I learned about gift giving, it’s that I can rarely go wrong with delicious treats.

(Not so) Spooky No Bake Halloween Dessert and Juice Recipes

I created these Halloween recipes and a free bottle label printable as part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #SpookyCelebration campaign. All opinions expressed are my own. 

October has been filled with a bunch of Fall themed crafts and activities. The boys are loving all the things involving pumpkins, leaves, and apples. However, I know they are patiently waiting for the candy treats. To get them psyched about Halloween, I made them a spooky dessert and juice snack.

Mini Fruit Salad Cups – A Quick & Easy Appetizer

I am working with Fisher to share and create recipes using Fisher Nuts and tools they provided. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

I love mini versions of different dishes and bite-size foods. I can be completely satisfied with an all appetizer dinner. These mini fruit salad cups are simple to make and can be easily adjusted for different preferences.

Bumbleberry Summer Sundae + Cascade Platinum

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

During the warm summer months, not only do we grill often, but I also enjoy making lots of summer desserts. Some of my favorites involve  lots of fruits and ice cream. When I saw Gail Simmons recipe for Bumbleberry Summer Sundae, I knew we had to try it.

Almond Cookie Bites Recipe Using Fisher Nuts

I am working with Fisher to share and create recipes using Fisher Nuts and tools they provided. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

Topping a cookie or cupcake with a fun design can make a huge difference in a dessert. I enjoy finding cute ways to add character to my baked goods and bring it to life. These almond cookies are no different. With all the warm weather and gardening, I think of beautiful flowers. I came up with a creative way to add a flower to almond cookies using almond slices.

Stand Up Bunny Cake & Carrot Topped Cupcakes {Tutorial}

How to Make a Stand Up Easter Bunny Cake Recipe

A couple years ago when I started Nifty Mom, one of the first posts I wrote was how to make an Easter Bunny Cake (which was adapted from this video I saw). The cake was a huge hit with family and friends plus it’s pretty simple to make. With Easter coming up, I have been thinking about the cake again. Since it was my first attempt at cake decorating and it lacked pictures, I decided to update the tutorial for you with step-by-step pictures and the addition of carrot topped cupcakes.

Nutella No Bake Cookies

When I first moved out on my own, I struggled with cooking.  I had two main things that I could make that didn’t involve a box of cereal or lunch meat. I’ve had my share of kitchen disasters and the one that stands out most was my first attempt at no bake cookies.
