Yes. I’m still on the corn “thing”. Forgive me?
This time the sweet treat involves a little brown sugar. Messy to make. But a mess worth making! [Read more…]

Happy Labor Day!
I came close to posting a simple “Howdy doody I hope you’re having a great Labor Day!” but then I decided the day off might lend you an opportunity to bake. If that is the case than, girlfriend, you NEED this recipe.
Truth is I can hardly take it. Fall is SO close. My sons tell me I can’t light the pumpkin candle yet. They are still trying to eek out a few more summer activities. They’ve got seven days and than I’m lighting my candle regardless. [Read more…]
Easy-To-Make Dump Bars {Kid-Friendly!}

I still remember how crazy life was when I lamented to my friend “I need a chocolate bar recipe that’s fast and easy.”
My kids were much smaller but each was headed a million directions— all at a million miles an hour. Of course, that didn’t stop the need for treats at school or a friends slumber party. A box mix is great in a pinch but sometimes one hankers for variety! [Read more…]

Word! Last weekend I had the best ice cream treat I’ve had in a long time. It has five ingredients and it is SO simple to make! I thought about waiting to share it for when the days get warmer but it occurred to me that there may be a few folks out there who could use it for graduation festivities!
I’m wasting time! Check out the recipe and get this bad boy in the freezer. You (AND your guests) will be glad you did!

Ingredients
- 3 Cups Coffee Double Strength
- 1 1/4 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Quart Whole Milk
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla
Servings: People
Instructions
- Put the sugar in a bowl. Add hot, double strength coffee. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Add whipping cream, whole milk and vanilla. Stir.
- Pour contents into shallow containers and freeze for 24 hours. Remove from freezer approximately one hour prior to serving (consistency should be "slushy").
Recipe Notes
No hidden DoAheads for this recipe other than the fact that it's a frozen treat and it will last in the freezer. However, unless you are feeding mice it won't last long. My tribe of five could pound it down in one sitting. If you want to turn this into a DoAhead double or triple the batch!
