11/21/2012- Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Easy and SO yummy. Essentially it's just the filling of pumpkin pie put into a crock pot. Either way, we gobbled it up (<--see what I did there?).

See The Pin!
I'm pretty sure the recipe is the exact same as the pumpkin pie recipe, just crustless. Throw some whipped topping in after it cools and you're golden. So yummy.

Mine wasn't as creamy as the photo is, the edges of it got a bit...hard? That's not the right word but it's the only one I can think of.

11/16/2012 Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Rolls

Have crescent rolls?
Have peanut butter?
Have chocolate chips?

Then make these!

It had been a long day and I wanted to have something sweet for dessert but also something that was easy. I'd seen the Pin once and it popped in my head when I was trying to figure out what to make.

Noah practiced spreading the peanut butter with his little knife.

He was very careful about where he put the chocolate chips

Then we not so patiently waited for them to bake and then cool

Yum!!!

10/31/2012- Candy Corn Fruit and S'mores Bites

We kept power and it wasn’t too bad out, so Hallowe’en was still on! We got together with our neighbours to do a yummy dinner, trick-or-treating and then have some cocoa and dessert. I had seen these on Pinterest and thought the kids would love a fun fruit and dessert. The fruit cups are simple; pineapple, mandarin oranges and whipped topping. Tada! Candy Corn Fruit Cups!

The s’mores bites were alsovery simple. You take a giant marshmallow, dip it in chocolate and roll it in crushed graham crackers. Easy peasy!

10/08/2012- Brownie in a mug

What's one of the best treats to have at night that's chocolaty and gooey? Brownies! What do you do if you don't want to make a tray of brownies that takes 30 minutes in a hot oven? Make it in a cup!

I found this amazing looking Pin and knew it was a must. It's disgustingly simple and incredibly delicious. So delicious, in fact, I don't have a picture of it cooked. The first I made was devoured by Noah too fast and the second...well, that was mine.

9/23/2012- ABC Spoons, Peanut Butter Cups

I started out with this cute and educational Pin that would be great for Noah. It was a set of spoons with a capital letter that you would lay a clear spoon (with corresponding lowercase letter) on top of to help identify and match upper and lower letters.

The same day I also really wanted to make these peanut butter cups for Aaron (I can't have chocolate because of caffeine). They were easy(ish) to make and I tried doing the tricks like she said, but it didn't work out. The chocolate on bottom worked ok, but the peanut butter layer and topping wouldn't flatten, no matter what I did. Everyone said they loved them though. I shared them with my friend Jenny and my neighbor and his parents.

Should have looked like this

But it came out like this
