Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies

Ever since my boys were old enough to reach the pantry, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal has basically lived on our grocery list. You know how it is—one box disappears before the week’s over. My youngest suggested one day to make cookies out of them. That’s when cinnamon toast crunch cookies were born into our household. What started off as just-for-fun baking turned into one of our most loved cookie recipes. The scent of warm cinnamon and vanilla wafting through the house is reason enough to keep making these. But what really gets me every time is how chewy and sweet … Continue

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

Dessert

I love baking at home and making sweet treats. It’s something that started off as just a hobby, but over the years, it became my little escape. I’m a mom of two very active, always-hungry boys who are my official taste-testers and these cookies and cream cupcakes have become our go-to treat. Birthday parties, sleepovers, school bake sales, or even a random rainy Tuesday… these cupcakes always show up. What makes them extra special is not just the rich chocolate cookie crunch or the fluffy vanilla base—it’s the little hands that help stir the batter and sneak spoonfuls of frosting … Continue

Dairy-Free Cupcakes

Dessert

Baking has always been my escape—my little corner of joy in a kitchen that’s constantly buzzing with hungry kids, scattered flour, and the sweet scent of something good in the oven. But let me tell you, going dairy-free wasn’t exactly part of the plan. A few years back, one of my boys started having trouble with dairy, and suddenly, our go-to cupcake recipe wasn’t an option anymore. I tried store-bought alternatives, but they were either too dry, too dense, or just meh. I wanted something fluffy, moist, and just as delicious as the ones I grew up baking. So, I … Continue

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Dessert

Baking has always been a huge part of my life. The first time I made these Chocolate Chip Cupcakes, I was actually trying to surprise my husband on our anniversary. He loves anything with chocolate chips (cookies, muffins, pancakes, you name it!), so I figured, why not bake cupcakes packed with melty chocolate chips and topped with a rich chocolate buttercream? Let me tell you, they were an instant hit! They’re so easy to make from scratch. If you’ve been relying on store-bought cupcake mixes, let me tell you, once you try homemade chocolate chip cupcakes, you’ll never go back. … Continue

How To Make a Bento Cake

Bento-Cake-spiderman-themed-feature-image

Dessert

This year, when my youngest turned six, I wanted to do something different. He’s obsessed with tiny things, mini cars, tiny toy animals, even little sandwiches. So, instead of a big, fancy cake, I made him a bento cake—a cute, single-serving delight that fit perfectly in his tiny hands. The moment I placed that mini birthday cake in front of him, his eyes lit up like candles. “Mom, it’s just my size!”. He literally devour that adorable, fluffy cake with buttercream all over his cheeks, I bet he loved it. If you’ve never made a bento cake, don’t worry. These … Continue

Who doesn’t love the idea of eating ice cream that tastes like spun sugar? My two boys are absolutely obsessed with this Cotton Candy Ice Cream recipe. But after way too many store-bought tubs (and a few questionable artificial flavors), I decided to make it myself. It was honestly a game-changer. The first time I whipped up a batch, my kitchen smelled like a candy shop. The boys hovered around, sneaking spoonfuls before it even hit the freezer.

Cookie Monster Ice Cream

Dessert

The first time I made this Cookie Monster Ice Cream, I wasn’t prepared for the excitement. My kids went absolutely wild, especially my youngest, who I initially convinced that the Cookie Monster himself had whipped it up in our kitchen. Their eyes lit up at the vibrant blue color. This ice cream became an instant family favorite and one of those recipes that gets requested again and again, especially on hot summer days or as a fun weekend treat.

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Dessert

You know a recipe is good when your kids fight over the last bite. That’s exactly what happens every time I make this banana pudding ice cream. The first time? A total accident. It was hot, the kids were whining for a snack, and I had a bunch of sad-looking bananas on the counter. No way was I turning on the oven. So, I did what any desperate mom would do—I mashed the bananas, threw in some cream, tossed in vanilla wafers, and hoped for the best. An hour into freezing, my boys were already sneaking spoonfuls. By the time … Continue
