It doesn't happen very often but occasionally the stars align and mommy gets a night to herself. Even though I end up spending the majority of the night working and cleaning the house I always try to reserve some "me" time before I pass out early. It isn't very often that I can actually watch everything I record during the week. I don't remember the last time I got to read a book. Heck, I don't even remember the last time I got to pee by myself. I'm sure it was before my daughter was born. … [Read more...]
Spider Ice Cream Recipe: Halloween Mint Chocolate Chip Dessert
In my opinion, mint and chocolate go together like spiders and shoes. In fact, I am convinced that the reason people keep going back to Olive Garden is not for their alfredo, rather it is for the Andes Mints which they so generously give you at the end of the meal. Okay, well, maybe it is for both of those things. This is one spider, however, that you will want to keep your shoes off of! He is as cute as he is tasty, and at just a fraction of the cost of a meal at Olive Garden he's a real … [Read more...]
Recipe & How To: Bullseye the Target Dog Cake Pops
Another fun Bakerella creation is Bullseye, Target's mascot and resident hound. I love Target and these Bullseye cake pops are darling (the lifesaver collar? Brilliant!).

{Halloween Recipe} Owl Cupcakes
The following is a guest post from Kristi... To make a long story short, I'm lazy. Really, I am. Last night at about 10:00PM I began planning my daughter's birthday party, which was scheduled to begin a mere 12 hours later. I've seen people's pinterest boards, I know that normally a doting parent should begin party preparations 3-4 months in advance. But who has the time for that? (It took all of my self restraint to not say "whooooooo" just now). When I saw these cute cupcakes I knew I … [Read more...]
{Halloween Recipe} Icy Witch
Halloween Witch Recipe: Icy Witch These are going to be the perfect treat for my daughter's Halloween / birthday party! These little witches are ridiculously easy to make and cuter than they are scary (perfect for my little girl). Something to note - the recipe calls for 4 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. An interesting thing about those Famous Wafers is that they are about as tricky to find as an actual witch itself. Not kidding. I don't know if Nabisco is trying to create a sense of … [Read more...]
{Thanksgiving Recipe} French Silk Pie
A couple years ago I was in charge of the pies and the whipping cream. So as much as I wish I could tell you that someone in the family had a whipped cream allergy, the real reason there is only cream on half the pie is because I grossly underestimated how much cream you need to top three pies. Simply put, this is a decadent, creamy, thick, rich, amazing chocolate pie. You would expect nothing less from the beloved Pioneer Woman. This pie is a favorite on our dessert table, and this is the … [Read more...]
