Enjoy a bite-sized treat that you can make with just a few ingredients with this s’mores granola bites recipe.

You have been warned. Today’s post is going to be a little different from what you are used to seeing with DIY, crafts, Bible journaling, etc. but still has some of that same goodness, like this s’mores granola bites recipe, mixed in. I want to share a more personal side of my life with y’all and would love to know more about each of you as well.

S'mores Granola Bites Recipe

If you have followed me on social media for any length of time, you will find that I have 2 incredible dogs that are absolutely my life and children. Bryant is my 8 year old yellow lab and Jayda is my 4 year old ChiPom. Mac is my chocolate lab that is now smiling down at us from above and eating the largest turkey leg you can imagine.

S'mores Granola Bites Recipe

One thing I love being able to do since I do not have children yet is treating my dogs pretty special no matter what the occasion. One way I love to do that is to surprise them with a special new treat when I come home from shopping. And trust me; they know I’ve bought them something. *Be sure to only give them these treats from time to time. You wouldn’t want to spoil their dinner appetite. And my Jayda has to have hers broke into smaller pieces because she is so small.

I recently ordered these new Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Treats in 5 different varieties from Chewy.com. These certainly did not disappoint.

  • Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Deli Cuts
  • Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Meatloaf Morsels
  • Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Pawsta
  • Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Savory Roasters
  • Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Burger Bites

The names and shapes are just absolutely adorable and so creative. Here is what I love about them the most though. There is no corn or wheat, no artificial flavors, and no meat by-products. Dogs everywhere will be craving this meaty deliciousness so make sure you have plenty on hand. I know Bryant and Jayda are absolutely thrilled and begging for more all the time.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

With just a little effort, make some decorative hot cocoa spoons that you can enjoy with any warm cup of hot chocolate. Also perfect for a gift.

I certainly have always loved hot cocoa, but for some reason this year I have been going crazy over it. It seems like every afternoon after working or at night, I find myself in the kitchen sneaking another warm cup with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. How delicious does that sound especially when your cuddled up under a warm blanket in front of the fireplace with the tree glowing beside you?

If that sounds pretty amazing, then why not share that experience with someone else with these decorative hot cocoa spoons? These would make the perfect DIY gift for friends, neighbors, coworkers, stocking stuffers, etc. when you pair them with some cocoa mix. Now they can make the same memories you are with their warm cup of cocoa. Let’s get started now so you can enjoy a cup right away. Plus there is a special little twist of an ingredient that I use to give a surprise flavor when they take a sip.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

Ingredients and Supplies:

You will need spoons obviously so why not use Chinet and their cut crystal cutlery. I love this pack because they look so fancy and the design on the handle takes the whole appearance a notch above. *And no, I’m not being paid to say this. I truly do love their products. It’s that simple.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

My special little twist in flavor are these combination chocolate chips that also have mint flavored chips mixed in. Once you melt them, you can’t see the color difference, but the flavor is huge.

Melt your chocolate chips according to the package directions until it is smooth.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

Dip a spoon in the chocolate until the bottom is completely covered.

Immediately add your toppings or a combination even. You do not want to wait until the chocolate hardens so that your toppings will stick.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

I lay mine on parchment paper to let the chocolate harden. The chocolate and spoons will not stick either and remove very easily.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

I used a couple different assortment of sprinkles, some mini marshmallows, and crushed candy cane pieces.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

Now you just need a big mug full of hot cocoa and you are ready to start dipping and stirring.

Decorative Hot Cocoa Spoons

The mint chocolate chips will also give the cocoa a hint of peppermint flavor that is truly delicious.

What would be your topping of choice? I love the mini marshmallows! Let me know in the comments below. And if you are truly indulgent, then go ahead and add a squirt of whipped cream and sprinkles to the top. Merry Christmas!

Now that the heat is here with Summer warming up, get ready to build a perfect banana split that is sweet to enjoy on any warm day to cool down.

Let’s face it. Summer is all about getting outside, having some fun, and getting dirty. There is just something about running in the grass barefooted and drinking water from the hose pipe.

My favorite memory and part of summer though had to be enjoying an ice cream cone in the hot summer sun. I ended up licking the ice cream as fast as I could to keep it from melting all over my hands. Usually I still was a mess.

Build a Perfect Banana Split

Messes no longer have to be a problem because I have found a paper towel that no other brands can even add up to. I truly mean that. At Publix you will find Viva® Towel and Viva® Vantage® Towels. Go ahead and trust me on this and just pick them up. You won’t regret it.

They are perfect for getting your kitchen and porch ready for summer cookouts and gatherings. The Viva Vantage Towels are perfect for scrubbing hard, stubborn spills including any dried ice cream that is sticky after having today’s banana split. The Viva Towels are great with a more smooth surface for wiping off dishes, countertops and your hands.

Because they are strong, stretchy, and flexible like cloth you can build a perfect banana split and enjoy it knowing that the mess has already been taken care of. Now let’s get the recipe for this sweet summer treat.

Build a Perfect Banana Split

Ingredients:

  • Bananas
  • Neapolitan ice cream
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Strawberry syrup
  • Caramel syrup
  • Rainbow sprinkles

Use a loaf pan to start layering with the bananas on the bottom or sides. I placed one banana on each side or you can cut one banana in half.

Build a Perfect Banana Split

Top it with a scoop of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream.

Build a Perfect Banana Split

Next swirl the chocolate syrup on the chocolate ice cream, the strawberry on the strawberry ice cream, and then the caramel syrup to the vanilla.

Copycat Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino

Let’s be honest with each other for a minute. I have a weakness when it comes to ice cream, milkshakes, or frozen drinks for that matter. I just can’t help myself it seems like. Yes, it is truly a struggle.

So when Starbucks just announced that they are now making Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccinos, I was like, “OMG”! I love anything caramel plus the waffle cone from an ice cream is even better. The down side is that I don’t have a Starbucks close to my house. I know it’s crazy talk, but it’s true.

So what’s a girl to do when she suddenly gets a craving and can’t just run out and get a frap? Make her own of course. And that’s exactly what I did. So please enjoy this new treat! And it is addicting; you have been warned!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I pinky promise. #CarnationSweepstakes #BetterBreakfast #CollectiveBias

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

Yes, we have all heard this over and over again since we were a child. BUT it really is true! Making breakfast a priority is key to having a great and productive day. I must admit though I have not always been the best to do as I tend to preach to others when it comes to breakfast in the past.

That’s why I have come up with a delicious smoothie recipe for breakfast that is easy to make, still nutritious, and perfect for those times when you are still on the go and need something you can take out the door with you.

How does a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie sound? It may be nutritious but give it a delicious name and your kids will be wanting it for sure.

You must be drooling by now over the title of this smoothie and not even realizing it’s nutritious and the perfect breakfast go-to choice.

You can even try blending it together the night before and sticking it in the fridge to make things easier for you in the morning when you are getting ready.

My not-so-secret ingredient is the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder. It is convenient to use, but also nutritious. You can even get the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Ready-to-Drink bottles for those mornings when you are running late.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie is absolutely delicious and the next best thing to eating an actual chocolate covered strawberry.

My husband Mark and I usually are getting ready in the morning and not sitting down to eat because we leave our house so early to go to work. We will take our breakfast with us most days and eat when we get to work.

There are even some days where we will forget to grab something at home and end up going through a drive-thru. It may be delicious but definitely not always the right choice by no means. In order to help me get back on track and erase these bad eating habits, Carnation has a 7-Day Breakfast Challenge that is starting now.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertisers. All opinions are mine alone. I pinky promise! #BakeInTheFun #CollectiveBias

Be sure to stick around for a giveaway perfect for any baker below.

When you think of the holidays, you mine as well mention baking at the same time. You really just can’t do one without the other. Some of my fondest memories of Christmas come from baking with my Mom in the kitchen. We would do just about anything from decorating cookies and making fudge to building gingerbread houses.

Because I love a hot drink with a sweet treat, these peppermint hot cocoa biscotti are the perfect addition to a hot drink such as cocoa or coffee. Plus they are a lot of fun to wrap up nicely to give to your neighbors or friends for the cutest homemade gift.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

To make this biscotti exceptional, I was so thrilled to find these M&M’s® Hot Chocolate flavor at Walmart. They also had Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix and Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Vanilla Flavored Frosting that work perfect for all my baking needs, not just the biscotti.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Be sure to check out this recipe HERE as well for M&M’s® Holiday Snowflake Cookies recipe using Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix. That is definitely what makes baking so much fun that you can create so many different recipes with the same ingredients.

Now that your mouth is watering, let’s get to baking!

Ingredients:

  • Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Milk
  • M&M’s® Hot Chocolate, about half bag crushed in pieces
  • Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Vanilla Flavored Frosting
  • Hot chocolate mix

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Stir in the M&M’s® Hot Chocolate pieces.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Place the dough mixture onto a greased baking sheet forming a small loaf about 1/2 inch thick.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.

Allow to cool and then cut into 1″-1 1/2″ sections.

Turn each piece up on its side and bake for about 7 minutes. Flip on opposite down and bake for an additional 7 minutes. All sides should be golden brown and crunchy.

Once cooled, frost one end of each biscotti and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.

Hot Cocoa Christmas Biscotti

Dip into your hot chocolate for the perfect sweet treat. This would be an awesome treat for a cold night or even Christmas morning.

Whenever I am baking around the holidays, it especially makes me think of those who are less fortunate and how great the need is for those families who go hungry every day. I thought it was pretty neat to find out about The Great American Milk Drive whose passion is to provide a gallon of milk to a family in need. You can make a donation at pourmilklove.com.

Most food banks do not receive milk because it is rarely donated due to being perishable. This means many families are missing out on necessary nutrients. We must be grateful for what we have and reach out to those who don’t during the holidays and all year long.

Now are you ready for that giveaway I promised you earlier? Enter a drawing to win one of eight KitchenAid® mixers by voting for your favorite holiday baking recipe HERE.

Holiday #BakeInTheFun

Good luck! And whether you win or not, be sure to get in that kitchen, throw your apron on, and start baking til your heart is content. Be sure to also wrap up several biscotti for a friend or neighbor using clear treat bags and bakers twine. The red and white twine goes perfectly with the crushed peppermints.

The possibilities are really endless when it comes to baking for Christmas. But in case you are in need of ideas or creativity, you can find more recipes HERE. Let me know in the comments below too what your favorite holiday dessert is. 

The holidays are all about baking. Get the recipe for this hot cocoa biscotti from thesoutherncouture.com to pair with your hot chocolate on a cold winter night.

Time Out Relax EatASNICKERS

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I promise. #EatASNICKERS #CollectiveBias

We all have experienced that afternoon slump where our bellies are full from lunch and we just want to veg out on the couch. I’m sure we have all fell victim to those afternoon naps.

Perhaps you are one of those that becomes “hangry” when you haven’t ate and are exhausted. I know I can be for sure. My Mom always teased me when I was younger because she could tell when I needed to eat.

Time Out Relax EatASNICKERS

I have the perfect solution for you now which is also a great idea to surprise your husband at work. I nice little surprise is never a bad thing to show that you are thinking of him. You may even want to make one for yourself too.

Time Out Relax EatASNICKERS

This mini “care package” is all centered around chocolate. One of my husband’s favorite candy bars is SNICKERS®. While I was shopping at Walmart, I knew just the perfect treat that was sure to please him. He loves the flavor of the roasted peanuts with the caramel. I couldn’t wait to surprise him. Just place one in your husband’s work bag or lunchbox and you are all set.

Time Out Relax EatASNICKERS

I typed a little note that was simple that read, “Time Out. Relax. Eat a SNICKERS®,” and attached it to the candy bar using bakers twine. Then all you need to do is pack it for him.

I also thought of placing it in a gift bag with a new pair of headphones so while he is enjoying his SNICKERS®, he can also relax by listening to his favorite music and taking a break from work.

If you were to give it to a fellow Mom or girlfriend, consider adding an eye mask so they can get a little shut eye for themselves.

Time Out Relax EatASNICKERS

After lunch I know I tend to need a little “pick me up”. In fact I took the SNICKERS® quiz to see who I am when I’m hangry. I am very surprised to see that I am a Princess. I think my husband would disagree when it comes to me getting hungry.

Take the quiz to find out what your personality is too.

Also be sure to check out other fun ways that you can enjoy your SNICKERS® HERE. Let me know in the comments below what you personality is once you take the quiz.
