Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
Today we continue our Christmas Treats series with a fun little snack from Bonnie at The Pin Junkie. This one is a mix of salty and sweet and if you’ve never tried it, you really should!
Hi! I’m Bonnie, The Pin Junkie and I write about the recipes, crafts, and home improvement projects I do that are inspired by Pinterest. [Read more…]
I was very excited when the PEEPS® company contacted me about being a part of their 24 Days of PEEPsonality! Starting December 1, they will be featuring recipes from 24 bloggers on their Facebook page.
I received samples of PEEPS® holiday products, including Marshmallow Trees and Peppermint flavored Marshmallow Stars. The peppermint flavor inspired me to create a Frozen Peppermint Pie (decorated with the PEEPS® Peppermint flavored Marshmallow Stars, of course).
This recipe is very easy to make and very fun to decorate! It will definitely be a big hit this holiday season with peppermint lovers everybody! [Read more…]
Last year I hosted a Six Weeks of Christmas Treats event with some guest posts from our friends, and I kicked off the event with a little round-up of Christmas recipes and linky party so you can share your own recipes with us. The post turned out great, and I had 60+ recipes linked up, so I decided to kick off this year’s event with another round up and linky party.
For last year’s post, I shared cookie recipes, decorated cookies, bars, and candy (4 of each). For this year’s round up, I decided to do something a little different. I looked for Christmas treats with a fun twist or cute presentation suitable for Christmas parties. Check them out below, and then feel free to link up your own Christmas treats.
The linky is open to any Christmas treat recipes: cookies, bars, cakes, pies, drinks, appetizers, etc. Pretty much anything goes!
Marshmallow Coffee Cups from The Party Wagon
Lil Meringue Mice from BHG
Twas The Night Before Christmas Treat from Catch my Party
Cupcake Wreath from Yummy Food Drink
Snowmen Cupcakes from Devian Art
Peppermint Lollipops from Munchkin Munchies

Got a holiday treat recipe to share? I’d love for you to link it up below. You can link up cookies, candies, appetizers, drinks, & more! This linky will be open throughout the holiday season.
It’s been a while since I did a post featuring printables. Since we’re kicking off the holiday season this week, I thought it would be the perfect time to do that. I started out looking for recipe cards and coordinating tags suitable for gift giving or cookie exchanges, and then I also have found some fun invitations, gift tags, and full party packs for you. Hope you enjoy! [Read more…]

Caramel is one of my favorite ingredients, and it’s such a great flavor for fall. Today I’m sharing a super easy caramel cheesecake that I made recently. It’s not homemade, but it’s a really great option if you’re in a hurry and need something to carry to a holiday party at or just want a last minute snack. Hope you enjoy! [Read more…]

It’s time for one more last minute holiday treat! I’m sure you’ve seen or heard of Puppy Chow. Well, today I’ve got some Cheesecake Puppy Chow for you! It only takes 4 ingredients, and you can make it up in minutes, so it’s perfect for a little Christmas Eve snacking or for that New Year’s party that is just around the corner!
POST UPDATE – If you came by to link up for Friday Favorites and didn’t see the linky, I apologize. I scheduled the post, and assumed it went off without a hitch. For some reason, the code I pasted in seemed to have disappeared. When I checked the post, there was only an opening and closing tag for the linky. Weird!! Anyway—should anyone come by and still like to link up, it should be here now! haha!
Hi Ladies! Welcome to Friday Favorites! Can you believe it’s only a few days till Christmas? Yay!
