Homemade Yellow Cupcakes

I must start out by being honest here; I've never really been a big cupcake person...

gasp! 

I know.

The only time I will really make them or even eat them is for a birthday party or event, but other than that I don't really think twice about them.

A few weeks ago however, my two boys were begging to bake cupcakes.

I honestly have no idea where it came from, but we were going to have family night and that's what they wanted for the dessert that evening.

I hardly ever have a box of cake mix on hand, which is what I would normally use to just make them and get it over with, so we turned to Pinterest and found a recipe to try.

We’ve made some tweaks to the original, and they turn out pretty dang delicious every time! 

Since we had a success, and we usually have all of the ingredients on hand, these have been added to our 'we will make again!' category.

No-bake Chocolate Cookies

These are one of my husband's favorite cookies.

I had actually never had these cookies until one day my son and I were baking and my husband requested some.

I searched Pinterest and found a recipe.

These are so easy to make!

I have made these no-bake cookies for baby blessings, family get-togethers, and holidays.

I love that I can make them in advance and they stay delicious!

Since these cookies are also gluten-free, it's nice to have them for those who won't be able to eat other desserts.

Grapefruit and Blood Orange Popsicles

With the warm weather approaching I have the perfect healthy treat to help your family cool down!

Popsicles are a staple at our house during the summer months.

It's one of my favorite things. 

Sitting on the porch with my son, talking, and cooling down with some popsicles make for some good memories.

Make it some homemade popsicles and it can't get any better. I love these because I know exactly what's in them :)

A big shout-out goes to my husband who introduced me to this delicious concoction :)
