Do you have a movie that you watch no matter how often or when it's on? For us, that movie is Mrs. Doubtfire. You'd think we'd never seen it before because we watch it constantly. Whenever it's on TV, it's on our TV. Whenever it's coming up next, we always eagerly anticipate it beginning. We are Mrs. Doubtfire freaks. I mean, there are worse movies *cough*minions*cough* but

The Best Banana Pudding
I cannot even emphasize how good this banana pudding is. For real. It's amazing. It comes from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook where, if you've been to NYC, Magnolia Bakery lives... and where I will be eating nightly when I move to NYC. I don't have much to say about this pudding because it's that incredible. It speaks for itself. It stands up for what's right in the world. It's a

No-Bake S’mores Lush Dessert
My name's Hayley, and I'm addicted to subscription services. First it started with magazines. I'd ask (and still ask) for subscriptions for Christmas and my birthday. Magazines are one thing I couldn't live without - I love getting them in the mail, eagerly anticipating reading every article and checking out every advertisement. I even save some of my magazines - my beloved

Strawberry Pretzel Salad Parfaits
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the local town of Davis, CA on behalf of Best Food Facts. I'm their newest blogger for their Taste Program, where they educate about the benefits of fresh food and answer nutritional questions by a panel of experts. It's a wonderful organization to work with and an excellent tool for those of you who may have questions about

The Best Frozen Hot Chocolate
The temperature is so hot in California right now, that my new idea of a good time is curling up in my shortest shorts under the nearest AC vent while reading a magazine. Doesn't that just sound divine? Forget poolside. Poolside still means you're outside, of which I want absolutely nothing to do with. It's over one-hundred degrees out there - staring at a glistening pool is

You guys!I'm finally expanding my blog to include some drinky dranks. I figured that my blog was severely lacking in the sweet beverage department and I needed to remedy that STAT.

No Bake Patriotic Marshmallow Cheesecakes
This time of year is kind of hard for a food blogger. Why? Because it’s hot outside, and inevitably, the hotter the day is, the more I want to turn on my oven and bake something. I always seem to get those strong hankerings to bake whenever it’s the warmest day. I can’t explain why, but it’s always a tug-of-war in my head to decide whether or not turning on the oven is worth

No-Bake Texas Sheetcake Bites
These Texas Sheetcake Bites are seriously AMAZING! No-bake bites with a sinfully delicious Texas sheetcake-style frosting on top! The idea for these No-Bake Texas Sheetcake Bites came to me when I was craving sheetcake frosting but didn't want to turn the oven on since it's been 100 degrees here lately. I was trying to think of a vessel I could slather that heavenly, sugary

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Frosted Lemonade
Now this is the ultimate Friday treat. I'm alllll about finding ways to indulge. This is probably the number one reason why none of my diets work. I find reasons to indulge for everything. It's Monday, let me eat the fries. I surpassed X amount of page views, so I'll have an ice cream sundae. I survived today; bring on the chips. This is also probably the number one reason why
