You guys - this recipe is the bomb! This recipe came to me after I realized I'm severely lacking in the monkey bread department. I have a couple standbys [chocolate chip cookie dough and cake batter!], but otherwise, I needed to up my game a ton... and this is the perfect way to do it! Enter: these Magic Marshmallow Monkey Bread Muffins! Here's the deal behind these bad boys.

Every year around this time, I start to realize bikini season is creeping up on me... and every year around this time, I vow to eat better, exercise more, and transform myself into a Victoria's Secret model. And for awhile, it works. I'll throw spinach in my smoothies. I'll walk an extra mile a day. I'll send Victoria's Secret my bikini modeling pictures and they'll call me and

Mint Oreo Overload Cake
Soft serve has been a part of my world for my entire life. Growing up, I'd beg my grandma to relinquish me into the wild and walk up to the nearest Yogurt Delite store with my friends. It sat there loyally in the same shopping center for years, with its black and white checkered floors, completely abandoned lobby, and one strange woman who worked there. For awhile I didn't

Biscoff S’mores Seven Layer Bars
As you're reading this, I am partying my face off in Orlando, FL for the Food Blog Forum conference. We're at Disney World, and I'm pretty positive I will convince the cast members to let me move into Cinderella's castle. ...or being kicked out of Disney World for pouting at their obvious 'no, you may not live in Cinderella's castle' answer. Whatever. With that being said, I'm

Lucky Rainbow Bark
Yeah, I am totally guilty of trashing the living daylights outta that white chocolate. Sue me. As a kid, I had this neighbor - we'll call her Meow, since I remember her meowing on occasion, and I slept over at her house pretty frequently. She had anything a girl could ask for - her own pony, a really fluffy dog, a HUGE Barbie mansion, and the works. I remember being infinitely

Samoas Magic Bar Pie
When I was in Girl Scouts, our troop leader totally didn't do anything cool. Other troops were raising money to go to Disneyland, or sleepovers at the zoo, or other cool things. We went camping. Once. It was lame because two girls kicked me out of their tent. We went to a safety school. We learned not to walk in front of cars. All it made me do was want to walk in front of a

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Oreos
Do you guys remember when Cookie Dough Oreos came out last year?!
It may or may not have been the best day of my life... but this isn't about me.
Seriously though, I loved them. Some people disliked the filling and said it was too coffee-y, but I thought the filling was just fine - and this is coming from a non-chocolate kinda girl. (#TeamVanilla!) Howeevvvver, I'm not

Neapolitan Seven Layer Bars
What happens when you forget to post a Valentine's Day-themed recipe before Valentine's Day? You post it days later, obvi! I try to stick to schedules since I tend to be a planner and a huge list-maker. But stuff happens, I forget, I don't care, or Intervention is on and I just neglect it. I'm sorry. I'm the worst blogger ever. BUT, the good thing is is that Neapolitan's a

The Best Banana Cake with Banana Frosting
I have always loved grocery shopping. Mostly because our local supermarket gave kids free cookies in the bakery if you asked politely. They were sprinkle sugar cookies, and they were amazing because they were free, smothered in sprinkles, and because you didn't need your parents permission to eat a giant sugar cookie before dinner. (However, in later years I would try this as a

XXL Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chunk Cookies
When I was younger, I really wanted to open a bakery. I thought selling cupcakes, cookies, super fudgy brownies and cakes would be so fun. Whipping up fresh buttercream, adorning each cake with cute sprinkles, packaging up fresh-baked cookies... it all sounded so blissful... until I realized how HARD owning a business is. First of all, hiring employees. I was always a stellar
