How good is an Oreo? How good is an Oreo if you pile a lot of other candy on top of it? Super good – and super cute when you make an Oreo into an Easter chick Oreo. Get yourself some Double-Stuffed Oreos (I’ll admit I bought the generic ones – lots cheaper) and stick [...]

***Update*** I have just been told that my bunny buns look nothing like bunnies. Some have even said that my (I thought, adorable) little buns are obscene (gasp!)

Easter’s on the way but the girl and I don’t really like to dress in those white, frilly frocks that everyone else looks so cute in 9we have a really hard time staying clean).

There’s hardly anything cuter than a spring chick and my daughter and I are kind of obsessed with them right now. Grab your sprinkles and join us.

What Do I Do With All This Easter Candy? Cookies!

Ricky Woods — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 11:03:29 +0000

I love Easter candy but with a two-year-old in the house we suddenly have way more Easter candy than any person should attempt to eat. My downfall (those evil Cadbury people) are the Cadbury Mini Eggs. I thought if I crushed them and put them into cookies I might slow down my consumption.

About a week ago, Lynn had something on the website about a chef who was deep frying Cadbury Eggs. We thought, "we can do that!" and, boy, are we glad we did. They were so awesome that you may see us selling them this summer at the Minnesota State Fair - on a stick!
