If I had to put a number on it, I would say about 90% of the time the first words my kids say to me after school are, Hi Mom! What are we having for snack? I have gotten pretty good at keeping after school snacks stocked and ready. One thing you can bet on finding in my refrigerator is chocolate milk.

Tropical Trail Mix Recipe + Sunsweet #FindYourParadise Sweepstakes
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunsweet Growers. All opinions are 100% mine. I am an avid snacker. Snacks give me the pick-me-up energy zap I need to get through my day. Some of the best snacks are ones that are easy for me to grab a handful and go. Dried fruits are guilt-free snacks that can satisfy my craving for something sweet. One of my favorite ways to eat dried fruit is in a trail mix. I love to make my own ...
Easter Bunny Rolls
Easter Bunny Rolls are such a cute tradition! My kids remember these bunny shaped rolls and ask me to make them every year. This year, I'm taking the easy route and using frozen dinner rolls for the dough. Of course a homemade from-scratch roll dough works, too. The directions for how to make bunny-shaped Easter bread rolls will be the same for any dough. I started with frozen bread roll dough - the kind that comes in a bag, with the dough ...

A big pot of melted chocolate served with a variety of dippers (fruits, berries, cubed cake) is a winter tradition ...

Red Velvet Puppy Chow Recipe (Muddy Buddies)
I blame my sister for introducing us to the deliciousness called Puppy Chow (or Chex Muddy Buddies, depending on where you live.) There are so many different versions from this Sugar Cookie puppy chow recipe to this Pink and Blue Muddy Buddies recipe for baby showers. Since the stores are already selling Valentine's Day M&Ms, I decided to use them in Red Velvet Puppy Chow. The red, pink and white chocolate candies make it a cute ...
Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
I love Southern comfort foods like homemade macaroni and cheese. A cousin from Alabama passed along this Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe to everyone in our family. We just couldn't get enough of it over the holidays. My kids love to eat this easy mac and cheese recipe. It's so much tastier than any boxed version could ever hope to be.
