It’s no secret that I am one of Biscoff’s biggest fans.  I keep the stuff stocked in our pantry at ALL times.  Luckily my local grocery store started carrying it so I don’t have to order it on Amazon anymore, phew!

This is a fun, completely simple recipe that is perfect to get the kids in the kitchen to help.  Minimal ingredients, minimal steps…….incredible outcome   My boys went nuts for this one and couldn’t believe I would only make 8 rolls.  How rude of me, lol!

The marshmallow makes for a sweet chewy center and the Biscoff……out of this world.  This is a no brainer, whip up in 5 minute recipe, that happens to taste like a million bucks.  Have fun!

Can you handle the massive amount of ingredients you’ll need?  Not sure I can   PS:  please imagine there is butter, cinnamon and sugar in the photograph as well

Gotta love those crescents.  This is the Trader Joe’s brand, but Pillsbury you can find at any grocery store.

Unroll and separate into triangles.

Oh mama mia.  I will throw a fit if Biscoff ever goes out of business.

Simple….place your tablespoon of Biscoff over wide end of triangle and top with marshmallows.

Like so.

Hubby came home from lunch and helped me roll these babies up.   Start at wide end and roll to the small end.

Cute right?

It’s about to get better.  Break out the butter please.

That’s right, butter those babies up.

Stir your cinnamon and sugar then…..

Sprinkle like crazy.

They’ll look a little like this before they get baked.

Here’s what you get when they come out of the oven.  Do not fear those marshmallows that ooze.  That is exactly what you want to happen.  Quickly take a plastic knife and press the oozed marshmallows back around the crescent.  It makes a perfect chewy caramel like consistency.  It’s fabulous!

Here they are after they’ve cooled for about 10 minutes.  Still a bit warm and perfectly delicious.

How fun is red velvet cake?!  It really is so stunning.  This jazzed up cake mix sheet cake is so simple to prepare you will have it on your table in no time at all.  Did I mention that I iced it with a Nutella Fudge like icing?  Let’s just say you are in for a treat today!

I am loving my new red cake stand that I found from my friend Lindsey from high school.  She makes them herself and they are adorable.  Check out her blog Sweet Stax to pick some up for yourself!

Here’s your line-up folks.  Nice and easy.

I love this recipe for so many reasons, but one is that you just dump it into the mixer.  No particular order.

I add a small box of vanilla pudding mix.

Add it right to the mixer.

….milk, sour cream and some oil.

4 fabulous eggs.

Ready to mix!

How pretty is this?!

Pour your batter onto your prepared baking sheet.  Please spray with cooking spray before

Give her a nice even spread.

Like so

Baked!  Now hurry, time to make the icing!

Your icing consists of Nutella and sweetened condensed milk.  I doubled what you see here.

Warm in the microwave and give a good mix.

Time to drizzle over your warm cake.

Ahhhh!

Now dig in!

I have been having so much fun following McCormick’s Flavor Forecast.  This week I chose their “Simplicity Shines” trend.  I was immediately drawn to their simple Toffee Sauce and knew I had to make it at once.

I LOVE adding salt to caramel sauces so I decided to sprinkle some on and it was PERFECT

This sauce is great warm on ice cream, pancakes, waffles and so much more.  Give it a try, it’s a simple no fuss recipe.

You know every night those nights when you just do NOT feel like making dinner and you are tempted to get out the cold cereal and frozen waffles?

Well, this dinner takes a whole 5 minutes of prep and is done in 30 minutes total.  I didn’t even use a separate bowl to mix the ingredients, just threw everything into the casserole, stirred and stuck in the oven.  My family ate this, loved it and even finished the leftovers. Think green chili chicken enchiladas, but waaaaay simpler.  No fuss at all.

This was an actual night I didn’t feel like making dinner, hence the minimal photos but I picked myself up and snapped a few photos for ya.  Enjoy friends!  xoxo

Please do not ask me where this idea came from, I have no explanation for my crazy ideas.  I had no idea how a warm cookie wrapped in rice krispie treat would turn out, but after one bite I knew I had a winner!  Not only is this totally adorable and will have everyone talking, it is no kidding….so delicious.

I created the recipe for one giant serving which actually serves 8 small servings.  The beauty is, you can use whatever size cookies you would like.  Just form your rice krispie rounds according to the size of your cookies.  See my note at the bottom of the recipe.  You can stuff about anything inside these fun cookies.  I also tried brownies, but will be trying Nutella, Peanut Butter, Biscoff and a whole bunch of other fun things

Hope you enjoy!

I whipped up a small batch of rice krispie treats.  My biggest tip for you is work fast.   Have everything measured out before you start.  This will make all the difference in the world

I created another giant chocolate chip cookie recipe for you.  It’s all prepared in one bowl.  And might I add it is incredible by itself, so take note   Let this baby cool for 10 minutes before preparing the rice krispie portion.

Melt those beautiful marshmallows until perfectly puffed.

Here’s where you need to work quick.  Stir the cereal and marshmallows then take half and form into a nice round as you see below.

You will press your rice krispie a little wider than the size of cookie you are using.  I am using a large cookie, so I made an even wider circle.  Get it?  Ok, good

Ahhhhh, crazy right?!

I love these crazy cookies.

Place the second half of krispie treat mixture on top and….

…spray your hands with cooking spray then quickly press and seal edges around cookie.

You’ll find the cooking spray on your hands is a necessity

Here you have my Inside Out Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookie.  Love!

I tried the same technique with some brownie bites too.  Equally as fun and delish!

See?  Can’t wait to try other things

I cut the rest of my giant cookie into 8 wedges so I could share.  How fab is this?!

Yes, you are right, this is not a typical Picky Palate recipe   Over the last 6 months or so, my husband and I have been doing a lot of blending (with our Blendtec)  and juicing.  I love drinking these in the morning for breakfast, it’s amazing how great you feel.  We have a fun juice shop down the street from us called Nekter Juice Bar that we visit often.  One of my favorite juices to order from them is their Toxin Flush which has all of the same ingredients as you will see below.

I do not know their exact recipe, but you know I was determined to re-create my favorite drink in the comfort of my own home so I could have it anytime I wanted.

It ends up I like my version even more.  Score!

Please know, we have a very basic juicer, it is nothing fancy.  I think it’s the Jack LaLanne basic model.  Let’s take a look at my favorite morning juice

The ingredients for my Power Juice are apples, spinach, parsley, lemon and fresh ginger.  Love!

If you’ve never juiced before, it’s quite fun.  It’s a little bit of a production with set up/clean up, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not so bad

Keep adding your ingredients to the juicer and watch the juice flow

Don’t worry, the drink does not taste like parsley or spinach.  It just adds a perfect freshness not to mention it’s health benefits.

My little guy loves helping smash the fruits and veggies.

Almost done!

Superbowl weekend is right around the corner and you know what that means…..finger food and party food!  There is something about food that you can pick up with your fingers that makes it all the more fun to eat right?   I have got a fun recipe that I like to call Pepperoni Pizza-wiches.  They are quick to prepare and no fuss to eat which makes them a winning recipe in our house.

Here is your very simple line up of ingredients… Town House Crackers, pizza sauce, pepperoni slices and mozzerella cheese.

Here you have your pepperoni and cheese.  You will quarter the pepperoni’s that go into the filling.

Here is your pizza sauce and cream cheese.  You’ll mix all of these ingredients and they will quickly become the filling to your little sandwich.

Have your kitchen helpers mix everything together!

Take a nice stack of Crackers and fill 2 of them with that delicious creamy pizza filling.

Top with a pepperoni slice and you’ve got a mouthwatering bite size snack great for any Superbowl Party!
