Happy Happy Wednesday everybody!!! Let’s get right into this recipe you guys, I’m way essited excited to share this one, but first I have to admit popcorn is a huge guilty pleasure for me. I’m sure some of y’all are thinking ‘Gee Holly, that’s odd since popcorn isn’t even close to the unhealthiest things you’ve put on your blog‘ well, for a good reason, I have been allergic to corn since I was born.
Oh yes, before it was cool to be anti corn syrup, I had to be, and y’all know what? they put that stuff in everything, and not just in syrup form, but for reals, corn goes into everything. I mean, thank goodness that they have started to cut down on it because dang, never getting to eat anything (fun) that my friends & family were was such a bummer as a kid. Anyways, that was a bit of a tangent sorry, but thank goodness these days I’m not neeearrly as allergic as I used to be, which means I can eat it occasionally which makes it an extra treat.
If you’ve been hanging around my blog for a little while now, you might be a bit familiar with a few of my favs (aren’t they all though? haha) caramel, cinnamon, pumpkin etc., so obviously this recipe is near and dear to my mouth my heart. Y’all, when this popcorn came out of the oven and it was still a bit soft and gooey, it tasted just like cinnamon toast with an extra oomph of caramel, yes, it burned my mouth, and yes it was worth it. This is honestly like crack, just go make it, your day will be better for it 🙂 I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far and thank you so much for stopping by!

- Remove from the oven, let cool, break into pieces and enjoy!
- I used the Pop-Secret homestyle because it's very lightly salted and buttered, feel free to use whatever popcorn you prefer.
- You can totally use more or less cinnamon on top of your popcorn according to your preference.
First off, you really can’t beat desserts made in the crockpot, honestly if the thought of baking cakes/cupcakes/bread pudding in the oven is intimidating, I highly recommend getting a start with a crockpot. 
Second, this is pumpkin (obvi) and me and pumpkin are BFF’s and last but not least this is bread pudding and again bread pudding is always a good idea, like always. Also, the amazingly decadent sauce I poured all over this stuff is totally optional but I really really recommend you make it because it totally puts this bread pudding over the edge. 
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make, and it baked up so easily and perfectly, let me tell you how incredible your kitchen is going to be smelling while this is baking up, yum!!! I hope you had a great weekend, have a wonderful start to your week and thank you so much for stopping by!!!

now, for the sauce…

I am aware that the Halloween Oreos don’t taste any different than normal ones, but come on, they’re soo wonderfully Halloween with the orange filling and the cute little prints on the back, anyways, sorry, I get so excited about themed food hehe. Sooo, back to this awesome cocktail treat. This is another one that came together solely because I started throwing things together in a blender. 
This shake turned out to be so delicious y’all, with all of the ice cream, Oreos and then the added bonus of the Godiva white chocolate liqueur, mmmmm. BTW, in case you were wondering it’s still really really hot here with no end in sight for summer, sooo I figure something deliciously cold and Halloween themed is perfect!!! Have a wonderful day, a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by! 
and enjoy!!! 
I’m normally a very happy and positive person, but there are just some people who come along and put a quick stop to that, and folks, that has been happening since Monday. Literally visions of getting in my car, driving far far away and changing my name have genuinely crossed my mind at least 10 times, yes a little melodramatic but whatevs. 
I guess all I can do is keep on praying for my continued sanity haha. Soo anyways, back to what you’re really here for..food, and lots of it. I don’t know about y’all, but soft pretzels in my mind are one of the most delectable savory treats in the world (a very grand statement, but I’m sticking to it). 
I mean, come on, soft, buttery, chewy dough covered in sea salt? mmmmmm…Something so simple yet so awesome, and today I show you an easy way to enjoy them at home, and hello with an easy cheese dip! I really hope each and every one of you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by !!!

I will also admit here today that I have been known to on many a cheat day, go through the drive-in at Sonic (yes I said drive-in, haha). I go to Sonic for one thing and one thing only, their cheese tots, nom, nom, and honestly I feel like such a hillbilly to even admit that, but oh well there it is for all to judge, haha. 
Let’s be real though, sometimes I think some of us (definitely not me of course) just want to lounge around in yoga pants, glasses and our hair on top of our heads in a bun on the weekend and do nothing except enjoy food and fun, amaright? Well, luckily if you’re feeling a bit 
These little guys baking up smelled absolutely delectable y’all, and no joke it was thrown together so quickly, the oven wasn’t even done pre-heating yet. These tots would make for a wonderful side dish or main dish, way too good to miss you guys 🙂 Have an awesome day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
all mixed together…
frozen tots in…
all mixed in and into your skillet…
bake, bake, bake and enjoy…
My stockpile of alcohol is totally due to this little blog and always wanting to share new cocktail recipes that need whatever ingredients in it. What I’m saying is, is that I have 
I had some left over hot chocolate packs from my 
milk & heavy cream into your saucepan…
once warm, put in your hot chocolate packets…
all stirred in…
pour into your cup, add the vodka and enjoy!!! 
Fortunately, I have stumbled across several pumpkin pie ice cream recipes recently, which hello! is perfect. It’s too hot still to enjoy all of the baked delicious pumpkin goodies (not that that will stop me or anything) but I’m soo ready for all things Fall to be in 
To be honest, I was mildly skeptical at how this would turn out, for one, because of the scarcity of ingredients and second, the ease at which they go together, but I wasn’t at all prepared at how amazing this would turn out. 
This ice cream tastes just like frozen pumpkin pie, it’s incredible! Bonus, you don’t have to use any sort of ice cream machine either! Y’all totally need to make some of this ASAP, it’s all things Fall flavored minus the hassle. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by my little space here on the Internet. 
whip, whip, whip…(yes that is my dog, she’s a whipped cream addict)
slowly pour in your sweetened condensed milk…
now fold in your pumpkin puree…
now time for vanilla & the spices…
mix, mix, mixed…
freeze for a bit and enjoy!!!
I’ve had this Dutch Baby recipe hanging out in my to do list for forever. As soon as I took one bite of this, I asked myself why in the world I didn’t make it sooner. First, let’s start with how dang easy this is to make, I mean seriously, ingredients into the blender, then into your skillet and that’s it. 
Second, this bakes up very quickly and bonus, looks super cool doing it and last but certainly not least this is absolutely delicious! Just imagine a mix of a doughnut, a pancake and french toast all in one dessert and you have the Dutch Baby. I sprinkled this guy with powdered sugar and some fresh fruit and berries and holy cow it’s amazing. 
My favorite part about this is that some parts of it are just slightly crunchy but still soft and the other part is super gooey and wonderful. I would like to mention as a side note, that when you take your skillet out of the oven, be very careful about pouring your butter in, it sputtered hot butter everywhere haha, so just be careful. If you’re looking for the perfect brunch day treat, please just make this, it’s too awesome not to. Have a wonderful day, and thank you so much stopping by!!! 
all ingredients except the butter into your blender…
mix, mix, mix…
butter into hot pan (watch out haha)…
then batter into your skillet…
bake, bake, bake…
and enjoy!!!
yummmm…
Speaking of favorites, this time of year (ignoring the fact it’s still hot as blue blazes outside) has the best baked items, because I will swoon over just about anything with cinnamon, pumpkin or apples in it, mmmm. So let’s get to today’s recipe, this incredible Pumpkin Maple Butter. Fall is epitomized in this beyond easy to make ‘butter’. 
I think calling this a spread would be better suited, but butter just sounds better am I right? The fact that I threw all the ingredients into my saucepan, cooked it up for a bit and voila delicious butter is so awesome. 
Y’all I ate about a pound of this stuff, I mean obviously I put it on cinnamon swirl toast first, I’m not a savage, but hot dang this stuff is sooo good. Make this ASAP, I’m not suggesting I’m telling haha. I hope you’re having a wonderful day, have a wonderfully long & safe weekend and thank you so much for stopping by! 
cook and stir for a while and dunzo!!!
enjoy!!!
Speaking of, I genuinely can’t believe it’s almost September, for reals y’all, how did that happen? Didn’t we just start 2016? Sheesh, time is continually going by faster and faster but if we can get to Fall & the wonderful Fall temperatures faster then I’m soo okay with that haha. Anyways, I am way excited to share these cookies with you guys today, because they were totally a happy accident. 
The other day I was eating my typical oatmeal with peanut butter with breakfast but I was feeling extra hungry so I decided to throw in half a banana because yum haha. Y’all that oatmeal was soo good, I had to make myself not make another bowl, but it did get me thinking about what an incredible dessert it would make. I figured cookies would be the best bet and dang y’all these are so delicious. They taste like banana bread with a hint of peanut butter, so yummy you guys. I hope you’re having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
