Salted Caramel Potato Chip Donuts

Summer is winding down but my mixer is still going full speed. With school starting in less than a week I am preparing for a baking drought as reality sets back in. That’s probably why I have been whipping up so many sweet goodies lately. I can already feel the beginning symptoms of baking withdrawal kicking in! While I know I’ll still find time to get creative in the kitchen, it’s kind of sad letting go of the freedom to be spontaneous with a spatula. These Salted Caramel Potato Chip Donuts are sure to make the transition a little easier. If you’ve never had potato chips crushed and sprinkled on your favorite dessert then you’re just not livin’. It’s hard to resist the sweet, salty, crunchy goodness they bring to an everyday batch of chocolate donuts.

Pretty Darn Quick + Delicious At PDQ

  This post has been sponsored by PDQ. All opinions are my own.

During the summer we spend a lot of time on the go, exploring our city and keeping busy before the school year starts. Traveling back and forth from one place to another usually means we have to grab a quick bite for lunch or even dinner. It’s times like these in which the concept of “fast food” become a necessity. Lucky for us a new restaurant called PDQ just opened in our area and their service is pretty darn quick! Not only do they specialize in fast-food staples like sandwiches and salads, they also have the most incredible tenders in town. Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of the crispy strips since they’ve been open.

Birthday Cake Truffles

Birthday Cake Truffle Recipe using Oreos and cream cheese

Even though my birthday is a mere three months away I’ve been having pre-mature cravings for all things cake batter flavored. It’s kind of strange because I have always been more an ice cream cake fan and not so much the fluffy frosting coated slab of sweetness. These Birthday Cake Truffles have swayed me in a different direction and if you have a craving for cake batter, birthday cake, or colored candy sprinkles then I’m sure you’ll love them too. As if these little balls of delight could possibly get any better, they’re no-bake and made with one of the popular sandwich cookies- OREOS!

I participated in a Blog Blast on behalf of Influence Central for Johnson & Johnson and Target. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.


By now most of us have at least attempted to tackle our back to school shopping list. Usually this lengthy checklist includes everything from uniforms to classroom supplies. This year I put on my good pair of sneakers, checked my list twice, and skimmed through the Target Cartwheel App before heading out for a day of shopping. This mobile savings app comes in handy this time of year because who doesn’t like to stretch their dollar? I sure do!

Peanut Butter Mousse Brownie Cups

It’s hard to deny that peanut butter and chocolate make one heavenly combination. I’ve found that some of my favorite desserts are made with both of these ingredients, including these Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes I shared last year. Through my passion for baking I have come to learn that peanut butter isn’t just for sandwiches. That’s right jelly, I’m talking to you. Move on over because there’s a new dynamic duo in town. Today we appreciate the ooey gooey glory that is known as peanut butter and it’s true partner in crime, chocolate! These Peanut Butter Mousse Brownie Cups will confirm that these two make the perfect pair.

Shaun The Sheep Glass Marble Ornament

As you may have noticed, we are patiently waiting in excitement for the release of the Shaun The Sheep Movie next week! The movie theater has been our sanctuary this summer when the weather is icky and the sunshine is hiding behind the clouds. Sometimes popcorn and a few good laughs are all you need to cure the rainy day blues. As Shaun goes on his epic adventure from the farm to a big city we get to see all of the silly shenanigans that follow him and his flock. If the movie is anything like than trailer than I am expecting quite a few hilarious scenes.
