Green Snack Board

A green snack board 💚💚💚 no food coloring necessary. My kids are “starving” at any given point in the day, and snack boards are my favorite way to provide them with various snack options. I always throw in healthy food, and they seem to enjoy it more when it’s displayed in a really fun way.

The key to a pretty board is placement. I always add a variety of flavors and textures. To make this St. Patrick’s friendly, I obviously, went with a green theme. The monochromatic board turned out to be really pretty. Remember, snack board are not just of kids. If you are getting a group together for the holiday, this is a crowd-pleaser, no matter the age group!

Homemade Shamrock Shake

I wanted to create a shake that had those classic flavors but without food coloring. If you like shamrock shakes, then you NEED to try this homemade version. I added fresh mint for flavor and a little spinach for color… and it’s perfection!!!

DIY Santa's Village made with Wallpaper

Wallpaper has come such a long way in recent years and crafters rejoice because it has just become one of my favorite go-to DIY products. You can cover all sorts of things with peel and stick wallpaper such as a lampshade, cabinet back, shelves, drawers, headboard, desktop, accent wall, backsplash and more — the possibilities are truly endless. The best part is, they aren’t permanent, which gave me this super fun idea to create something seasonal, whimsical and totally temporary using a peel and stick wallpaper in a variety of colors and textures. Let your imagination run wild with this one!

Chocolate Budino (Italian Chocolate Pudding)

Chocolate budino will blow any pudding recipe out of the water!! Budino is similar to pudding, but it’s made with lots and eggs and no cornstarch. I’m not too fond of recipes with corn starch at the thickener because it tends to be super thick and have a chalky aftertaste, even when cooked properly. Well, my friends, the Italians know what they are doing. Budino is Italian’s version of pudding, and it is rich, thick, and packed with flavor.
