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.

Strawberry Tart with Wish Farms Pineberries

This strawberry tart is the prettiest summer dessert! It may look extremely impressive and intricate, but it is surprisingly easy. It’s the Wish Farms Pineberries that really make this dessert special. The lovely pink color adds a soft, almost vintage, look to the tart. The Pink-A-Boo® #pineberries got their name as a nod to the traces of pineapple flavor that, combined with tropical notes of strawberry, pear and apricot, give them their unique taste.

DIY Chocolate Leprechaun Hats

Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies

Basically, I was just looking for any reason to use sprinkles in my cookies!

This was an experiment that I thought would be fun to try with my son. He has been asking to make cookies every day! With St. Patrick’s Day on it’s way, I have been brainstorming fun ideas for things to bake up to celebrate. Sprinkles are always an easy way to add a festive touch, so I wanted to see if they would work IN the cookies. Well, it worked!! I can’t promise that these work with any sprinkles, but I used Fancy Spinkles for this. Their St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles are so adorable. Use the code FROMSCRATCHWITHMARIA15 for 15% off your order.

This is a fun one to get your kids involved with. You can see all of my tips for making chocolate chip cookies here! However, sometimes when I am baking with my kids, I let them take the reins and if the cookies end up a bit more dense, well, then they do. These are all about getting in the kitchen, teaching them to measure, stir, and simply be patient!

Beauty Bites With Ancient Nutrition

Ancient Nutrition offers a variety of ways to take collagen so you can customize it to your lifestyle. I usually take the collagen in pill form when I am in a rush. I use the powdered form in my green juice or coffee. However, I thought it would be fun to add these into the little power bites I make for my husband as a quick bite of energy when we have busy days. I changed the name to Beauty Bites! These are packed with nutrients, collagen, good fats, and tons of flavor! I like to make up a batch at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge. It’s a quick bite that you can feel good about.
