Rainbow Snack Board

Snack boards are the solution to just about every problem! My kids come home “starving” every day, and they always get really excited when I pull out something fun like this rainbow snack board 🌈🌈🌈

I know snack boards can look like a lot of work, but the truth is, I just cut up some fruit and veggies, and lined them up in rainbow colors, literally, that’s it! I love this idea for St. Patrick’s Day! Quick, easy, and no more complaining! Mix it up and use whatever veggies and fruit you and your family like!

Lemony Herbed Pea Pesto Crostini

This pea pesto recipe is great to have in your back pocket because it can be made very quickly and with very few ingredients. I like to keep peas in my freezer for a number of different dishes, and also because they are inexpensive. They naturally have a pop of sweetness, so I like to add lemon for an acidic touch, garlic for a savory bite, and herbs for a fresh finish. Mix all of that together with salty parmesan cheese, and you are good to go. I like adding red pepper flakes for some heat as well, but it is definitely optional! Great for appetizers, a side dish, or the base for a dinner.

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.

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.
