If you love Earl Grey tea as much as I do, then you'll LOVE today's post! ☕🍪 My daughter and I made these Earl Grey cookies for our tea party last week , but I'm thinking this is going to become a regular treat in our house! These Earl Grey flavored cookies are shaped like a teabag and dipped in melted chocolate (YUM!), so I'm thinking they'd be perfect also for a garden party, baby or bridal shower brunch too.

Thank you Brawny® Tear-A-Square® for sponsoring this post. Think of all the ways you can Put a Square There!

Bonus points if I can actually turn a dessert into a popsicle, like I did with these strawberries and cream popsicles!

But cookie cakes combine the best of the cookie AND cake world in one simple recipe! Hence my current obsession.

Jack-O'-Lantern Halloween Cookie Cake

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream Cocktail
Nothing says Fall better than pumpkins. And pumpkin spice. And pumpkin spice lattes. So naturally, when it comes to my happy-hour this season, I reach for an indulgent cocktail that combines all these Fall flavors in a glass - My homemade Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream!
Summer is coming to an end, but the warmer temps are still here and that is more than enough to have me reaching for a summer cocktails to cool off! Are you the same? Usually, I'm a Mojito kinda gal in summer. But with all the abundant seasonal fruits in the house, I find that a Daiquiri is the answer to a fruity and refreshing beverage, like you probably saw in this post .
Thank you Idaho Spuds for sponsoring this post. VeggieMash mashed potatoes are a blend of 100% Idaho® grown potatoes and real vegetables for a new take on a family favorite! I love party appetizers, don't you? Serve up a delicious platter of nibble-size food or snacks and I'm all over it! 😍 But serving a delicious AND nutritious party appetizer can often be a challenge, I find. Especially if you have adults and kids present at an event or family gathering and have to cater for various palates.
Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!

These easy summer beach cupcakes not only look super adorable, but they taste like summer in your mouth with their delicious pina colada inspired frosting. Sooo good, you guys! Whether you're baking your own cupcakes or simply decorating store-bought ones (I'd totally choose this option in summer to avoid putting the oven on!), these cupcakes are a cinch to make. And eat! 😉
