Rolo Pretzel

January 31, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 4 Comments

I was making some of my favorite Rolo Cookies and spotted this recipe on the back of the Rolo bag. They call them Rolo Pretzel Delights and boy are they delightful!

I had everything on hand and whipped them together in no time! Literally, they take under 10 minutes!

Rolo Pretzel Delights

Ingredients:

Small pretzels
Rolos
Pecan halves

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Place one pretzel for each pretzel treat desired on prepared sheet. Top each pretzel with one ROLO.
3. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until caramel piece begins to soften, but not melt. Remove from oven; top with pecan half. Cool completely.

They are like yummy turtles with a hint of salt and crunch from the pretzel!

Valentines Recipe: Red Velvet Waffles

January 24, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 9 Comments

If you’ve been with us a while, you are probably aware of my love of themey food. I saw this red velvet crepe recipe on Pinterest and loved it, but I’m kinda lazy and thought it was made with a cake mix (I know, blasphemy for some of you). Not so. So I decided to take things in to my own hands and make a Valentine’s recipe using a red velvet cake mix. Oh yes, I did.

Valentines Recipe {Red Velvet Waffles}

How you do it depends on how you want it. We made a breakfast version and a dessert version.

Dessert Waffle (Soft & cake like)

Mix up the cake mix according to package directions and pour in to waffle maker. Cook as usual. It comes out as a waffle shaped piece of cake in a few minutes! Tops with Strawberries and whipped cream or chocolate sauce or frosting and ice cream. Whatever you love!

Breakfast Waffle (Waffle like: crunchy outside with cake inside)

Mix up Bisquick and Cake mix separately according to package directions.

Mix together 1 part prepared cake batter to 4 parts Bisquick batter. (We did 1 cup Bisquick to 1/4 cup cake mix)

Pour in Waffle Maker and cook as usual.

We topped ours with homemade Strawberry jam (warmed to a syrupy state) and whipped cream. Daddy likes a little…

But, mommy likes a LOT!

MMmmm!

We have a small family, so after making our breakfast style waffles I poured the rest of the batter into a square pan and baked it up as a cake for later that night.

What’s your favorite Valentines recipe?

Donut Snowman on a Stick: Once There was a Snowman, Snowman, Snowman…

November 18, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 25 Comments

We’re debuting the Point of View theme ideas a little early this month because though GIFTS is a fitting theme for Black Friday we though you might be busy with gifts elsewhere. 😉

We want to see your Point of View on gifts so be sure to link up your gift ideas on the Point of View link up on Organize and Decorate Everything!

Without further adeiu, an ode to the Snowman.

I grew up with a little song called “Once There was a Snowman.” Are you with me here?

Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman.

Once there was a snowman tall, tall, tall.

In the sun he melted, melted, melted.

In the sun he melted small, small, small.

Lyrical genius right?

I saw the donuts with the carrot nose and thought an expansion on that idea would be the perfect homage to said song.

{Donut Snowman on a Stick}

CAREFULLY (two donuts were harmed in the making of this snowman) skewer three powder donuts.

Cut a baby carrot in half and put in hole for nose. Add grape Nerd eyes and mouth to look like coal. You my need a dob of frosting or honey to hold them in place.

Add a green apple sour straw as a scarf. Break a toothpick in half and secure the scarf by poking the toothpick through the straw and in to the donut on the top where they overlap and on the bottom of the piece that hangs down the front. You can see the tiny dot of the toothpick on the bottom of the scarf.

Add two red jawbreakers as buttons.

Place in a treat bag with a bow and pass out to your friends.

They will have all sorts of fun singing the song and gobbling him up small, small, small.

Be sure to visit the other girls for some great gift ideas and link up your gift ideas on the Point of View link up on Organize and Decorate Everything for your chance to be featured!

Tie Party

November 14, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 3 Comments

As many of you know my littlest guy just turned one. It’s a tradition in our family (you know since we’ve done it twice now) to go all out for their first birthday party. It’s a big milestone and besides that mommy can do whatever she chooses because at one the birthday boy doesn’t care to have any input. Yay! I decided on a Little Guy in a Tie party theme, but was struggling with a color scheme until I found the shirt.

Thank you Target for providing the perfect shirt for the occasion (which everyone at the party thought I made) and thus deciding the color scheme for me. You may have also spotted the “perfect shirt” on my oldest in my DIY photo booth post.

What’s a tie party without a tie party banner?

Cut out ties and letters with my silhouette and attached it all with glue dots.

And what’s a tie party banner without a whole bunch of food to match. I thought it would be fun to make all of the food in the color scheme of green, white and black. Sounds weird, but there is a surprising amount of tasty food in those colors.
