Pay Day Rice Krispy Treats

So when I was in college I had this slight love affair with Pay Days. You know the candy bar?  Not sure if I was just tricking myself into thinking they were slightly healthy because of all the peanuts or what but I couldn't get enough of them. Luckily at that point in my life I followed a pretty regular exercise schedule (and was still blessed with a young, speedy metabolism) Flash forward 10 or so years... and not so much.

Crunch Bar Rice Krispy Treats

I feel like Crunch bars are the one of the more undervalued candy bars out there. I mean I know there's things like Snickers and Twix and Milky Ways that have a lot more going on, but sometimes there's something awesome about a simple crispy Crunch bar. Am I right?

Brown Butter Rice Krispy Treats

Some days I wonder what I was thinking becoming a mom.

Frosting Rice Krispy Treats

So guess what guys, my twins turned 1 years old this week! Woot woot!!! No seriously, there were moment in this last year when I didn't think I was going to make it. There were days where I was so tired I was borderline delirious. My 2 year old became very familiar with Curious George, Daniel Tiger, etc those first few months. But it's ok because we made it!! 

Churro Rice Krispy Treats

So I feel like moms get a bad rap for driving, The other day I was driving the family home. I pulled up to a red light and during the lull began gathering up the scattered sippy cups in my car and shoving them into my diaper bag. My husband sitting shotgun loudly exclaimed, "That's such a mom move! You pull up to a red light and immediately start getting distracted multitasking!"

My Top Valentines Rice Krispy Treats

Ah, Valentines Day, that magical day that can you can tell everyone how much you love them, buy flowers that are marked up to twice their normal price, expect to receive ginormous teddy bears, eat inordinate amounts of chocolates and sweets just because... it's a great day isn't it?

Snickers Rice Krispy Treats

So my husband's been eating healthy the past few weeks and I tell you, it's been a real strain on me. You can laugh but this is a serious issue. How's a girl supposed to indulge in a bowlful of ice cream when her husband's sitting next to her on the couch eating carrot sticks? Or how's she going to finish a package of leftover mini snickers she found from Christmas (this is purely a hypothetical situation) while the husband is snacking on his "handful" of craisins? I mean really?

Hot Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats

Um, is it freezing where you guys are? Because it's freezing here. No, like literally, I am freezing. I take out our trash and I can't feel my toes kind of cold. My children have forgotten what the outside world looks like it's been so long since we've left the house. I don't look at my electricity bill anymore.

Berry Cobbler Rice Krispy Treats

Um, so I'm pretty sure my husband and I have a distorted view of healthy eating.  Here's a recent conversation we had (as in last night):

Me: "Hey, I'm headed to the grocery store - anything specific you want or need?"
Husband: "Double Stuffed Oreos!"
Me: "No way, those aren't even slightly healthy!"
Husband: "Ok... how about just regular Oreos then?"
Me: "... Really?"

7 Layer/Magic Bars Rice Krispy Treats

Basic Rice Krispy Treats

Um, so in the last few weeks I have had several people ask me where my basic rice kripsy treat recipe is. Just a good plain, old fashioned rice krispy cereal and marshmallows. They've looked through my site and haven't been able to find it anywhere. Well people that's because I am an ultimate fail. My cooking blog, dedicated to rice krispy treats, does not have a basic rice krispy treat recipe! How embarrassing...

Root Beer Float Rice Krispy Treats

There are some things in life that should always make the "Nothing Feels Better Than ____" list. For example, I can pretty much guarantee every time I take off a pair of high heels I will loudly proclaim, "NOTHING feels better than taking off a pair of heels!"

Graham Rice Krispy Treats

So once upon a time I went to college at a school called BYU. Many moons ago. Like any good university, BYU had an on site school creamery. A place I can say I spent many a night downing my fair share of ice cream concoctions. Now I'm totally in love with trying new flavors, I really don't like having the same thing twice, but there was one flavor I could always count on in my ice cream creations: Graham Canyon.
