V a l e n t i n e ' s D a y 💖 Let's Make Valentine’s Day Extra Special, Fun, and Full of Love (With Handmade Gifts, Sweet Treats & More!) 💘 Tired of the same old Valentine’s routine? Let’s shake things up with creativity, laughter, and heart-melting moments! This year, ditch the store-bought stuff and make the day truly unforgettable with thoughtful handmade gifts, cozy home-cooked meals, and baking that smells (and tastes!) like love. Whether you're celebrating with a partner, friends, or flying solo, I’ve got fun, feel-good ideas to fill your day with joy, sweetness, and all the warm fuzzy vibes. 💕🍪🎁 I've have you covered for Valentine's Day 2025! Making It Special What a perfect holiday to celebrate with your loved ones. Whether it be you and your significant other friends or your little kiddos! Before I share recipes, I wanted to give you a few ideas on how to make the day a little extra special. Here are our tops tips for an amazing Valentine's Dinner: Use champagne glasses for sparkling cider or another yummy drink to make it more special. (Plastic for the kids) Add some candles to your dinner to make it a little more special. Add a coloring book and box of crayons to the table for the kids to color before or during dinner. Keep all the food pink or red to make it extra festive! Include fondue with the dinner. Whether it’s savory cheese or sweet caramel or chocolate with fruit, everyone will love it! Dinner for 2, 4, 6 or 8? When it comes to building a menu for Valentine’s, it all starts with the main dish. Are you cooking for 2? A couple of gal pals? The entire family? Once you’ve decided that, you can go on to pick your appetizers, drinks, sides, and dessert. I feel it's always a good idea to do a mix of homemade and store bought food so you don’t have to create every part of the meal. For example, make the main dish and buy a bagged salad and fruit for sides. Make the dessert and buy the drink. Makes for less work, but just as good. Semi-Homemade is the best!

VALENTINE'S DAY DESSERT DRINKS & GIFT TIPS I love to make this a special day for my Husband. And one of the best ways to do that is with a dessert or special treat! Here are a few tips: Use Cute Decor: Pink, red or heart plates make the table festive. Even a few balloons or a pretty bouquet centerpiece make it look special. Don’t stress if you don’t have time for dessert! There are great ideas on this list, but other store-bought ideas include: chocolate covered strawberries, mini chocolate heart boxes or favorite candy bars for each guest or kid. Another easy dessert idea is FONDUE!! Use my homemade cookies and cream dip , cream cheese fruit dip or cannoli dip and have fruits, marshmallows, mini cookies and more to dip in. Use champagne glasses for sparkling cider or another yummy drink to make it more special. (Use plastic for the kiddos.) Sprinkle the table with candy conversation hearts or other Valentine’s candy. You can even add a small box of Oreo truffles to each plate as a treat for after dinner. Make sugar cookies for a treat and let the kids frost and decorate them after dinner. Make a special jewelry piece as a gift for each of your friends, and set at each of their place settings with their names on them.

Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane: On a cute ceramic plate cover with plastic wrap or doily. Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper. Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! Great for teacher gifts! Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages. Stack your cookies, since the top closed and tie with a ribbon and personalized tag. A brown lunch bag is pretty in its simplicity. Stack cookies in a brown lunch bag.

  • Father's Day | CWT

    "Find the perfect Father’s Day gift ideas, recipes, and celebration tips to make dad feel special and appreciated." F a t h e r ' s D a y Why not spoil the men in our lives that we love so dear with an amazing meal?! These Father's Day dinner ideas will help you do just that. Give him a day he will never forget! I've got you covered for Father's Day 2025! Celebrate Dad With A Meal! I love celebrating Father’s Day and ensuring my husband is recognized and appreciated for all he does and for being the best father and hubby on the planet. One of the ways I celebrate is with a delicious homemade dinner on this special occasion! I will even recreate his favorite restaurant meal on occasion. Savory to sweet. There’s a mix of classic and unique main dishes , side dishes , and desserts for every skill level and taste preference! Gift ideas. Besides delicious recipes, we’ve included creative non-food ideas for celebrating Father’s Day, adding an extra special touch to the occasion. For every dad. Whether your dad is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, or loves a loaded salad , or a Pepperoni Pizza , there are plenty of yummy ideas to add to your Father’s Day menu. Delicious Menu Ideas To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Plan the Menu Whether you’re planning a small dinner for Dad or hosting a large gathering, planning your Father’s Day meal menu ahead of time helps: Watch local grocery store ads for sales. Make any new recipes ahead of time to work out trial and error. (Hey it happens to the best of us!) Make it a pot luck gathering. Allow friends and family to bring a dish. Include dishes that can be made ahead of time. (This is always a saver for me!) Make sure you have enough time and space to cook everything. Using a crock pot helps free up the oven and stovetop space. Grilling Tips A backyard barbecue is a common way we celebrate Father’s Day. Some Dads love to grill but others may appreciate a break from the duty. Here are a few tips to help you step in: Take the meat out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before grilling. Create a chart that lays out what item will be grilled in what section, as well as how long each piece of meat will need to cook. Do not overlap the different types of food before or during grilling. Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature of each type of meat. (Be sure to clean it off with soapy water between uses so you don't cross contaminate.) It can be tempting to poke, prod, and flip the meat, but don’t. It would help if you only flipped it once. By doing so you allow each side to heat up enough to start forming a nice caramelized crust. Grilling vegetables takes a fraction of the time as the meat. Since meat needs to rest once it is done cooking, this is a perfect time to reduce the heat and grill up your veggies. If you add BBQ Sauce or other flavorful sauces too early, it just tends to char. Allow your meat to cook almost completely before coating it with the sauce. Allow meat to rest for a few minutes before cutting. This will hold in the juices so you don't loose all the flavor . Best Father's Day Lunch & Dinner Ideas Grilled Steaks are always a hit with the guys. Marinated, or dry rubbed, and grilled to perfection with a side of corn on the cob and loaded baked potatoes and you're good to go! Or check out this long list of King-approved favorites that any guy is sure to love – like my finger licking, bite off the bone baby back ribs!

Here are some other fun ways to make the day special. To go all out, use your dad’s favorite hobby as a theme for the meal. Crown him “ King for the Day” and turn his seat at the table into a throne. Have kids help cook dinner. Younger kids can help wash produce, pour, and stir. Older kids can help peel and cut produce. They can measure and follow simple recipes. Teens 12+ should be able to cook on the stove and in the oven. Take him to his favorite ice cream parlor. Plan to do dad’s favorite activity- have a video game competition, go to a car show, go fishing, play catch or his favorite board game. Serve him breakfast in bed. (That's always a hit in my house!) Begin a memory book. Ask questions about his childhood and record the answers. Continue to ask new questions each week and present him with a completed book the next year.

T h a n k s g i v i n g All the Thanksgiving recipes you need to help build your delicious menu and festive tables. From drinks & appetizers (Pickies as I like to call them) to sides, main dishes and desserts. I've got you covered for Thanksgiving 2025! Plan a Cooking Schedule Plan a scheduled based on these questions: What can be made ahead of time? Can anything be made in a crock pot? What are all the items that need to be cooked in the oven and in what order? Can any items go into the oven at the same time? What are all the items that need to be cooked on the stove top and what order? How can I keep items warm? Do any dishes need to be reheated? Jot down a schedule for yourself to keep you on track and always add a buffer of 30 minutes. Trust me it helps when things don't always go as planned, it happens to all of us! 😉 Top Main Dishes Oven Roasted Turkey Brown Sugared Glazed Ham Roasted Pork Loin Tammy's Baby Back Ribs VIEW ALL POSTS Dinner Tips Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday because we get to spend time with family and friends, but it can often be stressful, especially those that don't like to be in the kitchen often. Here are some things to organize and plan to make the day easy peasy for you! MENU: How much to make? Figure out about how many people will be attending. Then, decide how much to make of each item. Add an additional dish for every 6 people attending. A rule of thumb... the way I like to prepare... 1 appetizer, 1 Main Dish (protein), a dozen rolls or a loaf of bread, 3 sides (1 starch, 2 veggies or 1 sweet), 2 desserts (whatever you choose), and one special cocktail and or mock-tail for a party of 4 people. Don’t be afraid to ask your guests to bring a dish. Most are happy to help! STORAGE: Clean out the fridge the week before to make room for Thanksgiving food. Trust me, this will make your life MUCH easier! SHOPPING: Don’t wait until the last minute. Stores get crowded and ingredients run out. There are also many things you can buy ahead of time that you can freeze like: Meats (turkey , ham etc.) Mashed potatoes Frozen Veggies for sides - like Green Bean Casserole Cheeses – Shredded Dessert ingredients (and desserts like Caramel Apple or Pumpkin Pie ) Juice concentrates (for drinks like Tin Can Margaritas, Pain Killer (You may need one after the In-Laws leave!) or Harvest Punch ) and grab those bottles of wine! Other items that can be stored in the fridge or pantry for at least a week, include: Dips Crackers Canned Goods - gravy, cranberry sauce, etc... Cheeses (for charcuterie boards and appetizers ) Candies and Nuts (for guests to munch on) Top Side Dishes Nana's Portuguese Stuffing Creamy Mashed Potatoes Green Bean Casserole Sweet Potato Casserole VIEW ALL POSTS Cranberry Orange Sauce Roasted Asparagus Patty's Stuffed Mushrooms Roasted Shrimp Cocktail Tips & Tricks for Thanksgiving Sides How much to make? The following information can help guide you in how much to make. This is the process I use every year. Potato dish: plan 8 oz per person Vegetable dish: plan 6 oz per person Plan 2-3 rolls per person Anticipate needing 1 cup salad per person Drinks: 1 bottle of wine per person so stock your bar Make ahead of time! And be sure to use different cooking methods like the oven, instant pot and slow cooker to help out. Keeping Sides Hot: Here are a few ideas you can use to help keep your food hot. A cooler: Not just for keeping food cold! Its insulation will also help retain heat. Cover the pots and pans with a lid or foil and stack them inside. (Be sure that they don’t smoosh the food underneath) Using a baking sheet or piece of wood to stack helps! Use the grill. A gas grill, with a thermometer, will work to keep foods warm. Keep the internal temp around 200°F. A crock pot set to low or warm. Use an insulated food carrier Chafing Dishes The drawer under the stove... This is what it was intended for... But we all know you store your pans for the holidays in there like me... So we will leave that drawer out of the list! 😉 Top Fall Dinner Cocktails & Mocktails Harvest Punch Tin-Can Margaritas Eggless-EggNog Pina Coladas VIEW ALL POSTS Top Fall Desserts The Great Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Cream Pie Caramel Apple Pie NY Style Cheesecake VIEW ALL POSTS Dessert Plans & Tips Keep these tips in mind when making your Thanksgiving desserts. Make as many desserts ahead of time as possible. Most desserts store well and still taste delicious the next day. Plan for people to have 2 desserts. A few guests won’t want to have dessert while others will only want 1 or 2 servings. Some, with a sweet tooth, will desire more. Planning 2 dessert servings per person will ensure everyone gets their fill. Have a separate serving area for desserts. Place small saucers, utensils and napkins next to the dessert display. Using tiered trays or a table cloth bunched and draped over boxes or books if you don't have a lot of tiered dishes is a beautiful way to present desserts as well as save space. Adding a label to each dessert gives a nice finish to the display. You can even include important allergy information on the labels if you choose. Leftover desserts can be boxed up and sent home with guests. Purchase little take out containers from your local dollar store or grocery store for easy disposable transporting. Many desserts can also be stored on the counter or freezer to be enjoyed at a later date. See the individual recipes for storage information.

St. Patty's Dinner Ideas Are you in charge of this year's St. Patty's boiled dinner gathering? If so, here are some of my tips to help you plan this special menu. Appetizers: Plan for each guest to have 4-6 appetizers. Also, provide a variety of hot and cold, savory and sweet, light and heavy appetizers. Be sure to check out my collection of Appetizers . Sides: Plan to have 3-4 different sides for 6 or fewer guests. Add another side dish for every 5 more guests. Check here for my Side Dishes . Main Course: Plan to serve 6 ounces per person if you are serving one main dish. If you have more than one main course plan for 8 oz total per person. Check out my collection of Dinner Ideas . Dessert: Plan to have at least 2 dessert choices for every 10 guests. I always have at least one chocolate dessert and one fruit based dessert. Be sure to check out my collection of Desserts . Preparations Prep ahead of time: Getting things done ahead of time will make the morning go more smoothly. Get your grocery shopping done early. Not only will you beat the crowds, but you don’t risk the store being out of a needed item. Clean the house! You can take a few days prior, and spot clean/tidy the day before. Decorate and set up tables the night before, so no worry of having to do it the day of. Prep any food items the day before. Like desserts can mostly be made ahead. Marinated items, ketchup them sit over night for maximum flavor. Veggie or Crudités, charcuterie boards, fruit trays can be made ahead, covered well with Saran Wrap. (Just don't add the crackers until last minute as they will get soggy!) My Top Main Entrees Corned Beef & Cabbage Shepherds Pie New England Beef Stew Roasted Pork Loin VIEW ALL POSTS My Top Side Dishes Potato Cakes Guinness Beer Bread Creamy Mashed Potatoes "Un-Baked" Mac & Cheese VIEW ALL POSTS St. Patty's Dessert & Decor Tips Be sure to check out all of my Desserts and Cookies before you start planning. Setting up a dessert table: The dessert table design should be just as pleasing to look at as the desserts are to eat. Use a backdrop: drape curtains/fabric, balloons, a window with a view, even a plain wall can make colors pop. Incorporate height: tiered cake stands, stacked books or platforms under a table cloth layover. You can also add height by placing bowls and platters on some type of solid base. Flowers and Candy: are always a nice accent to a dessert table. Place coordinating colored candy in glass or clear plastic containers, and flower vases tiered throughout the table. More Tips: Many desserts can be made AHEAD of time, and leftovers can often be kept in the freezer. See the individual recipes for freezing details. Desserts are a very easy item to delegate when guests ask what they can bring.

Gifting cookies is big tradition for me, so here are some of my top tips for packaging and gifting cookies for any holiday or occasion: The easiest is to put the cookies in a store bought box or tin. Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane! On a cute ceramic plate cover with plastic wrap or doily . Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper. Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! Great for teacher gifts! Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages. Stack your cookies, since the top closed and tie with a ribbon and personalized tag. A brown lunch bag is pretty in its simplicity. Stack cookies in a brown lunch bag. Fold the top over and punch two holes. Thread a simple ribbon through, tulle or raffia also work, and tie the top closed. Add a cute tag to the front of the bag.

Here's how to build a balanced (and crowd-pleasing) variety. This is the perfect spot to bring out salads, and hot sides that go with everything: Use seasonal ingredients — they’re fresher and budget-friendly. Include at least one vegetable, one starch, and one salad for a well-rounded plate. Choose recipes that can be made or prepped ahead to reduce stress on party day. Mix the classic favorites with something new to surprise and delight your guests. Hosting 6 or fewer? Stick with 3–4 sides. For every additional 5 guests, add one more side dish.

Whether you're going big or keeping it simple, here are some easy tips to create a setup that feels festive and fun: 🎇 Create a Backdrop Use fabric, curtains, twinkle lights, a balloon arch, or even a simple blank wall — anything to help your dessert colors pop in photos and add a little drama to the table! 🎂 Add Height and Layers Use tiered cake stands, stack books or boxes under tablecloths, or place platters on risers to create dimension. Varying the height makes the display more eye-catching. 🌸 Add Decorative Touches Flowers, candles, fairy lights, or a mini New Year’s sign can all add elegance and charm to the table. Even a few gold or silver accents go a long way! 💡 Helpful Dessert Table Tips: Make Ahead When You Can – Many desserts can be made in advance and even frozen. Check each recipe for make-ahead and freezer-friendly notes. Let Guests Help – Desserts are one of the easiest things to delegate when someone asks, “What can I bring?” Mix Homemade + Store-Bought – Don’t stress! If you’re short on time, supplement with bakery cookies, chocolates, or even candy trays. It’s all about presentation. 🎉 Easy New Year’s Dessert Ideas: Chocolate fondue bar – Set out marshmallows, fruit, cookies, and pretzels to dip into a rich chocolate or cream cheese dip. Decorate-your-own cookies – Bake sugar cookies ahead of time and let guests (especially kids!) decorate them with icing and sprinkles. Mini treats for everyone – Package up a few truffles or cookies in cute boxes or bags to place at each guest’s setting — a sweet surprise to take home. Festive drinks – Serve sparkling cider or punch in stemmed glasses to make it feel extra fancy (plastic works great for kids!). Sweet table scatter – Sprinkle M&Ms, chocolate kisses, edible confetti, or gold-wrapped candies around the table for an extra pop of fun. Make your dessert table just as memorable as the countdown itself — whether you go all out or keep it simple, a few thoughtful touches can turn your sweet spread into something truly special. 🥂 Here’s to a new year full of flavor, fun, and lots of dessert! Cookies N' Cream Dip Oreo Truffles Party Popcorn German Chocolate Truffles New Year's Gift Tips ✨ Sweet Ways to Make New Year’s Eve Extra Special I love making every holiday feel a little magical... especially for my husband. 💛 And one of my favorite ways to do that is by surprising him with a special dessert or sweet treat to celebrate the occasion.

Think: Gold, silver, or midnight blue plates and napkins Glittery confetti, mini disco balls, or sparkly candles A festive balloon garland or a simple floral centerpiece with metallic accents Even just a few thoughtful touches can make your dessert table feel celebration-ready! 🛒 No Time to Bake? No Problem! If your schedule’s packed (or baking just isn’t your thing), go for fun store-bought treats that still feel festive: Frosted sugar cookies from your local bakery Chocolate-dipped pretzels or truffles Mini cupcakes with gold or silver sprinkles A favorite candy bar at each guest’s place setting Presentation is everything... dress them up on a pretty platter or in individual treat boxes! 🍫 Easy (and Crowd-Pleasing) Dessert Idea: FONDUE! Set up a fun fondue station with dips like: Cookies and cream dip Cream cheese fruit dip Cannoli dip Then add dippers like strawberries, mini cookies, marshmallows, brownie bites, or pretzels. Everyone loves a good dip-and-snack moment! 🥂 Add a Special Touch Serve sparkling cider or punch in stemmed glasses for that NYE feel... use plastic ones for the kids. Sprinkle the table with festive candies like gold-wrapped chocolates or colorful M&Ms. Place a small treat box (truffles, macarons, or cookies!) at each place setting or end of the cocktail table as a sweet takeaway gift. 🍪 Fun for the Kids Set up a sugar cookie decorating station! Bake the cookies ahead of time, then let the little ones (and adults!) decorate with icing, sprinkles, and edible glitter after dinner. 🎁 A Thoughtful Touch Want to make your evening feel even more personal?

Place it at their seat for a heartfelt surprise to start the new year right. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that make the biggest memories. 💫 Here’s to celebrating love, joy, and a sweet start to the new year with a bang! ✨ Cookies, Crafts & Sweet Gifts to Ring in the New Year!

Spooky Desserts: Plan to have at least 2 dessert choices for every 10 guests. I always have at least one chocolate dessert and one fruit based dessert.

Once you have your main dish selected you can start planning sides, but with so many options, how do you do it? Use seasonal ingredients they’re often fresh and cost effective. Complete the meal using at least one of each of the following vegetables, starch and salad. Include sides that can be made or prepped ahead of time. Mix in new and unique with tried and true. Once you have the traditional starch, veggie and salad recipes picked out go ahead and add something new. For 6 or fewer guests have 3-4 different sides, then add one more side for every 5 guests.

Setting up a dessert table: The dessert table design should be just as pleasing to look at as the desserts are to eat. Use a backdrop: drape curtains/fabric, balloons, a window with a view, even a plain wall can make colors pop. Incorporate height with tiered cake stands, stacked books or platforms under a table cloth layover. You can also add height by placing bowls and platters on some type of solid base. Flowers are always a nice accent to a dessert table. More Tips: Many desserts can be MADE AHEAD of time, and leftovers can often be kept in the freezer. See the individual recipes for freezing details. Desserts are a very easy item to delegate when guests ask what they can bring. Scary Great Decor Tips I love to make each and every holiday a special day for my Husband. And one of the best ways to do that is with a dessert or special treat! Here are a few tips: Use Spooky Decor - Dark colored plates in orange, black, monster green, blood red and vampire purple make the table festive. Even a few balloons or a scary bouquet centerpiece make it look special. Don’t stress if you don’t have time for dessert! There are great ideas on this list, but other store-bought ideas include: frosted cookies from your local stores bakery department , colorful chocolate covered peanut butter cookie ghosts and monsters peeps, or favorite candy bars for each guest or kid. Another easy dessert idea is FONDUE!! Use my homemade cookies and cream dip , cream cheese fruit dip or cannoli dip and have fruits, spooky marshmallow peeps, mini cookies and more to dip in. Use stemmed water glasses for a witches brew punch to make it more special. (Use plastic for the kiddos.) Sprinkle the table with spooky marshmallow peeps, M&M candies, chopped up candy bars or other Halloween candy. You can even add a small box of Oreo truffles to each plate as a treat for after dinner.

Gifting cookies is big tradition for me, so here are some of my top tips for packaging and gifting cookies for any holiday or occasion: The easiest is to put the cookies in a store bought box or tin. Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane! On a cute ceramic plate cover with plastic wrap or doily . Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper. Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! Great for teacher gifts! Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages. Stack your cookies, since the top closed and tie with a ribbon and personalized tag. A brown lunch bag is pretty in its simplicity. Stack cookies in a brown lunch bag. Fold the top over and punch two holes. Thread a simple ribbon through, tulle or raffia also work, and tie the top closed. Add a cute tag to the front of the bag.

You’ll find hand-picked recipes by me based on the most popular recipes, the most trusted and tested recipes, and the most efficient recipes that you’ll want to make over and over again! Using a weekly meal plan saves time and money at the grocery store and in the kitchen while keeping your meals fresh and healthy. FREE Grocery List Most of the meal plans include recipes for a family of four. The recipes tend to have similar ingredients to minimize the number of grocery trips you’ll need to make and reduce waste. You’ll notice that each grocery list is divided by sections in a grocery store to make shopping easier for you. You can print out this grocery list or copy/paste it into a grocery list app and check things off as you buy them at the store. The meal plan grocery lists are a life saver! Why Start Meal Planning? From my own experience through life, there is nothing worse then the thought of "What should I make for dinner?" or "Damn, I forgot to take something out to defrost for dinner"? while sitting at work mid day; or the dreaded text message from your spouse or kiddo asking "What's for dinner?" And you have nothing more to say other than... "I have no idea!" Trust me... I was even tired of hearing my own answer too! Having a meal plan for the week will eliminates this stress from your life all together, which is one great benefit I have gained in my life now! Besides having a plan in place, there are several other benefits of meal planning, including: Cutting Cost: Now that inflation has become a huge problem... This is major concern for all of us. When you have a plan set in place, and a specific list of groceries, you eliminate cost wasted on impulse items or produce that never gets used. Now, this isn't counting your snacks you may like to add to your pantry or fridge for the week. Little to No Waste: Wasting money makes me want to cry. I was raised frugal, so it has been instilled in me since I was a child. No wasted money, and no wasted food! Having a set grocery list will help to avoid both of those issues. Variety & Change: My meal plan project is specializing to include a lot of variety, this helps from having the same repetitive meals weekly and hearing "This again!?" So I have compiled menus with a change of Mexican , Asian , Irish , Italian and even Breakfast for Dinner! You and your family can now travel all over the world right from your kitchen table! No More Dinner Roulette: I did some research, and came across something that made me have an Oprah "Ah Ha" moment. Did you know about “decision fatigue” ? It's when you can’t make a decision bases on having to make so many and in this case a big one on something ( like what to make for dinner ) it actually makes you mentally tired. No wonder I would get tired and have an instant migraine when the thought came into my head! When your dinners/daily meals are already planned out, you avoid dealing with this completely! Healthy Habits Without Even Realizing: When you plan/anticipate making well-rounded meals, you’re much more likely to actually make them rather than defaulting to convenience foods like boxed mac and cheese, tuna helper, frozen meals meals, or unhealthy fast food! Home made foods are always going to be a better choice, as you control what is being added to your dishes. Doin't get me wrong, I have my "cheat days" and grab a nasty, greasy burger and fries here an there... 😉 We are all human and always on the go these days! But as you can see, there are SO many benefits to meal planning!

FOURTH OF JULY DESSERT, DRINKS & GIFT TIPS I love to entertain and make dishes to feed my family and friends. This holiday gives me the opportunity to bring it all outdoors.

There are great ideas in your local grocery store, but other store-bought ideas include: Ice cream cake, frozen pies, cookies, and of course cupcakes. Another easy dessert idea my homemade Cookies and Cream Dip , cream cheese fruit dip or cannoli dip and have star shaped fruits, marshmallows, mini cookies and more to dip in. Use mason jars as glasses for Lemonade , Party Punch or ice cold beers. ( You can even put them in the freezer before hand for a few hours for a nice touch!)

Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane: On a cute ceramic plate (great dollar store find) and then cover with plastic wrap or doily. Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper (Check out my firecraker container). Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! You can make fire Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages as well as individually wrapping each cake pop and tying off with a ribbon. Stack your cookies, since the top closed and tie with a ribbon and personalized tag. A brown lunch bag is pretty in its simplicity. Stack cookies in a brown lunch bag. Fold the top over and punch two holes. Thread a simple ribbon through, tulle or raffia also work, and tie the top closed. Add a cute tag to the front of the bag.
