Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atl Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atlanta for Benjamin's birthday! 

We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

It's my birthday! We're making glitter drinks! ✨ It's my birthday! We're making glitter drinks! ✨

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Maste Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Masters! ⛳️

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

Valentine’s Easy Cherry Turnovers

In honor of “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: Always and Forever” coming out today, I made these SUPER easy cherry turnovers. Now in the movie, Lara Jean makes hers from scratch. I did not do that. I made mine in a few minutes but they were so tasty. Since it’s also Valentine’s Day this weekend, I made the icing pink. Check out how I made these yummy, easy cherry turnovers below.

Check out my Valentine donut board and Valentine Rice Krispie Treats.

easy cherry turnovers

Ingredients:
-Frozen puff pastry
-cherry pie filling
-1 egg white
-1.5 cups powdered sugar
-2 tbsps milk
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-Wax paper
-Food coloring (optional)

Directions:
-Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
-Thaw your frozen puff pastry according to the box. I put mine in a paper towel and microwaved for 15 seconds on both sides.
-Once thawed, cut your pastry into your desired shape. Some people cut into a square and fold over into a triangle. I went strictly Lara Jean and made rectangles. Either way, use a pizza cutter to get the desired shape. Just make sure you have a top and a bottom, or something you can fold.
-Place the bottom piece on a baking sheet with wax paper.
-Cut a small slit into the top layers of pastry. I did three, there was no rhyme or reason to it.
-Open the can of cherry pie filling and put a spoonful or two on the bottom layer of your turnover.
-Cover the bottom layer and cherry filling with the top layer of pastry.
-I used a fork to help seal the two layers, but you don’t have to do that.
-Brush an egg white over the pastries to help seal the turnovers.
-Bake for 20-25 minutes.

For the icing
-Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl.
-Whisk together until smooth.
-Add food coloring if desired.
-Either spoon over the warm turnovers or place into a piping bag and pipe icing onto turnovers.

These turned out SO tasty! I was very excited they didn’t explode all over my oven, so I highly recommend the fork trick. I’m adding this to my list of breakfast items I can make that look impressive, but really take very little effort! We ate all of these easy cherry turnovers, and wished we had more.

What’s your favorite breakfast food? Have you watched “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before 3?”
