thursday things

It’s Thursday and you know what that means – time for Thursday Things!

I found these “Reese’s Crunchers” at CVS and they are amazing. It’s sort of like a ‘no bake cookie’ with crispies in it. It’s amazing. You must find them.

If you have the slightest bit of OCD, this cake cutting video will surely put you over the edge.

Amazon Prime has added a “Surprise Sweets” button to their line of Dash buttons, which order products on demand at the press of a button. For $18 you’ll receive a specially-curated box of sweets to enjoy!

New York’s favorite Big Gay Ice Cream will soon be available at stores nation-wide! Sadly, their crazy soft-serve concoctions aren’t an option.

Does picking out your eggs at the grocery store seem more than complicated? Learn what all the gibberish on those labels really means.

In the latest “everything you do is killing you” news, apparently we are poisoning ourselves with rice.

A new Reese’s flavor is coming next month and it combines my two loves in life: Reese’s & Oreos – it’s like a dream come true!

With Easter on the way, this post couldn’t possibly be complete without an Easter Brunch round up!

Savory, eggy, and cakey all at once – Ottolenghi’s Cauliflower Cake would be great as an appetizer, side, or main dish

Or hop on the bandwagon with some super trendy avocado toast

Sleep in and make this overnight cinnamon roll casserole

No brunch is complete at our house without good old-fahsioned Monkey Bread 

Or go savory with a fancy-pants crustless quiche

Or maybe keep it a little lighter with some coconut almond cluster granola

Once I found out how to heat ham in the slow cooker I didn’t know how I ever managed to live any other way. Make your own glaze or pick up a HoneyBaked – either way the crockpot is the way to go!

It is Easter so eat like a bunny and try out this delightfully refreshing carrot salad!

Try out Arizona’s own famous OMG Chopped Salad

Then balance out your light salad with some hearty instant pot scalloped potatoes.

Go ahead and show off with this berry basket cake.

You can even make your own Peeps!

And wash it all down with a jellybean martini

Gratuitous red panda

thursday things – an easter recipe round up

peeps 0572

Easter is almost upon us. If you’re not sure how much food you’ll need, berries.com has created a super handy Easter Brunch menu calculator! Whether you’re making brunch, lunch, dinner, or brinner (that’s a thing, right?) this calculator has your back!

If, on the other hand, you’re still not sure what you want to make, that’s a whole different sort of pickle to be in. I’m a ham girl myself, which works equally well in breakfast, lunch, and dinner applications. But I always seem to get hung up on the accouterments, don’t you? Well fear not, because I’ve got some ideas for you.    Continue reading
