For those of you, who are used to a recipe from me, know every so often I post something I have repurposed – and when I say “I”, I mean I buy and have the idea and Mr. Picky Eater executes the design. This one is pretty impressive and it’s all due to MPE’s talent!…
Holidays
Rice Krispie Candy
I found this recipe on the Imperial Sugar site and knew I wanted to try these. They were made for Imperial Sugar by the blogger at Fields of Cake. The recipe is easy and the taste is deee-licious! I changed it just a little by adding my own idea of what good toppings would be…
Tailgating – BBQ Burritos
Are you ready for some football?!?! This Saturday begins the college season for us and while we are still frantically moving the kids in with us and rearranging the entire house, all will stop for a few hours on Saturday to watch the University of Oklahoma play a game of football.

Easy Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Doll Cake
Boy has it been a wild few days but I worked this cake in so if you wanted, you could too and get it done before Halloween. When I was 6-years-old my parents gave me a Barbie cake and even though I was not a big Barbie doll player, I loved that cake and always…

In the summer of 2007, Lawyer Boy got to do an internship in Louisiana for the summer between his junior and senior year of college. When we were visiting, he brought some doughnuts to our hotel room. I thought they were doughnuts – but they were actually spudnuts! Spudnuts are crispy on the outside and…
