Halloween Cream Cheese Mints

Halloween Cream Cheese Mints

I always make these Cream Cheese Mints for Christmas because they are super easy and tasty. But last month I found a 4 section bottle of sprinkles at Marshall’s with black, orange, red, and green!  It covered both Halloween and Christmas so I was all 

Fall Pumpkin Risotto

Fall Pumpkin Risotto

I’ve been craving risotto and it seemed like the perfect time of the year to make pumpkin risotto.  Arborio rice, or risotto rice, is naturally gluten-free and cooks up like pasta (think orzo, but creamy), so it’s a perfect ingredient to use.  Initially, I wanted 

Elections make people ugly

The day after an election is always so eye-opening. Eye-opening in a way that makes you realize how ignorant people can be. How much people hate to lose or gloat about winning…that they are willing to insult their friends and family who may have different

Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Mix and Buttercream Frosting Recipe

I have a new favorite gluten-free sugar cookie mix that I picked up at Marshall’s a month or so ago! When I bought the Pure Pantry Sugar Cookie Mix, I didn’t really have a plan (or much hope) for them, but I decided to make 

Workout Wednesday: Last Week of Challenge!

Posting on Thursday because Wednesday was Foodie Pen Pal Reveal Day, so I decided to include Wednesday’s workout, which was the LAST DAY of the Halloween Challenge Workout!  As a reminder, here’s the challenge that started on Sunday, October 7 and went until Halloween. I
