If you’re searching for a quick yet festive dessert for a {belated} Father’s Day, the College World Series, a baseball team party or any other baseball-themed party, look no further. These Baseball Brownies à la Mode are perfect for any baseball fan and the combo of chocolate cake or brownies, vanilla ice cream and raspberry jam is a homerun.
Minnie & Mickey Mouse rainbow cookies added color to the treats table at my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party and dog bone cookies were the perfect way to include Pluto in the festivities. Both cookies were simple, festive additions to the dessert spread.
Rice Krispie treats are such an easy filler for parties and they are always a crowd-pleaser. To fit the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme, I mixed in some Clubhouse-colored M&M’s and cut the marshmallow treats out with a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter.
Fruit bouquets make the perfect healthy snack in addition to being eye-catching centerpieces for parties, BBQ’s and picnics. They can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. You {and your kids!} can make a detailed plan, brainstorming how to make different fruits look like specific flowers or you can simply jump into an making an arrangement using an assortment of fruits, cookie cutters and skewers.
This dessert is simply my favorite Hawaiian breakfast in pound cake form. By substituting low-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, I can have my tropical cake and eat it, too!
A little bit of this coconut syrup goes a long way. It is rich and sweet and will transport you to the islands in just one bite. I use the syrup for breakfast on banana macadamia nut pancakes and I also like to incorporate it into desserts.
This white chocolate & dried cranberry oatmeal combination is another one of my homemade energy bar favorites and as with the other flavors, you won’t even notice that the healthy snack bars are full of wholesome goodness {whole wheat, wheat germ, oatmeal, flax seed and Greek yogurt!}.
These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.
Bite-sized carrot cake squares covered in white chocolate? Yes, please! Naturally-dyed cream cheese frosting carrots add the finishing touch. Happy Easter!
Maybe it’s the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.
