St Patrick’s Day Charcuterie Board

 Remember the Valentine’s Day “candy-cuterie” board I shared? I was loving it so much I created one for St. Patrick’s Day too!  Greens, rainbows & golds, oh my!  This one was from a few years ago and I’m already planning another one for this year and I can’t wait to surprise my kids…be sure you’re following along on instagram so you can see all the behind the scenes of building it and the final result.  A charcuterie board filled with festive sweets…can’t wait!

Why I love Silk for More Than the Benefits of Almond Milk...

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one with a child who is milk-obsessed. I'm not? Great! Now that we've all got that off our chest, let's move onto something that will make you the best mom ever. Silk Almond Milk. Why? Because not only does Silk have the amazing benefits of almond milk, but they have other delicious flavors other than the good ol' original. Let's take a trip, shall we?!
I go to Safeway for my Silk because they have WAY better selection always in stock than other stores. (I buy it bi-weekly, take my word.)

Silk Almond Milk is right where you buy regular cow milk.  You see all that goodness on the right? Six glorious selves full....  Now like I said I buy it bi-weekly. I usually buy the dark chocolate flavor for my morning protein shake. And being part of #CollectiveBias I was exposed to some new flavors and suddenly two cartons ended up in my cart and on my kitchen table.  I'd feel bad about it....since when is buying healthy and delicious Almondmilk something to apologize for?!

I got a new Silk for my son & I....Silk Almond Coconut Blend & Almondmilk Protein+Fiber. I started adding the Protein+Fiber to my shakes for the amazing added benefits and yummy taste it adds. My son loves the AlmondCoconutBlend as a post-nap milk treat (and even the protein+fiber because it's delicious as well!)

We're a milk-loving family and I love being able to give my son Almondmilk that not only tastes delicious but I know is healthy and full of worry-free goodness. I can't wait to add these new flavors to my bi-weekly Almondmilk grocery list and to try some almond milk recipes!

State Cake & being homesick

In case you know zero about me, (because it's the first thing I tell people) I am originally from the gorgeous state of California. And living in absurdly hot Arizona I ache for home quite often, so I obviously did the mature thing and myself a cake to cheer myself up!

To make your state cake, print off an outline, then make a stencil out of wax or freezer paper.  Very lightly press down and apply sprinkles of choice. Remove and smooth any frosting down. BOOM! You, my friend, have made one of the coolest cakes ever with little to no effort. 

Hello you amazing state...I'll be seeing you next weekend.

Sprinkled Animal Crackers

Start with a good old fashioned animal cracker, dip in melted white chocolate-shaking off excess, then dip in shallow bowl of sprinkles, lay on cookie sheet to cool completely. Then enjoy your sprinkly animal-chocolatey goodness!
