Transforming Peeps Yellow Marshmallow Bunnies--Pikachu and Despicable Me Minions

These minion marshmallows are made from a deconstructed yellow Peeps bunny. 

 "Like every former fat kid, I love marshmallows." --The Sandwich King on Chopped.

I would definitely have to agree with these infinite words of wisdom. And marshmallow peeps are so easy to transform with edible food pens like Wilton's FoodWriters. The have such personality and can be really fun to play around with--especially because you get to eat them all at the end of the day!

Springtime Nail Polish Marshmallow Tootsie Rolls

Happy Spring everyone! Today was absolutely beautiful here in Cincinnati (high of 78+) and for the first time since last fall I was able to wear flip flops today. And not just any flip flops, but these beautiful Tory Burch flip flops my sister got me for my birthday that I'm absolutely obsessed with. What goes hand-in-hand with flip flops? Nail polish of course. Naturally, I had to paint my toes this morning since they would be on display, which seemed to fit perfectly with this cute summery treat.

I saw a version of these nail polish treats on Pinterest where the marshmallows were dipped in frosting and attached to the Tootsie Roll with melted chocolate, which inspired me to see if I could make a simplified version. All you need is large marshmallows  Tootsie Rolls, sugar, and food coloring. How easy is that?

Healthy Broccoli Spinach Egg and Cheese Cupcakes

These broccoli, spinach, egg, and cheese "cupcakes" make a really nice single-serving healthy meal and are so easy to make.

Hiding Bunny Easter Cupcakes

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

These cupcakes were so easy to make and yet are still really cute. All you need is white chocolate, sprinkles (or sugar), and green frosting (and cupcakes of course!).

I just wanted to apologize for being MIA these past weeks. I have a million posts to put up (dating back to before Valentines day, eek!!) but its midterms week here at UC law, which means our huge briefs are due (and let me tell you, they aren't brief at all) and profs are squeezing in more reading and more material into this week before spring break than I ever would have thought was possible. Bear with me and as soon as I have a chance to breathe (and sleep) I will post all of these great recipes for you. Trust me, you won't want to miss them! Until then, here's some Guinea pigs in hats. There's entire websites dedicated to these little munchkins--you're welcome. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Valentine's Day Truffles--Victoria's Secret

 The past two weeks at Victoria's Secret they were offering a box of truffles with all purchases over a certain amount. Luckily, I needed to buy some new shape-wear for my Barrister's Ball last weekend. (Note: They were amazing, and so much better than Spanx, I would highly recommend them!)

 The truffles were pretty...interesting, to say the least.

Sprinkles Cupcakes in Chicago, IL

While in Chicago, IL, last weekend, Will and I had to make a stop at Sprinkles Cupcakes. The cupcakes definitely did not disappoint! They were a bit overpriced but absolutely amazing. Overall, I think you could say that about our entire Chicago trip--overpriced, but amazing.

Love Letter Valentine's Day Cut-out Cookies

These love letter cookies couldn't be easier and look really cute with a simple heart sprinkle "seal". These cookies were inspired by the Baking in Heels version HERE, but mine are much easier to make. I don't like waiting for cookie sections to dry--"ain't nobody got time for that!"

Football Stadium Cut-out cookies

Here is the final cookie! Football stadiums, complete with adorable little sprinkle "fans" in the audience.

These cookies are inspired by Ali Bee's football cookies, found HERE.
