I must be honest when it comes to this outfit. I paired it, all the peaces are trending, but it totally took me back to the 90s – yes, I know, let’s all catch our breath. From the mules, to the boatneck sweater, to the cropped pants, I know I have seen (and even worn) this look before. So I went with this Fall Trend of 2017 (no, not 1996) and did my best to fall in love with the 90s all over! I bring you a a Relaxed Boatneck Sweater Outfit with pulls from J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Ulta beauty – enjoy!

Christmas Tree Rice Krispie Treats

Pin to Pinterest

Celebrate the season with these festive Christmas Tree Rice Krispie Treats. We love how simple they are to make and how many food crafting fun options there are with them. Mix it up this year, instead of cookie decorating make a forest of these little trees and have the kiddos decorate them to their hearts content. They will love adding icing, sprinkles and candy to make their own special trees. This would also be a fun food craft to take to a classroom party. Happy holidays!

Ingredients:

6 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
3 tbsp Butter
10.5 oz Marshmallows
Green Food Coloring
12 Miniature Reese’s Cups
1/3 cup M&M Minis
12 Candy Stars
3 cup Powdered Sugar
3 tbsp Milk
3 tbsp Corn Syrup

Directions:

To help in forming the cone shape, I took the foam that comes in a waffle cone pack to protect the cones and cut it to make a form to help shape the trees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium to large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Add enough food coloring to make mixture dark green (it will lighten when cereal is added).
Remove from heat.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
Allow to set about 4 minutes.
Butter a your hands and form mixture into cone shapes.
Place cones onto prepared pan.
Allow to cool and firm up for several hours.
Mix powdered sugar, milk and corn syrup in a bowl until smooth.
Transfer to piping bag or zippered bag to pipe onto cookies.
Pipe like a garland around each tree.
Space M&M minis like ornaments onto the garland.
Pipe a dab of icing on top of tree to act as glue and attach star.
Place a Reese’s upside down on pan. Pipe icing on it and place tree on top.
Allow to set before serving.

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe on Frugal Coupon Living using bananas, chocolate chips, almond butter, eggs and more. Natural Clean Eating Muffin Idea. Great Paleo breakfast or Paleo snack.

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pin to Pinterest

What does Paleo Mean? As defined by Webster, Paleo means older or ancient, especially relating to the geological past. The Paleo diet is based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans. The diet consists of foods that can be hunted or fished like meat, organ meat and seafood and foods that can be gathered like eggs, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices.

Looking for a morning muffin or afternoon snack? This Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin not only tastes great but your body will appreciate the ingredients! We have made this recipe with peanut butter and almond butter. I would stick with a runnier nut butter (like almond butter). I substituted peanut butter previously and it wasn’t as moist as the original recipe.

Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Yields: 11-12 muffins (depending on the size of bananas used)
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Bake Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup almond butter
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup dark chocolate chips (or more if desired)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place baking cup liners in muffin or cupcake pan, or lightly grease the pan cups.
Place all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a large bowl and mix well to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon batter into cups of prepared pan until each cup is about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for presentation.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes: I would stick with a runnier nut butter (like almond butter). I substituted peanut butter previously and it wasn’t as moist as the original recipe.

Snowman Grahams

Pin to Pinterest

These Snowman Grahams are too cute and super simple to make! Decorating cookies for Christmas is a ton of fun but, it requires a lot of prep and clean up afterward. During the holiday season you may want to take an easier route for food crafting fun. Make Snowman Grahams instead for a fun treat and easy clean up! They’d be perfect to make for a food crafting playdate with a few kiddos or, why not make this part of your larger holiday party with kids? Any group will love these sweet treats!

Ingredients:

Graham crackers
Regular marshmallows
Jet puffed mallow bits
Wilton sparkle gel: red, green, and black
Wilton orange candy melts

Directions:

Begin by cutting your marshmallows in half so that you have two circles for every marshmallow.
Place three marshmallow halves onto each graham cracker like pictured.
Now cut the sides off your orange candy melts to make a small triangle from each one.
Use the sparkle gel as glue to glue it onto the center of the top marshmallow.
Now with your black sparkle gel, paint on the snowman’s eyes, mouth, buttons, and arms.
Again using the sparkle gel as glue, glue your marshmallow bits on the graham cracker, around the snowman to look like snow.
To finish your snowman, paint on a scarf with your green sparkle gel, and use the red sparkle gel to make polka dots onto the scarf.
Your snowman are complete! And your kids are sure to have fun making these!

Edible OREO Acorns

Pin to Pinterest

We think these OREO Acorns will be a hit with your family this Fall! Not only are they delicious but, they’re fun to make! The kids will love to help with every step of this recipe. Did you know that Oreos took their flavors to a whole new level and added peanut butter? YUM! They may look intricate to make but, in just a few simple steps you will have a bowl of OREO acorns to nibble. Happy Fall!

Ingredients:

1 package peanut butter Oreos
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
12 oz Chocolate chips or Chocolate Candiquick chips
6 oz Butterscotch or Peanut Butter chips
Brown Sprinkles
Pretzel Sticks

Directions:

Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature
Put Oreos in the food processor and pulse until you have crumbs. You may need to split this into two batches depending on the size of your food processor.
Once the cream cheese is softened, mix the Oreos and cream cheese together until well blended.
Use a heaping tablespoon of the mixture to form into acorn shapes. To form, roll into an elongated ball, then pinch one end to make it slightly tapered. Place the acorns on a baking sheet with wax paper and place them in the freezer for 1 hour.
After the acorns are hard, melt the chocolate. Dip each acorn into the chocolate with a fork. Tap the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate – then place back on parchment paper. Continue until all acorns are dipped, and then allow them to come to room temperature to harden.
Once the chocolate covered acorns are hardened, melt the butterscotch chips and pour brown sprinkles into a separate bowl.
Dip the tops of each chocolate covered acorn into the butterscotch – then immediately dip into the sprinkles.
Cut ½ inch pieces of the pretzel sticks. Dip the edge of each pretzel stick into the butterscotch and press into the top of each acorn. Return to baking sheet to allow the pretzels to set before serving.
