The Best Homemade Oreos

by madeitateitloveditupdated on November 27, 2018March 6, 2017Leave a Comment

The BEST Homemade Oreos Super Simple and Easy Homemade Oreos I grew up loving these cookies so much! When my mom would make them they were gone in seconds! I think it also doesn’t help that each cookie takes 2 cookies to make a sandwich! We would always run into the kitchen when they were done and eat them until we were sick! My kids love them just as much! Some of them lick the frosting out of the middle and some of them eat them entirely! They are super yummy and super simple! Just how we like it in …

Milk and Cookie Shots

When I think about New Years Eve recipes I wish it was some glamorous thing! But as a mom of 4 young kids New Years Eve is more about banging pots and pans, blow horns, family friendly food, and trying to make it until the ball drops! So when asked to create a New Years Eve recipe these cookie and milk shot glasses came in mind! These can be filled with all kinds of stuff and are fun for the entire family! My kids (and a few neighbor kids) went crazy over these! Milk and Cookie Shots 1 box Krusteaz …

Mother’s Day Favorites

Mother’s Day is coming up and I couldn’t help but compile a few of my favorite things or actually my favorite things that remind me of my mom. There are two things that will always remind me of my mom. Her love for cooking and her love for writing letters and notes to others. So I started browsing the amazing Mother’s Day lookbook that Minted.com put together found so many that I loved for myself and then the perfect one for my mom caught my eye! Her entire house is black and white with little touches of gold. She is …

Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies

by madeitateitlovediton March 25, 2016March 25, 20163 Comments

Last year I went to a fun cookie decorating class at Petite Party Studio and learned a few tricks with making sugar cookies and decorating them. Ever since then I have been hooked on decorating cookies. Unfortunately it is one of those things that I like to do when my kids aren’t around. Most of my cooking I do with music going and my kids running wild around me. Decorating sugar cookies I like to do in the quiet with no kids running wild around me. Maybe its a little therapeutic for me. Either way I love it! These bunny …

I feel like St. Patricks Day is one of the funnest holidays to celebrate with my kids! My boys love food dyed green and of course my daughter loves everything rainbow! For the past few years I have celebrated the night of St. Patricks Day with a fun Breakfast for Dinner with green waffles, green eggs, green bacon, and then a fruit rainbow and each place setting gets a rainbow cupcake, sugar cookie, and other fun things! I always try to just enjoy the moment with my children instead of taking pictures of everything. So the quality of pictures isn’t …

White Chocolate Reese’s Cookies

by madeitateitlovediton January 12, 2016January 12, 2016Leave a Comment

My husband always gets excited when he sees me in the kitchen making cookies. Then after they are done he always says “what happened to just making normal chocolate chip cookies” haha I obviously have a problem with making just normal cookies. Maybe it is because I am not a huge milk chocolate person. White chocolate on the other hand is right up my alley. Throw in some peanut butter and you have yourself one delicious cookie! White Chocolate Reese’s Cookies 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 …

Back to school is a glorious time of year! I love having my kids back on their schedules and I love being able to get more done during the day instead of having to drag all my children on errands during the day to try to accomplish everything that i need to get done. My little boy Remington started kindergarten this year and my oldest is in 2nd grade. My husband and I walked our boys to school for the first day they were excited and nervous. Then my husband headed to work and I took my little girl and …
