Last week, @funmoneymom shared the cutest puppy cupcakes on her page, and I couldn't resist gathering some candy and my grandson to put our own spin on them! 🧁🐶 We had so much fun decorating these little pups—and yes, I paid him for his hard work! 😉 Here’s how we made them:1. Start by spreading a layer of buttercream over the top of each cupcake.2. Add a small dollop of buttercream toward the lower half of the cupcake—this will be the puppy’s snout.3. For the nose, press a round dark chocolate candy, like Brookside Dark Chocolate, into the center of the snout. You can also use M&M’s, raisins, or anything similar.4. Place two candy eyeballs just above the snout for the eyes. If you don’t have candy eyeballs, chocolate chips or mini M&M’s work great too.5. To create a tongue, flatten a Starburst candy and trim it to size, or use Airhead candies since they’re already thin and long.6. For the ears, cut Reese’s Thins in half and place each half on either side of the cupcake. Oreo cookies cut in half also make adorable ears.7. Get creative and have fun—your kids will love making their own puppy designs too!Thanks to @funmoneymom for the adorable inspiration! 🐾

Celebrating 59 years of love and adventure! 🥂 I had the absolute joy of taking my parents to Victoria, B.C., to mark their anniversary in style. We started our journey with a timeless high tea at the beautiful Pendray Mansion, where it felt like we stepped back in time. 🌸We spent a day exploring the stunning Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly Gardens—both were breathtaking and filled with so much natural beauty. 🦋We enjoyed some incredible meals at Victoria’s finest restaurants. But the true highlight was dinner at Stage Wine Bar, where the chef crafted an incredible menu using fresh, local ingredients. If you ever find yourself in Victoria, don’t miss out on this phenomenal dining experience! 🍽️
These fudgy chocolate coconut cookies are so easy to make! We used the recipe on the back of the Guittard chocolate wafer package, but any chocolate works. You will be tempted to bake them longer than the recipe indicates but don’t do it. They'll look underbaked, but after they sit out for a few minutes, the cocoa butter firms up for the fudgiest cookies ever!Grab the recipe in the comments and, no, it's not a typo—there's no flour or butter in this recipe.=====coconut chocolate fudge cookiesAdapted from the Guittard chocolate baking wafer package. Makes 3 dozen12 ounces semi sweet chocolate wafers (we used Guittard baking wafers)¼ cup milk1 cup quick cooking oats1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened ½ teaspoon baking powder¼ teaspoon salt½ cup granulated sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the chocolate and milk in a small saucepan and melt over low heat stirring frequently. Alternatively, zap it in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.In a small bowl, combine the oats, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Beat on medium high until creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and beat until well blended. Gradually add the coconut and oat mixture. Set the mixture aside for 15 to 20 minutes until it thickens up enough to scoop. You can stick it in the fridge for a few minutes to speed things up. Use a 1-tablespoon size scoop to measure rounded spoonfuls of dough. Place the balls of dough on the baking sheet, spacing them 1-½ inches apart. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. The cookies will look under baked but they will firm up after they cool for 10 minutes and they will be fudgy inside. If you cook them too long they won’t have a fudgy texture.

Join us for a special taste test with my parents, who have been sweethearts for almost 60 years! They sat down to decide which Libby's pumpkin pie recipe reigns supreme. But as the pies go head-to-head, something even sweeter unfolds. Amidst their taste-testing, my parents slip into a charming bickering session that only years of love and companionship can bring. It's a delightful mix of culinary critique and the adorable quirks of a long-lasting relationship. Don’t miss their verdict on the pies and a glimpse into the recipe for a lasting, loving partnership.
