BruCrew Top Ten

Happy Friday! Today I am in the hot and steamy state of Texas having a blast at the BlogHer conference. So far we have had cupcakes from a food trailer, eaten some Mexican, and then hobnobbed with Ree from Pioneer Woman and Amanda from Kevin and Amanda. That totally means we are BFF's now, right? Ok, so maybe I was totally geeked out by both, but it was so fun to meet them and see how real and friendly and downright amazing they are. I can't wait to see what the rest of the weekend is like. I will be posting pics on instagram throughout the weekend if you want to follow along.

Let's get to the Top Ten this week. [Read more...]

These 25 Easy Brownie Recipes from a Box are a great resource to have on hand when you need the perfect brownie dessert.

There is something so satisfying about eating a big chocolate brownie. My kids adore a pan of warm brownies for dessert. They just don't like when I jazz them up. Those crazy kids prefer plain brownies every single time.

Glass jars filled with a cookie crust and a creamy peach filling.

As we head into summer, I am always looking for great no bake recipes that do not take a lot of time to prepare. The windows in our house do not really get any good airflow.

So when it is over 85 degrees in my kitchen, I do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen during the day. Although my air conditioner gets plenty of work during the summer months because I can't stay away from baking for too long.

BruCrew Top Ten

I have never been more ready for the weekend. Ok, that's not true. I can think of a few other crazy weeks that made me thankful for weekends. It just seems that when you leave for vacation, you are that much more ready.

School is now out, for the elementary that is! I can officially call it Summer break now. We now have a 4th and 6th grader, and after this afternoon a 9th grader. Oh my word!!!! I have a high schooler! That seriously can't be possible. Where did that chubby cheeked little boy who carried around the dinosaur and the dragon by the neck go?????? I may need sugar to comfort me! Good thing I have a mountain of butter cream in my kitchen!

Ok, I told you I was changing up how I do my Behind BruCrew posts. Basically I am just adding some fun finds to my instagram posts. I noticed that last time I shared 10 things. And when I put together my list for today, I had about 10 things...so it seemed like the right thing to do by calling it the Top Ten. Now to get a cute logo for each post. Some weeks may be more fun finds, some weeks maybe more family stuff. I guess you will have to just keep coming back to see what I post.

1. This week I celebrated 15 years of wedded bliss with this hot guy! I still can't get over how little we look here. He is my best friend and totally puts up with all my crazies, and yet he still loves me more each day. We are blessed to have such a devoted husband and father.

Cherry Lime Cupcakes

These Cherry Lime Cupcakes are a great summer flavor for any party you may be hosting this year.

After years of baking cakes, I have officially come to the conclusion that I like making cupcakes so much more. They bake faster, they are faster to frost (because you don't have to smooth it out), and it is easy to make them look cute.

Now I may just be slightly against cake right now because starting tomorrow I need to start baking a bazillion cakes. Ok, ok, it is only 12 layers, but it's going to feel like so much more by the time I get to that 12th cake. Not to mention how many batches of butter cream I am going to be making.

Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Brownie Pie

Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Brownie Pie: layers of fudgy brownie, peanut butter cheesecake, and whipped topping makes this gooey pie the best dessert.

The past few weeks I have been learning the value to saying no. I usually just can't say no when I am asked to do different projects.

You need 10 matching headbands for a wedding party this coming weekend. Sure I will get right on that. 200 cupcakes for a party you are having. Sure, why not.

Ok, ok, those might be slightly embellished examples, but you get the point right? I don't like to turn down requests for things that I know I can do. [Read more...]

Reese's Brownie Whoopie Pies

I love to make cake mix cookies like these Butterfinger Whoopie Pies. So, I decided to sub in a brownie mix and see what would happen. [Read more...]

Coconut Fudge Poke Cake

This easy Coconut Fudge Poke Cake is sure to be a summer favorite with your family. This delicious cake is topped with Cool Whip and hot fudge after being covered in cream of coconut. It is the perfect cold dessert after a hard day of work (or a day at the pool).

Hot fudge and three times the coconut makes this cake disappear every time I make it!

So the other day, I was driving home from picking my kids up from school. We were stopped at a red light, and I wasn't paying attention to the light. Apparently the lady behind me didn't like that I didn't move the nanosecond the light turned green. She started honking at me to go. I looked in my rear view mirror to see what all the commotion was about. There she was with her hands up in the air as if to say, "Come on already!" So, I did what any normal person would do...I let off my brake very, very, VERY slowly. She didn't like that at all, and she whipped around me as soon as she could. What? I was going.

My son was in the front seat and thought this was hilarious. It probably was not my best teaching moment seeing as he will be driving in 2 years. But sheesh, don't honk at me the second the light turns green. We were telling my husband this story later and laughing at what a hurry she was in. (yes, I realize she could have been heading to an emergency, so my action wasn't the most Christian)

My comment was, "She doesn't know me and probably will never see me again." My husband got this funny look and reminded me that we are probably the only black van in our town with a Dunkin Donuts magnet on the back. Hhhhmmm he's right. She just might see me again. Well, as long as she doesn't honk at me to go, we should be fine.

Coconut Nutella Latte

This Coconut Nutella Latte is the perfect coffee drink to enjoy when you have time to sit and relax. It also is a great travel coffee when you put it in a to go cup for the drive to work.

I know that most of you are enjoying warm summer like days already. But I have been seeing some of my blog friends share pictures of snow on the ground still, so hot coffee is still welcome.

It is definitely warming up here. Yesterday was in the 80's, and it was quite warm in the sun watching our son's first baseball game. But the mornings are still cool enough to enjoy a warm cup of coffee or a warm cup of this Coconut Nutella Latte.

If you came over for coffee or a latte, I would make you some Banana Muffins, and we could sit and chat. Something that I might share with you is that I recently found out my baby boy likes a girl.

Now I realize he is going to be 14 and liking a girl isn't something new. But man, I'm not ready for the whole girl thing.

I mean I should have realized it was coming. He cares about his hair and has been "borrowing" the Axe body spray. He's still my baby in my eyes, and I'm not ready for the whole dating thing.

We were driving to his dentist appointment the other day, and I was casually questioning him. You know the easy, simple questions that we as parents do to see what kind of a reaction you get out of them.

I asked how the boys in his class were behaving. Then I asked how the girls were. He got that that silly little grin, and I knew what that meant.

I pulled out of him that she's an older girl, and she has dark blonde hair, but those are the only details he gave up. I had to get her name from one of his friends.

At least he is still too young to date. I have a few more years before I have to worry about that. All these kids liking kids has me needing a stronger drink! Are you ready for your second cup of coffee? Let me make you another latte.

How to make a Coconut Nutella Latte

This coffee is seriously so easy to make. You start by making a strong pot of coffee. Then place the milk and Nutella in a saucepan and heat it until warm. Pour the warm milk into a blender or use an Aerolatte.

I know I have heard of blenders exploding because of the heat inside. I leave the pour spout open until the very last second, so the heat doesn't build up in the glass.

Then blend the milk for 1-2 minutes to get a good foam. Pour that in your mug and pour the hot coffee carefully on the side.

Top with some Cool Whip and sprinkles because that always makes your hot drinks more fun.

What would you share with me during our coffee chat?
