Have you seen the crazy new wrapping hack food trend that is going crazy all over the Internet? I watched a few Instagram reels the other day, and now I can't stop watching all the delicious ideas that are popping up.

If you have spent any time at all on social media, I'm sure you have seen a few (or a hundred) different folded tortilla wraps.

Trust me! People are wrapping all the things, all day long. Sweet and savory...there is no limit to what you can put inside a tortilla.

I was inspired to make this BLT version and this Pulled Pork Macaroni and Cheese Tortilla Wrap Hack for lunch this week. And I can't wait to make more!

Nothing says "I love you" to my family more than a hot breakfast. Most of the time I make a big batch of blueberry pancakes, banana waffles, and loaded egg burritos and keep them in the freezer, so they can heat up a quick breakfast before school.

On the weekends I love making delicious little treats before the kiddos wake up. These crescent rolls with Nutella were one of the fun creations I surprised them with.

Why You Will Love These

These buttery and soft crescent rolls have a creamy cheesecake filling and a gooey pocket of Nutella spread hidden inside.

They are so easy to make with just a few ingredients, but they look like you spent hours in the kitchen. Adding the white chocolate drizzle just adds that extra little touch.

The best part is that these chocolate rolls can be ready to be devoured in under 30 minutes. They are the perfect treat for Nutella lovers.

Take 5 Bars

These homemade Take 5 Bars have layers of sweet and salty goodness. Adding peanuts, caramel, and chocolate-covered pretzels to a peanut butter blonde brownie recipe is a very delicious idea.

My favorite type of dessert is one loaded with sweet and salty flavors. There is something about that combo that just gets me every single time. And now I'm craving salted caramel brownie bites...

I think my love for sweet and salty is why I love the Reese's Take 5 candy bars. They have the sweet goodness of milk chocolate and caramel with salty nuts and pretzels in every bite.

One of the desserts that I make for group events or bake sales is these M&M blonde brownies. Not only are they extremely easy to make, but everyone loves them.

Over the years, I have given the blondie dessert different looks and tastes with various ingredients. One of my top favorites is marshmallow Reese's blonde brownies.

This time, I decided to make a batch of Take 5 cookie bars using the peanut butter blonde brownies as the base.

Cheesy Chicken Soup Recipe

Make a pot of this Cheesy Chicken Soup for dinner tonight in under 40 minutes. This easy soup recipe is loaded with noodles, chicken, and veggies. It is the perfect comfort food meal for a cold, winter night.

This week we have been busy with a room redo project, so I have been pretty distracted cleaning and organizing. So, making dinner has been the last thing on my mind.

This chicken soup was one of those last minute, "Oh, yeah. The family needs to eat real food, so I should probably make something." Normally, this White Chicken Chili is one of my go to's when I need a quick dinner, but I didn't have all the ingredients for it this time.

So, I quickly grabbed a few things from our cupboards and fridge and threw it all in one big pot. Voilà! Cheesy chicken goodness in no time at all.

Our kiddos devoured the soup and a loaf of this Easy Garlic Herb Bread no time at all, so I knew I had to make it again. Luckily, for me and you, I wrote all the ingredients down as I threw them in the pot, so it was easy to make it again for dinner (and pictures)

Everyone should have an easy no bake dessert that is easy to make when you need a sweet treat. Some days just call for bowls of Edible Cookie Dough. Other days call for peanut butter cups straight from the bag.

Trust me and share these cookie dough truffles with a friend because they are very dangerous to be around. I may have eaten more than I should have...

Low Carb Cherry Jello Parfaits

Say hello to your new favorite healthy dessert. These little Low Carb Cherry Jello Parfaits are easy to make and are low in calories. Perfect little snack to curb those sugar cravings and desires.

I realized that it seems like lately all I have been sharing is healthy food. I promise this isn't becoming a diet site where all I talk about is working out and our healthy eating. Although, some of you may feel that way...

The way we started eating a year and a half ago is NOT a diet, but it has been a lifestyle change for everyone in our family. Since that is what we have been eating and making, I have been sharing these foods and why we are eating them here on the blog.

Please tell me there are others of you that are happy about the healthier options I have been posting.

Trust me, I still have a sweet tooth the size of Texas that no amount of healthy eating has been able to change. So, there are lots of decadent desserts I still need to share with you!

Vanilla Pineapple Smoothie

This Vanilla Pineapple Smoothie has a light, refreshing tropical taste with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Easy and delicious protein shake to enjoy for breakfast or lunch!

Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring. We like to change up our protein smoothies with different fruits each week to keep them refreshing and nutritious.

Today's the day! We are hitting it hard in the gym again this morning. Well, not too hard because I still want to be able to walk tomorrow.

And we are taking a few weeks to reset our bodies by eating healthy lean and green meals. That means no processed sugar. I'm a little bit skeered because my sweet tooth is the size of Texas...no, probably Europe. It's big people.

Not eating extra sugar has me worried. Mostly because the food I enjoy making the most happens to be pretty sugar laden. Hello, crazy dessert baker here!

Turkey Club Pinwheels

These little Turkey Club Pinwheels are layered with meat, cheese, and veggies. Such an easy appetizer recipe to make for lunch, dinner, or game days.

We love keeping different kinds of deli meat, veggies, and tortillas in our fridge, so anyone can make a quick roll up if they are hungry. It's an easy thing to put together for a quick grab and go lunch when the kids are running out the door in a hurry.

These are also an easy appetizer to make for game days. During the winter months, we like to make "snack suppers" and play cards or board games as a family.

These turkey roll ups and these Blackberry Brie Bites are two of my favorites to munch on, while our kids love these Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza Bites.
