This easy Shirley Temple Cake with Grenadine Glaze is an impressive, delicious dessert that is really simple to I searched a few recipes on pinterest but could not find exactly what I was looking for, so I bought a few ingredients and made this delicious cake that turned out amazing the first time!!My kids had never had a Shirley Temple, which is essentially, 7UP, grenadine, and maraschino cherries. My husband introduced me to this non-alcoholic drink years ago, and it’s really a delicious treat!So my kids’ worlds were rocked when I made this Shirley Temple Cake, but also when I let them have a Shirley Temple drink! They all said it was delicious!I found that some recipes on the internet said to poke the cake before pouring on any icing or glaze or the maraschino cherry juice, and maybe that would have been good, as well, but when the glaze collects at the bottom, you just scoop it up and drizzle on your cake if you prefer!

Either way, you will love this recipe for Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars! Rice Krispie treats and no bake peanut butter cereal balls were some of my favorites growing up. In case you didn’t know…chopping Reese’s peanut butter cups is pretty exhilarating They’re dense and delicious, so it feels like an actual dessert and not just a rice krispie treat snack.

Here is what is allowed:standard monolingual dictionaries in English or the language most appropriate for the studentEnglish as a second language (ESL) dictionaries* (define English word using simplified English)A school must make sure dictionaries are available, Having dictionaries at home is great for preparation for the STAAR tests and other tests, but it is also a great way to enrich their reading and writing, which goes beyond school and testing. Make it a fun family activity, (but do stop when it feels more like school and less like fun.)Here are my top tips for how to help your child prepare for the STAAR test at home: – pencils, erasers, paper – teachers will usually have this available, but check with them beforehand if possible!Make sure they feel confident – dictionary practice, practice tests, and the preparations their teachers provide can help!

6 inch chocolate bunny mold (for our large bunnies): you can make 2 bunnies per mold so if you’d like to make more than 2 at once, you can buy 2-3 molds For our chocolate bunnies, we used the Nestle Simply Delicious semi-sweet chocolate chips and the Great Value brand allergy friendly white chocolate chips. If you’d like to make sugar free chocolate bunnies, check out the Bake Believe sugar free semi sweet chocolate chips that don’t have dairy in them (our local Walmart carries them). If you make white chocolate bunnies, I’d use the Great Value allergy friendly white chocolate chips rather than the Nestle Simply Delicious white chocolate since the Great Value white chocolate is much more crisp/firm and comes out of the mold well (

This Sparkling Strawberry Mocktail is a great drink for any spring occasion, and would even be perfect for bridal showers or baby showers! We used the IKEA rhubarb drink concentrate (dryck rabarber) for this recipe, but it’s not available online at all unless you’re willing to spend $17.50 a bottle which is ridiculous since it’s sold in IKEA stores for only $4.99. If you don’t have access to an IKEA to buy this pretty bomb rhubarb drink concentrate, then you can try a few other options. Please note that we haven’t actually tried any of these products or recipes, and you might have to use a different ratio of syrup to sparkling water depending on the brand or recipe you’re using.

So when I had four old bananas that I needed to use, but didn’t want to make the traditional banana muffin, I made Nutella Banana Muffins instead! For instance, I used coconut sugar for half of the sugar, but you can absolutely use regular sugar for the whole recipe or brown sugar or…whatever sugar that you have and love to use as long as it is cup for cup. I love that the Nutella on top makes it almost feel like a decadent cupcake, but you don’t have to mess with icing. My younger two, who I mentioned love Nutella bananas were a little upset that I cut them off at two of these!

One way to get rid of or reduce the sugar crystals is to add a bit of corn syrup (regular corn syrup is not the same as high fructose corn syrup). If you have sugar crystals in the bottom of your bottle when you’re done with the syrup, just fill the jar with really hot water and let it soak to help dissolve and break up the sugar crystals so you can clean the jar. Our recipe has fewer and smaller sugar crystals than the recipes I used to use, but the longer the syrup sits, the more crystals will form (in general). If you have a bunch of sugar crystals or very big ones, heat some water to boiling and pour it into your jar or bottle (make sure it’s a heat-proof glass jar or bottle) and let that soak for a while to loosen the sugar crystals.

15 Minute Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce is a delicious family recipe that the family will love! You may think that peanut butter and soy sauce or coconut aminos don’t belong together, but I’m here to tell you that THEY DO! I prefer the recipe with coconut aminos because I don’t tolerate soy well, and I do think that coconut aminos has a delicious flavor. What other food items could you add to or pair with this 15 minute noodles with spicy peanut sauce recipe?
