Disney Inspired Apples – Tips and Tricks (she: Adelle)

Hey Everyone, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. We love all things Disney, and let’s face it, candied apples are one of the best things about fall. So, we combined two of our greatest loves and have put together four different types of Disney inspired apples.
Some tricks for making your own apples – freeze your apples the night before dipping them in caramel. Then, be sure to refrigerate your apples for as long as possible before dipping in chocolate. Again, we recommend overnight if possible.

Now, onto the Disney-fication of your caramel apples!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies ~ Scrumptious!!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies ~ Scrumptious!!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies! I’m a big fan of pumpkin desserts… pumpkin cookies, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin breads, you name it. For today’s post, I wanted to combine the best of all of them (the cookies, the cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate!) Who wants some?!? The cookie recipe is from my favorite pumpkin cookies (with buttercream frosting) that I’ve shared before… so, it’s fun to have two different things that you can do with the same recipe.

There’s something else pretty special about this post. It’s the 10th of the month and 10 of us bloggers ALL decided to share a new ‘pumpkin’ idea. So, besides my cookies, be sure to check out the other great pumpkin ideas!

Toffee Coffee Cake

Toffee Coffee Cake

I’m a cake girl. Donuts, candy, cookies… I could take or leave. But, cake?? I’m all over it. Banana Cake, Strawberry Cake, Chocolate Cake and Toffee Coffee Cake, baby. This is a simple cake, that’s great served warm with ice cream, or room temp, with a dollop of whipped cream. Have you ever looked up the definition for ‘dollop’? Get this: “a shapeless mass or blob of something.” That kinda sound gross. Definitely does not do justice for the heaven that is whipped cream.

So, this Toffee Coffee Cake recipe comes from Hershey’s. I knew I needed it in my life, the minute I saw it was filled with pieces of Heath Bar. Oh, and then there’s the fact that it’s cake.

Let’s get to it…

Whatchamacallit Chewy Cereal Bars

Whatchamacallit Cereal Bars ~ Knock-Off

Dudes. We’re in trouble. These babies are addicting. My kids came home from cooking class with plates full of these. After taking just one bite, we headed straight to the neighbors to give away an entire plate. The last thing I needed was to scarf 3 plates of Whatchamacallit Cereal Bars, 2 was enough. So, I think most of us have tried peanut butter bars, as well as caramel bars… Whatchamacallit combines the two, and you have to try them!

I have a special place in my heart for the actual Whatchamacallit candy bars. When I was little, my family went to Hershey World. While touring the factory, an employee pulled me and a few siblings aside and asked if we would be part of a special experiment…

Cherry Pie Ice Box Cake (she: Gina)

Hello my OSSS friends! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Can you believe it’s nearing September?! Seems like we just started summer & now we are talking fall. Well anyhow, I’m back today to share this simple & quick dessert that will become a new favorite. This time of year schedules are fuller than ever & I don’t think anyone has time to spend all day in the kitchen making treats. I’m sure you have noticed by now- I like desserts that whip up fast & yet still bring all the ooohhs & aahhhhs from everyone. This Cherry Pie Ice Box Cake certainly does just that.

Black Raspberry Smoothie (she: Zainab)

Hello OSSS readers, this is Zainab from Blahnik Baker stopping in with another recipe today! I hope you all had a great summer. I can’t believe we are saying that already meaning summer is winding down. I’m sure most of you already have kids that are back in school and the new school year schedule is just starting to kick in. Or they are about to start next week after Labor Day weekend. Unbelievable how this particular summer flew by. I hope you got to do everything on your summer bucket list!!
I’m trying to get used to the new rhythm of school too as I start my last year of graduate school. It’s called fast-paced life and now more than ever I am in dire need of quick, nutritious and energy boosting breakfasts to keep up with my demanding days. I am sure most of you can relate to this. That’s why I always love reaching for smoothies. They are one of my favorite ways to get more fruits in my diet but with so many add-in possibilities, I can increase the nutritious value beyond just fresh fruits.
This black raspberry smoothie has a secret ingredient high in protein but low in fat. Can you guess what it is??

Easy Caramel Croissant Bread Pudding (she: Samantha)

Hi there, Or So She Says readers! It’s Samantha from Five Heart Home, and I’m excited to be back today sharing a doozy of a dessert!

Croissants, meet caramel. That’s right, folks…as if flaky, buttery croissants weren’t already decadent enough, today’s recipe drowns them in a custard of homemade caramel sauce and bakes the whole concoction into luscious bread pudding goodness.
As an added bonus, the caramel sauce is homemade yet takes less than five minutes to whip up! Sound too good to be true? It’s not…the recipe is actually deceptively easy to make. But nobody will ever guess that when they taste it.

Fresh Peach Homemade Ice Cream (she: Jana)

I LOVE living in Colorado!! Especially during harvest seasons. We have famous Olathe sweet corn, Rocky Ford Canteloupe, and my favorite….Palisade peaches! And it’s peach season right now in Colorado. I love a nice, big, juicy fresh peach better than just about anything.

Growing up when my parents would buy boxes of peaches to can, we would live on peaches and cream for breakfast until the peaches were all gone & canned. We’d cut up some peaches, pour a little milk or cream on top and sprinkle a little sugar. So divine! I always wished the peaches lasted longer!
If you’ve ever had peaches and cream for breakfast and loved it as much as I did, you’ll fall in love with this ice cream. It is “wish I had 5 gallons of it” good! And so easy…and a perfect summer time treat for the kids…and adults too…and did I mention delicious?

Blackberry Banana Ice Cream … a Dairy-Free Summer Treat! (she: Gina)

Happy August friends! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. I’m back today to share a simple & tasty treat that my kids are absolutely LOVING. The heat is on & so we are finding all sorts of new ways too cool down & give the poor air conditioner a little break. This Blackberry Banana Ice Cream is definitely something that is gone just as fast as I can make it. But with it being just 3 simple ingredients & 100% dairy free – you can enjoy it any time of day with zero guilt.

Easy Crepes… whip them up in no time! (she: Maria)

Hello Everyone! This is Maria from Shopgirl coming over to share another recipe with you today! Crepes are one of my absolute favorite things to eat, both sweet and savory ones, so I’m super excited to share this recipe with you today! It takes a little bit of practice to learn how to make the perfect crepe (and the first one or two of every batch I make are never perfect!), but it’s a cooking skill well worth learning because they are so good, and so quick to whip up! All you need are a couple of ingredients whisked together, and a couple minutes to make the crepes! You can serve them sweet for a big breakfast or dessert, with some berries, ice-cream and whipped creme or with Nutella and bananas (one of my favorites!), or savory with a whole variety of fillings…. some of my favorites being spinach or mushroom
