We’re in the second half of the year, and while summer is winding down, it’s not too late to start making small, healthy changes to your favorite meals and snacks. I’ll be the first to admit—I love a good slice of cake, a sweet treat, or something fried and crispy. But sometimes, a simple tweakContinue reading “Healthier TREAT$ 2025”

Burger Bowl
Confession: I’m not really a salad girl. But on my journey to eat healthier, I decided to give a lettuce wrap burger a try. One bite in—it completely fell apart. So there I was, eating it with a fork, and honestly? It was amazing. That moment sparked an idea: instead of fighting with a lettuceContinue reading “Burger Bowl”

Whether you’re grilling outside or keeping things easy indoors with your crockpot, there’s nothing like gathering with friends, sharing good food, and making the most of those long, sunny days. From smoky meats to comforting sides,Continue reading “Cookout Season 2025”
Rocky Road Cookies
Rocky Road cookies, coming right up! This flavor was requested by one of our TREAT$ Voucher recipients, and we couldn’t resist making it happen. Funny enough, we’ve never actually tried Rocky Road ice cream before – so a little research was in order! This cookie was a last-minute addition to their custom meal, but we’reContinue reading “Rocky Road Cookies”
Pistachio Cookies
The first pistachio-flavored dessert I ever tried was a pistachio pound cake my stepmom made, and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. Over the years, she’s also baked a pistachio honey bun cake that’s equally delicious. While she’s known for her incredible cakes, my baking specialty is cookies. With St. Patrick’s Day around theContinue reading “Pistachio Cookies”
Kitchen Trash Mix
Every Christmas, my aunt-in-law makes a chex mix dessert called White Trash. It’s a mix of Rice Chex, M&Ms, and pretzels coated in white chocolate. Unfortunately, after Christmas, I wasn’t feeling well, so I wasn’t in the mood to make a big dessert or sides for our last holiday gathering. I took a look aroundContinue reading “Kitchen Trash Mix”
Oreo Muddy Buddy
Last year, those who received our Christmas TREAT$ got to enjoy our Oreo Muddy Buddy, which we affectionately called Snoopy Kibble. This simple and sweet Chex mix is packed with cookies and cream flavor in every bite. Feel free to use any Chex mix you prefer, and you can even switch it up with differentContinue reading “Oreo Muddy Buddy”
No Sweet Surprises This Year!
For the third year of TREAT$, we took some time to review the feedback from both the 2023 and 2024 surveys and carefully considered how to move forward. After much thought, we’ve decided there will be no TREAT$ box this year. Instead, we’re excited to try something new that will allow us to explore differentContinue reading “No Sweet Surprises This Year!”

Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
I’ve never been a huge strawberry fan, but these cookies have completely changed my mind! These soft strawberry cookies are filled with a homemade strawberry cheesecake filling, and the base cookie comes from Beth’s First Year Blog’s Cake Mix Cookie recipe. I use my own homemade strawberry preserves, but store-bought works perfectly too! The firstContinue reading “Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies”
