I shared this Pina Colada pie recipe over at Miss Information a few weeks ago. If you haven’t checked out Kelley’s blog you should make your way over; it’s full of great recipes and crafts. I’m tired, head achy and slightly grumpy this week. Perfect time for a repost, if you ask me
This is really easy to make. And what’s not to love about a cream cheese & pineapple filling sitting in a coconut pie crust. Can you say YUM!?
Ingredients:
For the crust:
3 cups shredded coconut
1/3 cup melted butter
Hello & Welcome to the very first Whatcha’ Whipped Up Wednesdays!
I’ve been debating starting a link party for quite some time now.
I finally bit the bullet and decided to go for it.
I’m so excited to see all the sweet & savory treats you’ve whipped up this week.
I’m sure you all know the drill but here are a few rules:
I’ve done quite a few cupcake orders over the past few weeks and I’ve had a lot of fun creating all of them.
For all of these orders, I was given quite a bit of creative freedom. I was pretty much just given a theme to work with & only 2 asked for specific flavors. For the most part, I love these kind of projects. I get to showcase my talents and put a bit of “me” into the project. I can’t tell you how often a design element turns out to be a bust. The creative freedom allows me to pull plan B out of my butt real quick like and no one has to know about the failed idea.
I’ve been pretty busy this week making cupcakes for birthday parties & I just realized that I hadn’t posted these fun Captain America themed cupcakes.
These were for a six year old’s birthday party at school. A few days before the party I saw these Jello Cupcakes that Joan from Chocolate Chocolate and More and I knew they would be perfect for a bunch of kids. To fit the Captain America theme I used cherry Jello. What kid doesn’t like cherry flavored Jello?

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week. Let’s get a great big WHOOP WHOOP for all the hard working teachers out there!
When I was a kid I thought teaching would be the most glorious job in the world.You work 9 months and got the entire summer off. What more could you ask for?
Then I learned these things:
Teachers arrive at school before the kids arrive & leave after they have gone home.
Teachers do home work too.
Teachers have to deal with large numbers of kids & their parents daily & not they are not always well behaved, parents included.
This post is a bit different from my usual sugary sweet posts. I’m joining the the Crazy Cooking Challenge hosted by Mom’s Crazy Cooking.
I love to cook, almost just as much as I love to bake, so I figured I’d mix it up a bit.
This month’s challenge was a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The only requirements were that the sandwich contain bread and cheese & that the recipe came from another blog. You have no idea how many Grilled Cheese recipes I drooled over before made a decision. WOW the grilled cheese sure has evolved. When I was kid the only variation was adding a few strips of bacon.
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
A friend sent me a link to these Sombrero Cookies from Disney Family Fun yesterday afternoon & they were just so cute that I had to make some for Cinco de Mayo. I have been dying for a reason to try out the Vanilla Variation of Lila Loa‘s End All Chocolate Cookie since Georganne posted it last month & this seemed as good a time as ever. I’m glad that I did; I was not disappointed. These cookies are tasty, hold their shape very well and are so easy to work with. I am officially retiring my other sugar cookie recipe.
