Make these mini reindeer cupcakes for Christmas

I ran into these mini reindeer cupcakes the other day, and I totally fell in love. Not only were they adorable, the combo of sweet and salty was delicious. You should totally make these mini reindeer cupcakes for Christmas, or to bring to your next holiday party! Here’s how…

Slay this dragon… with your mouth

In the next chapter of “Megan is obsessed with dragons,” we have the dragon cake pan! As one of my friends put it, “This year’s batch of rum cakes will be especially epic.”

Healthier-than-normal, no-bake, peanut butter banana cookie recipe

I love baking, especially when it’s sweets. But the only thing better than baking a fresh batch of cookies, is not baking, and still getting a delicious batch of cookies. This is a lightened-up version of my grandmother’s no-bake cookie recipe.

Megan-simple, no-bake cheesecake that’ll make you say “oh my!”

If you can’t stand the heat, make these no-bake low-sugar mini cheesecakes

I, like our own Megan, don’t have mad cooking skills. Plus, I have a bunch of annoying dietary restrictions, making it even more challenging when I want to whip up something non-frozen. So this no-bake, low-sugar anytime treat is actually a pretty bad-ass solution for those two problems: easy, super nom-worthy, and fits my needs. Maybe it fits yours, too?
