    Coconut Popsicles recipe

    /

    This coconut popsicles recipe is really easy, because you just need a few ingredients and they are delicious, refreshing and so creamy! So good this is the third time I make them in a month. This pregnancy has keep me craving for ice treats, specially the refreshing ones not so much the super sweet ones. This coconut popsicles are perfect because they are not on the super sweet side. If you would like them sweeter just add more sugar just be aware that when the popsicles will freeze will loose a little bit of the sweetness. Make the mix a little bit more sweet than you would like the popsicles to…

    Lemon cookies Recipe

    /

    This lemon cookies recipe is full of flavor, refreshing and simply delicious. Crips lemon shortbread cookies covered and topped with lemon icing and peanuts.  When I was a little girl, on the first level of the building where we lived there was a bakery. I used to collected all the pennies under the sofas to buy these delicious cookies from the bakery. I tried to look everywhere for the recipe (well, to be honest, I google it ) and I could not find it. The closest one I could find was a Martha Stewart lemon pistachio wreaths.   After some tries, I think I finally got something similar, at least…

    Pecan Snowball cookies recipe

    /

    This is the classic Pecan Snowball cookies recipe. I really don´t know the origin from the snowball cookies but I do know EVERYONE loves them. Whether they called them Mexican wedding cookie, Russian tea cake or butterballs, they are basically the same yummy buttery cookie. Although you will find variations that some use almonds or walnuts instead of pecans.   This cookies are easy to make because you just need a few ingredients and the directions are quite simple: mix everything and scoop them on a cooking sheet. It´s a great recipe to make with kids during the holidays. Plus the smell of butter and pecans in your house it´s a…

    Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Printable

    /

    Two years ago believe it or not was the first time I watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, I fell in love and thought that it could be a nice tradition to watch it every year for thanksgiving. Thanksgiving we usually celebrate it at home, we cook together some yummy food like this Pumpkin Mousse Pie with Pecan crust and of course turkey.   Last year we added Charlie Brown to our celebration. We had coloring pages and watched the movie while snuggling in the couch eating popcorn, pretzels and jelly beans 🙂 We made pilgrim hats and I design some bottle wrappers and straw flags for the drinks.     Download here…
