Caramelized Chex Mix
This is one of my husband’s favorites that I stumbled upon one Christmas, trying to find something new to bring to all of the gatherings. It is really good and very simple to make. It is a big batch, but it lasts really well in an airtight container – or you could just plan on using it for more than one event in a week : ) Anyway, we love it, so I thought I would pass it along.

This is a quick recipe. It is delicious and fun for the whole family. The kids love to help prepare this. It is great for holiday brunches (like Easter and Christmas).

Rhubarb Slush – The Perfect Summer Refreshment
If you are looking for a sweet, refreshing, ice-cold beverage, look no further. Rhubarb slush is a great treat for the entire family, and it only takes a few simple ingredients to make it. If you use frozen rhubarb, it can even be made year-round. I once used this recipe for my son’s graduation party, and it was definitely a big hit!
Pizza Bars
My family loves pizza. No pizza night is complete without a dessert pizza. These are pizza bars. They are great at any occasion or for any get-together. We like to use them at Christmas time. You can also customize them easily for any occasion by using the different varieties of M&Ms.
Taco Bake
Taco Bake came about from a desire to eat tacos but in a different way. This recipe turned out to be delicious. Again, the kids loved it and didn’t mind eating the veggies that they would typically be pulling out of their tacos.
