Brussels Sprouts Cake Pops for April Fools Day


My son and I really enjoy pulling April Fools pranks on each other.  He's getting older and harder to pull one over on now, but I didn't want to give up the tradition. They almost always have something to do with food, and this year's idea was something I saw on Pinterest.



First, I placed a half dozen brussels sprouts on lollipop sticks. Then I melted 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with a teaspoon of vegetable oil.


I coated the Brussels with the chocolate, and then I rolled them in some holiday sprinkles.  I laid them on some parchment and put them in the fridge to set up. 


I almost didn't get pics, because I assumed he'd put one on a plate and sit to eat it.  Nope. He just grabbed one and took a huge bite. 





He's a really good sport :)

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.
