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 :)

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. 

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.
