Jack O' Lantern Mandarin Orange Cups

How cute are these super easy Jack O’ Lantern Mandarin Orange Cups?!  Today was my 4 year old’s preschool Halloween party, and I was supposed to bring a treat to the party.  I worked 12 hours yesterday, I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, I’m pregnant {enough said}, then I visited our dad in the hospital and let’s face it… sometimes there just isn’t time for a fabulous homemade treat, right?  These Jack O’ Lantern mandarin orange cups were so perfect for my busy morning!  They took  about 15 minutes to make, looked adorable, and were the healthiest thing on the treat table at the party.  I felt great about them.  And more importantly, the kids gobbled them up.  So if you have a busy day and a Halloween treat you need to provide tomorrow (or if you just want to make these spooktacular little fruit cups for fun) stop by the grocery store tonight and get out your sharpie to have some fun! And have such a HAPPY HALLOWEEN tomorrow!

    Love it sis. You’re so right too – sometimes life is just too busy to make homemade treats. But this a healthy and fun alternative – better than any pumpkin bars! 🙂

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
