Unicorn Goodies
I made a table full of unicorn goodies for my niece’s first birthday. This isn’t really a recipe post, I just wanted to share what I made. I took a shortcut and used cookie mix and cake mix, so everything wasn’t really made from scratch. I really wanted to focus my efforts on the visual look of everything. The sugar cookie mix was delicious I’m not a fan of sugar cookie icing from a tube though. I also made some chocolate cupcakes covered in butter cream frosting as well as some cupcakes covered in frosting from a tube. The star of the dessert table was this lovely unicorn cake. There…

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Protein Balls
This great little snack is packed full of both fiber & protein and you wouldn't even know that it's healthy because it tastes like a little PB & chocolate ball. These healthy snacks keep well for a week or so in the refrigerator and they're great to have on hand as a go-to option as opposed to having something unhealthy (like cookies in my case).

Lemon Ricotta Cookies
This recipe turned out delicious, the glaze adds a really yummy flavor punch to the biscuits. I may be a bit biased though because I love lemon flavored things. Needless to say, these cookies didn’t last too long… I pretty much inhaled them. Gather the ingredients. Combine all the ingredients with an electric mixer. I used an ice-cream scoop to scoop out the batter into equal sized portions. Bake until they’re lightly golden brown on the bottom. Lemon Ricotta Cookies Ingredients 2 cups granulated sugar 2 lemons, zested 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 2 large eggs 15 ounces…
