Easter Dessert Ideas [Quick and Easy]

 

easter-dessert-ideas

My family loves when I create food content – it means they get to enjoy it when I’m done taking pics & videos:) And they dug into these two Easter desserts that I made this week!

And if you’re looking for an Easter outfit that’s not a dress, I’ll also provide the details for this one that is head-to-toe from Target.

Keep reading below for both recipes and outfit details!

 Easy Easter Desserts

 

 

Easter Bark

 

Supplies:

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • Saltine crackers (enough to line the baking sheet)
  • Chocolate chips (any flavor) – I used Funfetti
  • Toppings (sprinkles, candy, etc.)

 

Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cover the sheet in saltine crackers
  • Melt 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar; cook for several minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Pour the mixture over the crackers and spread evenly
  • Place in oven for 5-7 minutes
  • Sprinkle choc chips evenly over the top and spread when melted
  • Add your toppings (sprinkles, candy, etc.)
  • Cool in fridge or freezer until hardened
  • Break apart into pieces and serve.

  • 1/4 cup butter 4 cups small marshmallows

Directions:

  • Add in 4 cups of small marshmallows and stir until melted
  • Add 6 cups of crisp rice cereal and stir until thoroughly mixed

The nests are a ‘no-bake’ dessert and both are easy and fun for the kids to join when making!

 

And for an Easter outfit idea that’s not a dress, this Spring outfit I’m wearing is head to toe from Target.

I’m wearing XS in both the top and shorts – I cut the strings off the top and the shorts have an elastic waistband and pockets.

I sized up 1/2 size in the braided sandals; they’re cushiony and very comfy.

What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever face What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever faced? The greatest lesson you ever learned? 

For me, I faced one of my toughest challenges at 6 years old, learning the meaning of “life is short.”

I’d spent many afternoons that summer splashing around our backyard pool with my Mom, Dad, sister and baby brother. 

It was our first - and only summer, as a family of 5 before life was forever changed.  Soon after, my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He died a little over a year later at the age of 35.

His death not only impacted me as a child, but has continued to affect me in different ways throughout my adult life too. 

There’s a sadness with each milestone missed, birthday not celebrated and the wondering of what life ‘would’ve been like.’ 

There’s the worry in hoping my kids never have to experience losing a parent like I did. 

But through this struggle and others, I’ve learned from each of them.

I’ve found strength and resiliency. 

Having a positive attitude and focusing on what I do have has helped so much. I can handle hard times and still find joy. 

I am grateful for having a supportive family and friends whose love allowed me to have a happy childhood despite my loss. 

I gained compassion for others’ suffering through my own. 

I know that every day with the ones we love is precious and to be cherished. 

So if you’re struggling with something in your life, no matter how big or small, know that you are not alone. We all struggle - it’s not fun, but it’s part of life. 

This part of my life hasn’t always been easy to share. 

But speaking your truth is a brave and vulnerable act, and it’s how we build real connections. 

Plus, you never know when a page from your story will turn into a key chapter in someone else’s survival guide!

Thinking of you today and wishing you hope & strength in your journey. 💕

Who could use a little light today? “A smile i Who could use a little light today? 

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others there is a sharing, caring person inside.” —Denis Waitley

During my days working as a pharmacist, my former boss once referred to me and my partner as the “sweethearts of our district.”

I’m an empath to the bone.  It truly makes my heart hurt to see other people crying or suffering. 

I just want to run over and hug them!

And I used to do just that if a patient came to my pharmacy counter with bad news or a heavy heart. 

Sometimes the best medicine is one that heals the soul:)

Nowadays as a blogger/content creator I’m on the other side of your screen, not the pharmacy counter. 

But know that I’m here for you too! 

This is me, sending my virtual smile YOUR way! 😃

How do you get yourself motivated to exercise? Fo How do you get yourself motivated to exercise?

For me, my morning meditation and cup of coffee definitely starts my day off right. 

But not until I’ve selected a cute workout outfit! 

I absolutely LOVE how good and energized it feels on the inside after a workout. 

But ya know the saying ‘look good, feel good?’ 

The fashion lover in me gets a little extra motivation when the outfit I’m wearing has me feeling cute on the outside too.

It gives me a little extra boost and puts me in the right frame of mind before breaking a sweat. 

*Tip: Selecting and laying out my outfit the night before makes it even quicker & easier to get going the next day!

So how about you? 

Does a cute workout outfit motivate you too?

These 4 workout sets from Amazon have been getting me extra motivated lately! (Swipe to see them all) 

I’m wearing size small in all of them.

To shop these outfits, just click the link in my profile, head to stories or message me for a link!

Have a great day! 💪🏻
