DIY! No Bake Reeses Cheesecake Bites


Who has been invited to a Christmas party this year and has to bring a meal option? Probably most of us. Today we are about to head off to my family Christmas party, and we wanted to bring an easy, fun, and quick desert option. I headed to Pinterest, as usual, and found this wonderful recipe for No Bake Reeses Cheesecake cupcakes, and I would love to share my take on the recipe with you guys!
Ingredients:
-1 box of Jello Brand No Bake Cheesecake (per 12 cupcakes)
-1 bag of individual Reeses cups (also per 12 cupcakes)
-1 bag of topping (I chose reeses peanut butter chips)
-Cupcake Pan
-Cupcake Liners

It's important to start first with lining your cupcake pan and placing one Reeses cup per liner in the pan. This allows you to be ready once your cheesecake mix is ready.

After lining your pan. Open your No Bake Cheesecake and follow the instructions for the filling. These instructions include 1 1/2 cup of milk and a mixer. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare the filling.

Once your cheesecake mixture is mixed, spoon the mixture into each individual cup. After filling, this is where you can add your toppings. Like I said above, I chose Reeses Peanut Butter chips.

After the peanut butter cups were applied, I decided to add some graham cracker crumbs on the top of each. The graham cracked crust comes in the box of Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake. Instead of creating a crust, I used this as an extra topping and sprinkled it on the top of the cupcakes.

Once decorated, place your cupcake pans in the refrigerator for at least an hour!

And ta da! The end! Probably the easiest desert recipe I have ever experimented with.

My retail price for this recipe was around $14 for 24 cupcakes! Can't beat that.

What did you guys make for your Holiday parties this year?

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

      This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought.  We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you.  Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas.  Almo

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock.

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

  It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step!    This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 "    We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13"    Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive.    Once home, let the staining begin.      After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves. We used sand bags to weigh down e
