Bake Up Your Own Girl Scout Cookies for National Girl Scout Day

Mar 122013

Today is National Girl Scout Day. Each year they celebrate the creation of the first Girl Scouts group which formed on March 12th, 1912. I personally was never a Girl Scout but I’ve purchased my fair share of Girl Scout cookies over the years.

Recipes for Homemade Girl Scout Cookies and more

Lately I’ve seen a number of recipes on Pinterest showing how to make your own homemade Girl Scout Cookies, as well as a number of other recipes that use Girl Scout cookies as an ingredient. I thought it would be fun to share some of those recipes with you, as eating cookies sounds like a great way to celebrate any special occasion!

The college basketball tournament will be starting soon and we’re all pretty excited. Hopefully the Cats will manage to sneak in this year (it hasn’t really been the best year for the UK men’s basketball team) so that we can cheer for them. Even if they don’t, we’ll definitely be watching the games.

I don’t know about you but when we watch something special like a once-per-year tournament I like to make special snacks or meals to help celebrate. I wanted to make something that we could eat over the course of a few days so that we could enjoy it during most of the games. So I decided to make “Madness Munch”. Bubbles of course wanted to help – she loves to help me in the kitchen and I love to have the help. This recipe is fast and easy to make and you can customize it to fit the tastes of your family.

National Potato Chip day is just around the corner and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give a little nod to Chef George Crum who is popularly believed to have invented the potato chip as we know it. He was dealing with a finicky customer who complained their fried potatoes were too thick and soggy and kept returning them to the kitchen. Frustrated, Chef Crum cut them as thin as possible, cooked them crisp, and added extra salt. Instead of being angry the customer loved them and they were immediately added to the menu under the name “Saratoga Chips”.

While I love to cook for my family from scratch sometimes we need a quick and easy bite that fits into our sometimes-busy schedule. It also needs to taste good and be healthy. And if our “choosy” 2-year-old likes it even better!

The other day we decided to make some homemade quesadillas for dinner and it kind of put us in the mood for a few other Mexican/Tex-Mex dishes. One thing I like about making some of our favorites at home is that we can both customize them to our tastes as well as lighten them up a bit. We really like burritos so I thought why not put together a basic rice and bean burrito recipe?

Iced Coffee Recipe: Mocha Parfait Shots

Last year I fell in love with the new International Delight Mocha Iced Coffee and shared with you a couple of coffeehouse recipes that you could make at home. Almost nine months later and I’m still drinking my DIY iced coffees at home. Not only does it help me save a few dollars but it’s much more convenient. Instead of driving to a coffee shop every time I get the hankering for a cold coffee beverage I just have to reach into the fridge.

As much as I have been enjoying my ID Mocha Iced Coffee I had decided that I needed to cut back just a bit. Summer is just around the corner and that means tank tops and swimsuits so a girl needs to watch her waistline just a bit. I was exceedingly happy, then, when on a recent trip to the store I found that International Delight had read my mind. There, on the shelf, was a Light version of my favorite Mocha Iced Coffee!
