Today Amanda has a recipe for Dr. Pepper cookies that require only 3 ingredients! Prep time is only about 5 minutes and they bake in 10, so this is a super duper easy and fast recipe.
If you don’t have any Dr. Pepper around, you can certainly try substituting with what ever soda you have on hand. You can also make these cookies with diet Dr. Pepper too! You can get the recipe along with instructions on Amanda’s post HERE.

Since it’s Memorial Day Weekend, and a perfect time for breakfasts that are a little more on the special side, I thought I would share this recipe from my friend Karen. You can even add blueberries on top to make it red white and blue and a bit more patriotic. 😉
Many of you know Karen as a moderator on the TotallyTarget Forum, and she also does a tremendous job of helping me with my giveaways and other things around here on TT. But Karen is also a fabulous cook and I have managed to talk her into sharing one of her recipes & I hope there will be more to come.
Keep in mind if you are short on time, you could substitute with a boxed waffle mix and still use fresh fruit and fresh whipped cream to still make a delicious dish- but here is her recipe from scratch…

Directions: Preheat waffle iron. Sift together flour, salt & baking powder in a bowl and set aside. In second bowl mix together egg yolks and sugar until yolks turn pale yellow and sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla, butter, and milk & combine. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined (do not over-mix). In a 3rd bowl beat egg whites with mixer until soft peaks form and then gently fold egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula. It’s important not to over-mix.
Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray and cook waffles until golden brown. Top with fresh made whipping cream (just whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1 tablespoon sugar until it gets to the right consistency) and then pile on fresh strawberries and/or blueberries.
– Thanks so much for sharing Karen!

So I managed to sneak out early afternoon to try my luck at 70% Off Easter and I was so happy to find still a lot left at my store. I found quite a few super-cheap goodies- like Kraft Bunny Mallows marshmallows for .35 cents a bag, and I found a ton of Easter-themed bags of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish for just .59 cents each so I bought six ‘cuz I love ’em too. 🙂 I also found a Fisher Price Little People Wheelies car and used the 10% Off Select Fisher-Price Items (including Little People) Target Web Coupon x5/12.
There were also still lots of PAAS products at my store so I picked up a pack of the Doodle Pens for next year. I also bought spring themed stickers, a craft kit, an awesome mini Bundt Cake Pan, window clings, plastic eggs, and some easter grass. I found a tin pirate pail for $1.50 I will use as a catchall in Austin’s room, Hot Wheels Puzzle Erasers for .59 cents and I picked up a few other things for a friend. I spent a total of $16.51 and saved $55.02 and successfully resisted the urge to buy any chocolate! 😉
Don’t forget to take a good look around the store too- sometimes not everything will make it to the clearance area and it’s worth scoping out the store a bit. I found my Goldfish on an endcap up near the front register- and it’s probably why it was so well stocked since there was no clearance sign in sight! I hope you all find/found some great Easter clearance bargains today as well!
Today Amanda has a creative way to use Easter Jelly beans (or Cadbury Eggs) to make a super cute and tasty dessert. Birds Nest Cookies are fun to look at, and delicious to eat! They do take a while to bake, but the resulting treat is well worth the wait.
You can see Amanda’s step by step instructions along with pictures and ingredient list on her post HERE. These cookies are sure to not only delight any child, but bring a big smile to their face as well!
