Easter Egg Cake Balls

Lolli — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:43:55 +0000

One of my family’s Spring Break traditions is to spend lots of time together in the kitchen. Spring Break for my kids starts tomorrow (we have a late one this year!) so I’m just barely starting to think about all of our spring traditions.

We love to hard boil and dye eggs, make batches and batches of sugar cookies and bowls full of homemade frosting in a rainbow of pastel colors and then decorate them (and eat them for days!).

It’s all about the Easter food!

This year I’m in mourning because our kitchen is STILL only half-functional, and it’s going to be a bigger challenge to make dyed Easter eggs, sugar cookies, or other treats. I’m so excited for the weekend when we’ll be getting together with our friends for a big Easter dinner (and I can use their kitchen to cook all day!).

If you’re luckier than I am this week and have a full-functioning kitchen, these cake ball eggs are not only super cute and festive, but they are beyond delicious, too! Use funfetti cake mix for a fun look inside your cake ball eggs, and mix up the flavors and use yellow cake mix with strawberry frosting. The great thing about this recipe is that there’s so much room for variations in color and flavor!

Here’s what you need to start:

12 cupcakes, made from your favorite cake mix or cake recipe (funfetti cake is super fun with this recipe!)
1 container or batch of marshmallow fondant (my daughter loves to make marshmallow fluff fondant. It’s SO easy! Just take a 16 ounce container of marshmallow fluff and mix in 6-8 cups of powdered sugar, about a teaspoon of vanilla, and a few drops of gel food coloring. Knead it in a greased surface with greased hands until it’s smooth!)
1 can of your favorite frosting (again, we like to make our own frosting, but if you want to save a step, then grab a can!)
10-15 drops pink GEL Food Coloring
Spoon
Knife
Rolling Pin
Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper or Wax Paper

Crumble cupcakes into a large bowl and stir in frosting until completely combined.

Form mixture into 12 egg shapes with your hands and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.

While cake ball eggs are chilling, grab your fondant. Set aside a small amount of uncolored fondant for the polka dots at the end.

Work pink GEL food coloring into larger portion of fondant until the desired color is consistent throughout. Separate fondant into 3 equal-sized pieces, set 2 aside and work with one piece at a time.

Roll one section of fondant flat (about 1/8-inch thickness).

Cut rolled out fondant into 4 sections with a sharp knife.

Remove eggs from the freezer and wrap one egg in one of the sections of fondant you just cut.

Repeat until all eggs are covered in fondant. Do not try to work the egg too much, just get it covered–the more you handle the fondant, the more sticky it will get.

Place eggs into the freezer for another 10 minutes to set. Remove eggs from freezer and make tiny circles with the white fondant you set aside earlier; mash those tiny circles randomly onto the outside of the eggs.

Chill your Easter egg cake balls until ready to serve.

Yield: 12 cake ball eggs

Happy First Day of Spring! Yesterday we had gorgeous spring-like weather and sunshine. Today and tomorrow, the biggest snow storm of the season is hitting us. What a way to welcome the spring!

My kids have spring break next week, and I’m already looking forward to having some extra time to bake Easter goodies (we still LOVE to make sugar cookies and decorate them with homemade frosting, even though my kids are big now).

My fellow hostesses and I noticed SO many delicious brunch-appropriate recipes in last week’s linky party, and so we’re excited to share this collection of Easter brunch ideas from YOU!

Easter Treats – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #107

Lolli — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 11:00:02 +0000

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Preparing this post really put me in the mood for spring…as I’m bundled up under a big blanket and my fingers feel like they’re going to freeze right off. Ha! I know spring will come eventually, and then I’ll be moaning about my allergies and wishing I could breathe through my nose again!

Easter and spring will be here before we know it, and my theory is that it’s never too early to start enjoying seasonal treats!

If you’re looking for any new spring clothes, take a look at my LuLaRoe inventory. So many cute tops, leggings, and dresses that are perfect for spring!

French Toast Wrapped Sausage Dippers

Lolli — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:11:09 +0000

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Johnsonville. The opinions and text are all mine.

My kids start Spring Break tomorrow, which means that the next week and a half will be all about sleeping in, baking our favorite Easter treats, and getting ready for an epic Easter egg hunt. In the past, this week of Spring Break has also meant big cousin sleep overs and always ALWAYS lots of food to feed lots of hungry kids and adults.

Basically, this time of year is about food and family (and to go along with my website, a good dose of FUN, too). I love to remind my friends and readers that preparing delicious meals – whether they’re for an ordinary family dinner or a big holiday brunch – doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Satisfying, family-friendly foods can be basic, using ingredients you are probably already adding to your shopping cart, like Johnsonville breakfast sausage links and bread. Did you know that you can find Johnsonville breakfast sausage in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, next to the bacon? I love that the sausage links are fresh, not frozen, and that I cook them up when I’m ready to eat.

We love cooking hot breakfast foods for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. There’s really no “wrong” time to eat things like sausage and French Toast, right? I love eating my French Toast with a side of sausage, because the sausage cuts the sweet flavor of the French Toast just right. Plus, my kids and I LOVE dipping our sausage links in maple syrup (despite what my mom thinks, sausage is better with syrup!), so they really are the perfect breakfast foods to pair together.

This week, I not only prepared French Toast and Johnsonville sausage links together, but I meshed them into one fantastic crowd-pleasing menu item, perfect for your Spring brunch, breakfast-for-dinner meal, or weekend breakfast.

Have you ever tried wrapping your French Toast around sausage links? This was a first for us, but it won’t be a last! It was a total hit for the kids and adults alike.

French Toast Wrapped Sausage Dippers

Yum

French Toast Wrapped Sausage Dippers

Ingredients

12 oz package (14-count) Johnsonville breakfast sausage links (any flavor variety)
14 slices of soft, airy bread
3 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Cook sausage links in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, turning to brown all sides. Remove sausage links from pan and set aside.
In a wide, shallow bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.
Cut crusts off of each slice of bread so you're left with a crust-less square of bread. Gently press the bread down with the palm of your hand.
Place one sausage link on each slice of bread and roll the bread up around the sausage. Dip each sausage roll in the egg-milk mixture and place in the skillet. Repeat for each piece of bread and sausage link. Note: I used the grease from cooking the sausage, which was still in the pan, but you may opt to wipe out the pan and use butter or vegetable oil to cook the French Toast with. Your choice!
Cook over medium heat, turning to cook all sides, until golden brown.
Serve with syrup for dipping. No utensils necessary!

Tasty Easter Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #63

Lolli — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 11:00:20 +0000

Hi guys!

I get a little giddy when we get close to certain holidays because it means that I get to cook my holiday menu! I do believe that if you asked any member of my family what their favorite holiday food was, they’d probably all give the same answer:

my homemade crescent rolls

What are your favorite dishes to make (or better yet, to eat!) during the holidays? Do you enjoy the finger foods and appetizers, the main and side dishes, or the desserts the best?

I’ll take a little of everything, just like we’ve got in this week’s Delicious Dishes host favorites collection:

Welcome Spring! Easter Dessert Recipes: Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #62

Lolli — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 11:00:07 +0000

Hi guys!

Welcome to SPRING! The weather took a turn back in the direction of winter last week, but I hear that we’re supposed to be feeling much more spring-like by the weekend. I can’t wait! I love the spring. My only complaint is allergies, but honestly I am willing to suffer if I can enjoy the sunshine, the warm without humidity, and the coming of summer!

This week, we’ve pulled together some delicious Easter and spring-inspired desserts. I love how colorful they all are! Here’s a fun Easter cupcake that I made a few years ago:

Lemon Mint Foot Soak

Jody — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 06:00:24 +0000

My feet take a beating during the winter. They get so dry! As we enter spring time, it’s time to pull the sandals back out of the closet and show off our feet again!

Whether it’s a long day at work, a full day of shopping, or a backyard soccer game with your kids, there are times we all need a little foot pampering. I’m looking for something that soothes tired feet but is safe to use. It’s even better if it isn’t expensive, right? I have just the thing for you in this Lemon Mint Foot Soak. It softens, moisturizes, and leaves your feet ready for a night of dancing or a day in yoru favorite spring sandals.

How to Make Lemon Mint Foot Soak

Ingredients:

3 cups epsom salts
1 cup baking soda
2 Tablespoon coconut oil
15 drops peppermint essential oil
10 drops lemon essential oil
1 Tablespoon matcha green tea powder (optional)

Directions:

1. Soften coconut oil in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it easier to mix.

2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until evenly mixed. I used matcha green tea powder to give a little natural color to the foot scrub. You can leave it out if you don’t have any on hand or use a soap colorant to give it a green tint.

3. Transfer your mixture to a large glass jar – I find pretty decorative jars at Dollar Tree and at Hobby Lobby that are perfect for storing DIY beauty recipes like this. Mason jars work well too!

To Use:

1. Scrub vigorously over damp feet, paying special attention to dry areas.

2. Rinse well, pat dry, apply lotion to lock in moisture.

Ta da! Your feet are ready for the spring!
