Today is indeed my birthday!  Hooray!  I am officially 24 years old. Weird. The big 2-4.  This is the first birthday I’ve had where I feel like I am actually getting older.  23 didn’t seem too bad last year, but 24…not sure how I feel about it.

Birthdays.  Gotta love ’em!  Since it is my birthday, I thought it would be nice to share a fun little birthday treat recipe!  It is pretty darn easy.  If you have ever made Rice Krispie Treats successfully, I will guarantee you can handle this one.  It’s literally the same as making those, but you add one other ingredient to bring out the birthday flavor: cake mix! birthday Tell me this picture doesn’t make you happy?!  They’re chewy, gooey, marshmallow-y, and festive!  Any person at any age will appreciate this fun recipe! These treats are great, too, if you are in a hurry because you can whip them up in like 5 minutes.birthday5

I am Karlie. I say I am a silly, honest, kind, smartie pants who is crazy about eating. Food is my passion. I can be artistic, and creative, and make people happy all with food. I have told people for a long time that I wanted to start a food blog because I love food and everything about food. No matter how much I have just eaten, I always have room for a sweet thing. Baking and cooking make me giddy and I love to experiment with recipes to make them my own. I dream about using vegetables in places people wouldn't normally put them ;)
