Monster Milkshakes #HalloweenTreatsWeek


Have you ever tried a monster shake or freakshake? These over the top milkshakes are so easy to make at home! 


The first step is decorating the glass. I chose to buy white premade cookie icing, you can definitely make your own. I squeezed a stripe around the edge and then spread it slightly with an icing spatula.

I rolled the rim in sprinkles and then used more frosting to apply the candy eyeballs. After you've got it as coated as you like, pop them into the freezer while you make the shakes.

We use a pretty standard milkshake base for ours, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract and milk. You can vary the flavors of ice cream, add mix ins, change out the extract or make them over 21 shakes by using your favorite liqueur. 


Pour the shakes into the glasses and then top with a generous amount of whipped cream. Begin to add your treats.  This time around I had store bought mini donuts, Witch's Brew Kit Kats and various shaped butter cookies.  I used a skewer for the donuts to give the shake some height.

Then I started placing in the cookies and candy. After I had everything where I wanted it, I added more sprinkles and eyeballs.

I made two shakes. You can definitely decrease the size of the glass and make it 4 servings but be sure to choose something with a wide mouth so that you can really pack the goodies onto the top.


Thanks so much to Angie for hosting #HalloweenTreatsWeek,  I really love seeing how creative people are and all the different takes on spooky themes and I hope that you've all enjoyed it as much as I have!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
