Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle: No Bake Trifle Recipe

December 1, 2013 by Jenn

As a food YouTuber and blogger, I find myself trying to tell you how things taste when I post recipes.  It is actually very hard to do and trying recipes for taste is something that you have to do yourself.  What I like, might not be what you like (even though it should be) :).  With Christmas right around the corner, what I love for seasonal tastes are gingerbread, eggnog and sugar cookies.  So with this recipe for Eggnog Gingerbread trifle, I’m getting two of my favourites in one!  If you like either of these flavours, you’ll love this!  If you don’t like either, just make it anyway.

Rainbow Chocolate Chip Microwave Cookie: No Bake Cookie in a Mug

November 25, 2013 by Jenn

 Through our visits to LA over the last couple of months, we’ve been able to meet some really great people!  One of those great people is Hetal, from Show Me the Curry.  Her and her partner, have a YouTube channel that specializes in Indian recipes, and they look so amazing!  While we were at YouTube Space LA, we found ourselves together in what looked to be a bachelor type pad, so we decided to do a couple of collabs together on microwavable recipes!  Make sure you head over to Hetal’s channel and check out her collab with me, baking a Bachelor Brownie.

Rainbow Cheesecake Dip: No Bake Cream Cheese Dip Recipe

November 22, 2013 by Jenn

A couple posts ago I explained that we were back in Los Angeles at the beginning of November for some more time filming and exploring at YouTube Space LA.  Whenever we’re there, we have to think of as many no bake desserts as we can, and then somehow book the time to film them.  It’s definitely challenging!  Setting up lights and cameras takes a lot of time, especially since we’re used to filming in our kitchen.

 In previous no bake dessert posts, I showed you how to make Cake Batter Bars, Cookies and Cream Stuffed Strawberries and now, rainbow cheesecake dip.   We filmed these all at YouTube Space LA, and we have three more videos yet to come! 

This is another easy, no bake recipe for that people of all ages can make!  And it’s rainbow.  RAINBOW!  Everything that has sprinkles or rainbows makes life better.

I love the recipes that the younger bakers can master quickly because that’s how I started baking.  Super quick and easy.  It makes you feel successful, and for some reason, many people think that baking is difficult.  What I love about this blog and our YouTube channel is that we break the steps up into small pieces and everyone can be successful. 

This is also a great recipe to serve with fruit (if you want to cut a few calories out).  Mini cookies, and meringues would also be perfect!

Cake Batter Bars: No Bake Cake Mix Bar Recipe

November 19, 2013 by Jenn

I have a small obsession with Birthday Cake Oreos….well, really anything cake batter flavoured!  Why is cake BATTER, such a delicious flavour?  Have you tried birthday cake ice cream from Cold Stone?? OMG!  It is soooo delicious.  Anyway, when the birthday cake Oreos first came out, I was devastated that they would go away as quickly as they appeared, but thank goodness, they’re still on shelves.  You’re going to need to pick yourself up a package of them for this recipe…and an extra package to snack on!

No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar with Kristina Werner

September 23, 2013 by Jenn

I am not crafty.  I try to be when I’m in my Kindergarten room, but I do not have the skills to work the scissors properly.  Give me a mixing bowl and some ingredients and I can make whatever you want, but some paper and glue?  I’m lost.  All those cute Pinterest crafts that people are pinning and recreating?  I don’t even bother trying to pretend that I might be able to figure out how to do it myself one day.  I just move on to fabulous cake ideas!

When we were at YouTube Space LA, we ran into another YouTuber, Kristina Werner, from the YouTube channel Star of May.  We decided to put our heads together and see what we could come up with in a collab together!  We decided for the video on my channel, we would make a No Bake Cheesecake together, and then for her channel, she would show me how to decorate the jar for gift giving!  Yay! You get to see how horrible I am at cutting!!  

But first up, the cheesecake!

Tired of the same old Rice Krispies squares?
