#Ad I love introducing my family to different reci

#Ad I love introducing my family to different recipes. I recently made these Loaded Mexican Sweet Potato Skins and they loved them! It's sweet potatoes that have been baked, cut in half & hollowed out and loaded with a mixture of corn, black beans, onion, bell pepper, sweet potatoes & chicken and topped with cheese. For this recipe I topped the Sweet Potatoes with @daiyafoods Mozzarella Style Cheese Shreds and Cheddar Style Cheese Shreds. I loved using @daiyafoods vegan cheese shreds because they added a great flavor to the dish and they’re a great alternative for food allergies & intolerances.

With Easter right around the corner, I’m looking

With Easter right around the corner, I’m looking forward to baking different treats for my family to enjoy. One of my favorite things to bake every year is this Easter Egg shaped Cookie Cake. My kids look forward to this cookie cake every year because it’s full of their favorite Pastel M&M’S®, both Milk Chocolate & Peanut! It tastes great thanks to my secret ingredient @countrycrock Original Spread from my local Sam's Club. I love using @countrycrock because it doesn’t have any artificial preservatives or flavors, it has a smooth & creamy country-fresh buttery flavor and it enhances my baking dishes. #ad #happyeaster #easterbaskets #marswrigley #eastercandy #countrycrockpaidpartner
