Last Minute Christmas Treats!

December 6, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Make some quick and delicious treats ready for your Holiday party in no time! One of my favorite places to be is in the kitchen making treats. I started learning about cooking and baking at a young age, and I continue to enjoy it very much to this day. During the holiday season, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Whether I'm making my Great Grandma's Potica or a quick batch of thumbprint spritz cookies, it's all so much fun! I also know that it gets very busy during the holiday season so I like to keep ingredients on hand for some simple but delicious treats to take to a holiday party or gift to someone special. Let's take a look at a few ideas! Homemade Chocolate ...

Our Favorite Christmas Toys!

December 4, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

We took some time to reminisce about some of our favorite toys! The Woodsman and I decided to sit down and talk about some of our favorite toys we received as Christmas gifts. We both have some great memories of toys we received and some of those toys really formed who we are today. As adults, we still have some of these toys in our collection! So fun to see these toys years later! Join us as we take a little walk down memory lane! Legos Eric - "Oh Legos! The building blocks that let you build all the great creations that were in your mind. I ended up collecting two big Lego boxes full of blocks and even the instruction manuals. Did they get sold off after childhood? No way! ...

Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls!

November 18, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Super Quick and Delicious Cinnamon Rolls! Who doesn't love a good cinnamon roll! The cinnamon goodness, and don't forget that awesome frosting! Cinnamon rolls are a special treat we love to enjoy, especially around the holidays. Cinnamon rolls though super tasty, can take some time to make, and sometimes are "heavy" to eat. On a mission for a quick, "lighter" cinnamon roll, I came across this delicious take on cinnamon rolls. Simple Ingredients The secret to these cinnamon rolls is instead of using a traditional sweet bread dough, you use puff pastry as the "roll" part of your cinnamon rolls. We also keep some puff pastry in the freezer for use in our favorite recipes. You can use ...

Maple Buckeye Candy!

December 21, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Make These Quick and Delicious Candies, Inspired by The Buckeye Nut! Growing up in Northeast Ohio you become very familiar with a few things. You hear the phrase "Lake Effect" and freeze in your tracks. Our weather changes as quickly as a blink of an eye. You support the Cleveland Browns no matter what, you drink pop, and Cleveland is the city of Rock and Roll! You also know when someone gets out the peanut butter and chocolate it's time to make Buckeyes, those tasty morsels that are impossible to stop eating! Buckeyes are a delicious mix of butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar formed in a "dough" and then dipped in chocolate! After the Buckeyes are all complete, ...

Paw Print Ornaments

December 5, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Create an Ornament to Celebrate Your Furry (or Feathered) Friends! Every year one of my favorite traditions is to make homemade ornaments. It is so fun to unwrap the memories year after year. One of my favorite methods of making homemade ornaments is to make salt dough ornaments. I'm sure at one point in time everyone has had experience with salt dough. Do I need to mention those handmade ornaments from kindergarten? Salt dough ornaments are so incredibly easy to make and can be made with items you probably already have around the house. The recipe is very simple and can easily be doubled if you need more salt dough. To make the salt dough you need salt, flour, and water, it's that ...
