March to the Beet of a Different Salad (Beet Poke Bowl)
A slasher film looked like it took place in my kitchen last weekend, due to the “beeting” it received. Red beet juice covered the counters, my hands, and the chopping boards, but it was all worth it.

A floofy flurry of festive marshmallows invaded the Fixin’ Leaks and Leeks Headquarters, and I knew just what to do with them. I stuffed their cute little faces inside hot melted butterscotch chips and peanut butter to create a cookie for the holidays. The cookie is actually called a confetti square, and the recipe I… Continue reading It’s-a-Marshmallow-World-in-the-Kitchen-Cookies
