Since I was a child, I had a thing for blueberry anything and Boo Berry Cereal from my childhood has always been a favorite. I buy a box or two once a year when it’s out around Halloween as a bit of a birthday guilty pleasure. I happened to spot boxes of this childhood favorite at my local grocery store and, like a lightbulb moment, I thought “CEREAL TREATS”. A couple boxes went into the grocery cart for “research purposes” and it was time to whip up some Blueberry Studded Boo Berry Cereal Treats….

I often joke that if I was stranded on an island, ice coffee MUST be with. I have been drinking ice coffee since I can remember. What can I say – I come from a coffee loving family. During my “recovering publicist days”, you can guarantee that while we were mapping out tour schedules, I was also mapping out coffee houses. There was no way we were going to be dealing with tour press if I couldn’t have an ice coffee at the ready. I can deal with many rolls and punches but dealing without my ice coffee is just not a wise idea – for anyone.

Spiced Pumpkin Mousse – An Easy Holiday Dessert

This easy Spiced Pumpkin Mousse is a chic sophisticated dessert that takes only minutes to make.

Disclosure: I was sent the OXO On Illuminating Digital Hand Mixer pictured to assist with the post. No compensation was received. My opinions and adoration for OXO are my own.

I have a delicious dessert idea for you this holiday that will require no baking at all and will take minutes to make. The most effort comes from a hand-held electric mixer and your refrigerator who will do the majority of the work and it is a chic bite that will have your friends and family swooning – a rich and creamy Spiced Pumpkin Mousse.

Recently, OXO reached out to see if I wanted to try their new OXO On Illuminating Digital Hand Mixer this holiday season and I couldn’t wait to see what I could mix up with it. I have an old hand mixer that I got at Costco eons ago and, quite frankly, it is on its last legs. Sure, it mixes but the power leaves a bit to be desired, it’s bulky, makes a mess and I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve had panic attacks from it almost knocking over ingredients or a bowl. This digital hand mixer runs circles around anything I have worked with before. Not only is intuitive, able to blend smoothly from one speed to the next, it rests easily on its base when you have to stop midway through and, one of the features I really adore – has an LED headlight so I can see everything that I’m mixing. While I love my apartment, it is lacking in natural light and sometimes the overhead ceiling light doesn’t give as much light as I would like. I’m able to make sure everything is evenly combined and when it comes to certain recipes, it’s so helpful. The tools easily store with the base and the cord flips from side to side – no worries about knocking ingredients or bowls off the counter.
