So let’s talk about Mother’s Day.Actually, let’s talk about my mom and Mother’s Day. My mom, well she absolutely hates mothers day. Yeah, like she really hates it. I am am not sure on the exact reason, but I am pretty sure it is because she was a super young mom. She had my brother [...]
Cinco De Mayo or Kentucky Derby? Kentucky Derby or Cinco De Mayo? Basically that has been the thought running through my head the last week and half. So far Cinco De Mayo has won. Big Time. Crockpot Carnitas Tortilla Burrito Bowl or Margarita Chicken Quesadillas with Margarita Guacamole anyone?? Oh man and for dessert what about [...]
Ugh. It is a complete white out right now. Like white as can be, snow coming down so hard. Been going strong all day. It’s the perfect weather for a nice cold ice cream cone! Just perfect! Seriously though, the last time I made ice cream it was also snowing. Whats up? Colorado you can [...]
Today I am going to tell you how I made this banana bread into one giant S’more. I am not going to lie it is the messiest S’more you will ever eat. Like ever. It’s messy. It’s gooey. It’s chocolatey. It’s bananay. It’s also the best S’more you will ever eat.
You know what hours of endless brainstorming results in? Combining two desserts to make one awesome… dessert love child. Dessert love childs are kind of a thing in the food blogging world. Think about it. Without food bloggers we would not have the Better than Crack Brownies, 7 Layer Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, Oatmeal and [...]
Decisions, decisions, decisions…… I hate them! Not only do I hate them, I can not make them for the life of me. Yeah, I am one of those annoying people.
This cake? Yeah, I know. It’s kind of ridiculous. But it also just kind of happened. Like I have no idea how I came up with this. Ok, well I do. I was brainstorming and brainstorming some more (I brainstorm A LOT! Actually, I brainstorm so much that by the end of the day my brain [...]
So, toasted coconut is about to rock your world. Oh and coconut caramel. Before I made these cupcakes I had never had toasted coconut! I now know that was just plain stupid. I mean like whoa. Toasted coconut is awesome! This whole no coconut thing? Yeah, you can totally blame this on my mom, who [...]
Obviously, I am in a tropical mood lately. I am shoving things like Grilled Salmon and Pineapple, Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos with Manga salsa, Avocado Spring Rolls, Ice Cream and now coconut in your face. I hope you don’t mind. It’s a phase. I go through them. Sometimes they go as quick as they came [...]
So, I am going to tell you how to make Homemade Buttery Ritz Crackers…… Then I am going to tell you how to cut them into bunnies (or circles or whatever you have on hand). Then I am going to tell you how to stuff them with peanut butter and then I will tell you [...]
I made you a cake and I flipped it up side down. And between the peanut butter in my hair (this took forever to get out), spilled milk in the fridge and ah hello, the snow (yes, it is still snowing. Sun, please come back and warm my bones!) it was the highlight of my day.
Flourless cakes are the bomb. And no, I am not going all no carb on you. Trust me that could never happen at our house. I am pretty sure we consume a whole loaf of whole grain bread every morning. Oh, and then there’s Kai and his bagels. The kid loves bagels. There are definitely [...]
K, it’s time I get on the whole sprinkles band wagon. Sprinkles were NEVER allowed in our house growing up. Sprinkles and Nerds (candies that is – not smart people, there’s actually not enough of those at our house). And not because they are pure sugar. See my mom just did not like picking sprinkles [...]
So, do you think the Irish like donuts? Who am I kidding, everybody like donuts. Especially donuts filled with chocolate Irish cream filling. Hey, it’s March 1st after all. Wow, it’s March 1st. How in the heck did that happen? Really, time is just flying by. Don’t you kind of wish time would just slow [...]
I think it has been a whole week since I have shared a dessert. I mean I know on Friday I told you guys about those Banana Bread Pancakes with the Vanilla Coconut Drizzle, but really those so do not count. I mean, one they are healthy (no really they are, just check out the [...]
I made you breakfast. Or maybe lunch. Yeah, I totally made these for lunch the other day and I have been dying with excitement ever since. Let’s just say waiting a full TWO days to share these with was hard. Real hard. Oh, another thing. Coconut milk, now coconut everything is my best friend! Oh and bananas [...]
Let’s talk about mistakes. I think I make way too many of them. Yeah. I make a whole lot of those in life for sure, but I learn from those (hopefully). In baking I just end up with a mess. My problem is I try to change too many things about a recipe and then [...]
The chocolate lovers have taken back the house. Can you tell? Now, if you are thinking cake on a Tuesday is a little much you are probably right. But we are not a normal household. Cake, brownies, cupcakes, frosting these are all considered legit around here, under the food group – chocolate. Honestly, I simply [...]
