Mango Coconut Ice Cream

I must be on some sort of tropical kick. Maybe I'm just trying to fantasize summer and vacations on tropical islands. The only vacation I've ever taken that's been near the equator was a Disney cruise when I was 4. Wow. That's sad. I need to change that. Anyways, I made this ice cream on Memorial Day and it was a hit! Probably the...

Pina Colada Smoothie

There was a time in my life when I thought I didn't like pina coladas. I thought I hated coconut AND pineapple. Good thing that phase in my life is over. I don't know if  I could live without pineapple and coconut! I eat coconut basically every day and any kind of pineapple whenever I can get my hands on it.  That stuff is like...

Memorial Day Recipe Round-Up

Memorial Day conjures up memories of hot sunny days, working in the garden, grilling, and going to the pool. Well, not this Memorial Day. It's chilly, rainy, and not perfect swimming weather at all. But we are grilling! Yay! :D I hope the weather is much better where you are. Maybe you'll actually be able to go to the pool. Hopefully,...

Vanilla-Orange Smoothie

On Monday I said that my smoothie recipe needed more work, well today, here it is! I know it doesn't look very tasty, but that's only because I put chia seeds in it. Probably not the best idea if I wanted a photogenic smoothie. Oh, well. It tasted good and that's all that matters. It kinda tastes like a Dreamsicle, except in the...

Strawberry Banana Shake

I was hoping to have a smoothie recipe for you guys today, but the recipe needs a little more work. I haven't had very much time to spend in the kitchen creating new recipes lately. School has been pretty hectic with finals and all. My life right now basically exists of eating, sleeping, and school.  On Friday, I was at school...

Berry Lime Iced Tea

There's something about iced tea and summer that just go together. And yesterday was one of those days, where iced tea was the perfect drink to have. Yes, it was 80 degrees F in Indiana. Why not celebrate with some iced tea? ;) When I was younger, the only kind of iced tea we would have in the fridge was Crystal Light peach tea. I...

French Silk Pie

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and did something special for your mother. In case you are a mother, I hope someone did something special for you! You all know that I love to cook, and (I think) it's something that I'm good at, so I spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking for my mom. (Don't worry, I did dishes, too.)...

Mother's Day Recipe Round-Up

I love Mother's Day. It's the one day of the year where my mom will actually stay in bed long enough for me to get up and make her breakfast. I've tried to give her breakfast in bed more often, but she gets up at, like, six. I love her, but it's not worth getting up at 5:30 to make her breakfast. Sorry Mom. I know a lot of people have...
