Chocolate Banana Milkshake

Thick, frothy, and chocolate with a hint of banana. It's so healthy, you can have it for breakfast. A chocolate milkshake for breakfast? Umm... Yes please! I don't know anyone who would turn that down. A while back, when I was in preschool, my mom bought this cookbook called Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes. It really is a great...

Breakfast Sandwich Without the Bread! AKA The Modified Omelet OR the Eggwich

Most of the time, when you make a breakfast sandwich, there's bread involved. (Well duh.) So what's a girl to do when she wants a breakfast sandwich but can't have bread? I was pondering the question while lying in bed one morning trying to convince myself to get up. I really wanted a breakfast sandwich. The kind with the eggs, bacon or...

How to Wet-Wash with Watercolors

I'm taking a break from my usual recipe or writing posts today. Instead I thought it'd be fun to share a craft post with you guys. Some of you want start groaning right now and complain that you don't have a creative bone in your bodies, but I can assure you this doesn't require much creativity. As long as you know how to draw and can fling...

Recipe Review: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles

Normally when I do these types of posts I don't call them "recipe reviews" (for example, the chicken nuggets, deep dish cookie pie, vanilla fudgesicles, vegan vanilla ice cream, etc.). But since this recipe was so simple I really didn't change much and it deserved a different title. Photo taken by Caroline from Chocolate and Carrots I...

Vanilla Milkshake

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I really have no good excuse except for I've been kinda lazy and have no idea what to post.  (If you have any recipes or posts you'd like to see on the blog, please tell me in the comments!) So, in light of the recent weather, I'm going to post one of my favorite cold drink recipes- a milkshake!...

Frozen Mango Strawberry Lemonade

Summer means lemonade. And frozen drinks. So why not combine the two? And then add mango and strawberries... Pure perfection. I actually got the idea for this drink at one of my favorite restaurants ever, Logan's Roadhouse. (If you've never heard of Logan's, it's like a Texas Roadhouse except different. And, in my opinion, tastier!)...

Chocolate Chip "Brownie" Nut Balls

I must be on a chocolate kick. Heck, when am I not on a chocolate kick? ;) Lately, I've been trying to wean myself off having sugar almost every night. Normally I don't, but it is summer and when family visits it's kinda hard to avoid. That's why it's time to get back on track! But going cold turkey doesn't necessarily work for me....

Rhubarb Muffins

Another muffin recipe! Yay! ;D As you can probably tell, we like our muffins around here. Tart, bites of fresh rhubarb surrounded by moist "topping". Sort of like rhubarb crisp for breakfast! Except in muffin form. But equally delicious! I mean, who wouldn't want rhubarb crisp for breakfast? ;) My mother actually came up with this...

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Moist, chocolate-y muffins with a hint of banana. What could be better than that? Well, it does get better. These muffins contain no added sweetener. A little bit of stevia and very ripe bananas are enough to sweeten the whole batch. I was literally taking a leap of faith when I decided to include no sweetener. I was worried they wouldn't...

4th of July Recipe Round-Up

Normally, for a recipe round-up, I'll share some of my own recipes. But lately I've done a lot of recipe round-ups and not enough recipe posting. By this point, you guys are probably seeing some of the same recipes over and over again. I don't want to put you through that kind of torture. So I thought I'd do something a little different....
