Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy Groundhog Day, friends! I know, it’s not a real holiday but I like it anyway. As a kid, I would get abnormally excited for Groundhog Day. For one, the elementary school I went to always did it big. We had decorations, the moms brought in groundhog shaped cookies and we’d count down to see if Phil would... Continue reading »

Vegan Love: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Rich Chocolate Frosting

Vegan Love: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Rich Chocolate Frosting

Have you ever tried a vegan cupcake? True, I don’t typically practice Veganism (abstaining from the use of animal products) in my day to day life, but I am a baker who loves nothing more than trying new things. And since there are many who do choose this lifestyle, I love having vegan options in my baking... Continue reading »

Apple Pie Jam

Apple Pie Jam

How is it that Valentine’s Day has turned into such a big commercial racket? Store shelves are lined with every type of pink and red nick-knack known to man, from heart shaped Peeps to stuffed puppies holding pillows that say, “I ruff you.” Seriously!? Or maybe even worse are all the jewelry catalogues that try... Continue reading »

Homemade Chicken & Cabbage Potstickers

Homemade Chicken & Cabbage Potstickers

It’s Thursday and I am feeling under the weather. Most people stay in bed when they don’t feel well; not me. I jumped out of bed and started cleaning the house. I was down on my hands in knees {feeling like I was going to pass out any minute} trying to make everything appear clean. I feel satisfied…... Continue reading »

Goat's Cheese and Sunblush Tomato Chicken

Goat's Cheese and Sunblush Tomato Chicken

This. This can only be described as my favourite recipe for dinner for the past month or so, and I can see it sticking that way. I've adapted this recipe from a few of (the goddess that is) Nigella's recipes. But I do favour my alternative and much cheaper! dish. When I visit my friends, (which is enough) I always try...

Salted Toffee Sauce

Salted Toffee Sauce

I have been having so much fun following McCormick’s Flavor Forecast.  This week I chose their “Simplicity Shines” trend.  I was immediately drawn to their simple Toffee Sauce and knew I had to make it at once. I LOVE adding salt to caramel sauces so I decided to sprinkle some on and it was PERFECT This sauce... Continue reading »

Candy Makeover: Peanut Butter Footballs

Candy Makeover: Peanut Butter Footballs

If you follow any blogs, I am sure you can recall the craze with no bake peanut butter bars over the last few years.  I, too, joined in and made chocolate covered peanut butter eggs last year for Easter. Of course, with a half a cup of butter and two cups of peanut butter in the recipe, they certainly weren’t going... Continue reading »

Tiramisu Chocolate Cups (Low Carb and Gluten-Free)

Tiramisu Chocolate Cups (Low Carb and Gluten-Free)

Chocolate - it's what all women really want, right? Well, to my surprise, I have found that this is not always the case. Through my ever-expanding blogging community, I have discovered that there is a segment of the female population that doesn't really like chocolate. In fact, some of them even go so far as to say...

Superbowl Dinner and Snack Ideas

Superbowl Dinner and Snack Ideas

I’ve never been into football before. However, this year, one of my goals was to learn more about sports I wasn’t familiar with…like tennis, soccer, and football. So now I’m really curious about football. I like to hear the scores and learn some of the rules. It’s kind of fun… Anyway, this post... Continue reading »

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip

So I chose a side. I’m officially rooting for the Giants. Mostly because of my husband’s man-crush on Tom Brady. I like to aggravate him. I’m going to watch the game. Mostly because Pam scolded me when I told her I wasn’t. I’ve got a snack planned even though my husband won’t be... Continue reading »

Pureed Broccoli Soup

Pureed Broccoli Soup

I'm by no means an expert in the kitchen. In fact, the kitchen tends to be a hazardous place for me as I've broken far too many dishes and glasses in my lifetime. Whether it's my favorite mascara or a pair of shoes, I love to share the things I love, so why not share a recipe too?! I'm all about easy, healthy recipes... Continue reading »

Friday Food Craft: Mac N Cheese

Friday Food Craft: Mac N Cheese

Few things are better in the cold rainy weather than creamy, bubbly Mac N Cheese. Even though our weather here has turned surprisingly sunny (albeit still a bit chilly) I had a craving for this tasty treat and decided to set about making an amazing batch. While I did bake it to finish this off, I stand behind the... Continue reading »

Butconut soup!

Butconut soup!

Brrr! Why is it so so so so cold? My house essentially becomes a big brick freezer in the winter. I sit here wearing multiple layers, leggings under jeans, hoodie, a dressing gown over my clothes like a sexy house coat and still I can see my breath. The dog has become a shimmering ice sculpture in the corner and the... Continue reading »

Halftime Chili

Halftime Chili

When we first moved into our house many years ago, the community was new and we had a brand new fire station. Since we had a 2 year old who was completely obsessed with fire trucks, we quickly made friends with our local firefighters. We visited the station often to deliver treats, and they let our son investigate the... Continue reading »
