I know, I know, this food blog was a little quiet in April and part of May and then in the last couple weeks I have hit you hard with amazing desserts. Here’s the thing – I was super busy traveling, getting ready to move and trying to eat super healthy and lose some weight. I can’t…

I’m going to be honest, I am on a roll this weekend. I haven’t made too many treats since returning from Hawaii in February and jumping feet first into a healthy eating kick. I caught a glimpse of myself in a swimsuit on video that trip and it wasn’t good. Clearly, this Memorial Day weekend is…

Today was a sad and happy day all at the same time! Our Illinois neighbors threw us a going away party since we are saying goodbye to IL at the end of the month. Sad because we LOVE these friends and hate to leave them behind but happy because we are ready for our new…

Yep, still on my healthy eating kick and I’m at three weeks and going strong. I’m not sure how much weight I’ve lost because I didn’t weigh myself at the beginning. I knew I gained some weight over the holidays, and honestly, didn’t want to know how much. Plus, the scale is just a mean,…

I want to be honest, I’ve done this post today more for me than you. It’s the new year, so it is time to get serious about dropping a few pounds. Like most people, I think I say that every year after the holidays. After plowing through Chocolate Pretzel Crisps, Pumpkin Cake, and endless cookies,…

Did you know that peanut butter has about 100 uses? I sure didn’t. Surprisingly, a ton of the uses aren’t even food related! I have to say, I think the best use for peanut butter is to be paired with chocolate and eaten by me. But here are 30 other creative uses I’ve found for…

Beware! If you are on a diet (which is just wrong during the holidays, by the way!), you might want to steer clear of my food posts for the next week or so. Holiday baking is in full effect at my house! Cakes, brownies, cookies, candy – we are making it all. This morning we…

Have you ever thought about making your own Christmas candies instead of buying a box from the store? I’ve always wanted to try my hand at homemade candies and with Christmas soon approaching I thought it only fitting that I round up some must make Christmas candies! I hope you find a few that sound…
