• De-mystifying the Ice Cream Aisle

  Ice Cream. Summer’s not summer without it, but chances are, your family eats it year round like mine does. You probably have a favorite brand and flavor, but if you’re like us, you’re all about trying new stuff when you see it in the freezer section! Buying ice cream is getting more complicated because of the terms on the box. Like… what does “Superpremium” mean? A good guess is “really super awesome”, but unfortunately, that’s [...]

• A Healthy Blond Brownie? Tessie’s Vegan Chocolate Chip Bars

  This past weekend was loads of fun. Kevin Smith was in town doing one of his Q&A sessions. If you are a Kevin Smith fan, you’ve GOT to get into one of these.

I was SO [...]

• Need S’mores NOW? Here’s how! No Fire Required!

  If you are craving s’mores right now, chance are, you’re not the only one! No less than 4 of my friends on Facebook posted that they were DYING for s’mores last night!! It’s too cold outside for a campfire, and if you live in an apartment, it’s pretty impossible to make s’mores the traditional way. I know some people that beat the craving by eating S’mores cereal, which I understand is sometimes difficult to find these days. [...]

• Chocolate Peppermint Pudding Pie

  This time of year, chocolate and peppermint remember what wonderful friends they are. I’m not sure why they don’t pal around more often, but something about the cold weather brings them back together every holiday season! They very typically join together in cookies and candies, but here is a simple pie recipe to help you and your family remember what a great pair they are! I love this recipe because it’s cheap, fast and DIFFERENT. It’s [...]
