Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
Why on earth did I put off buying popsicle molds for so long?? These star-shaped cutie pies were a mere $7.99 at Marshalls, and are both dishwasher safe and BPA free. However, you could certainly use little paper cups and popsicle sticks from a craft store to make these. Regardless of what vessel you choose,…
Here we go! Recipe # 2 of “Tropical Week”. As many of you are well aware, I eat ice cream and frozen yogurt throughout the year, (yes, even during the frigid New England winters), but it is around this time that my yearning for frozen treats is pushed into high gear. I’m especially drawn to…
I saved the best 2014 Thanksgiving leftovers recipe for last! I know you’re probably SO over seeing pumpkin recipes from food bloggers right about now, but if – like me – you are also sick of looking at the leftover pumpkin pie sitting in your fridge (and stealing bites every now and then… ssshhh!) then…
Let’s take a moment to silently thank Gena for introducing the foodie blog world to the now well-known – and widely enjoyed – Banana Soft Serve. I for one have never tasted anything so decadent that consisted merely of one simple ingredient. When the weather turns warm, I freeze mass quantities of bananas for the sole purpose of…
I clearly haven’t learned my lesson when it comes to trying to take decent photos of dinner recipes once the sun starts its descent in late summer/early fall. The first time I made this pizza was in early September of 2011. Sure, I could have taken the photos outside as I did for this post, but it…
The creative geniuses responsible for the scrumptious peanut butter flavors offered by Peanut Butter & Co. have my undying admiration and affection. Dark Chocolate Dreams. Mighty Maple. The Bee’s Knees. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Although all of the varieties are decadent, sweet, and downright delicious, my favorite pick from the peanut butter pantry is White Chocolate Wonderful….
Despite returning to 50+° weather in Boston, (which is actually quite mild for this time of year in New England), I could not stop dreaming about the island flavors of Barbados. I brainstormed dozens of Caribbean-inspired recipes during the 2-legged, twice-delayed flight back home, but I kept coming back to an idea for Piña Colada Macaroons…
As I mentioned in the Maple Baked Brie post, my original intention for the maple contest was to make maple pudding; but it didn’t end up being all that great. What did end up being great were the popsicles that the pudding turned into! I think the cool weather is here to stay in New England, but…
No added sugar. No flour. No eggs. No chickpeas (yes, that’s actually a common ingredient in healthy cookie dough recipes). No butter or oil. So what IS in this edible cookie dough? Healthy ingredients that combine to create a delectable concoction that tastes like cookie dough. Who wouldn’t want to go to town on a jar…
What you don’t need to know (but I’m going to tell you anyway): these truffles were a pain in the you-know-what to photograph, hence the measly two images in this post. What you do need to know (and I’m definitely going to tell you): these truffles are really, really good. The inside is raw macaroon dough studded with grated…
