simple recipes, easy clean-up
I must have a thing for peanut butter and chocolate creations because they come out of my kitchen frequently. This Peanut Butter Pudding with Chocolate Whip Cream was created out of necessity. I’ve been trying my best to “eat clean” these last couple weeks, and I’ve been doing great. One morning I made an egg white breakfast wrap and had 4 egg yolks left over. I decided my family deserved a decadent dessert for putting up with our new lifestyle {Read More}
I may be on a peanut butter and chocolate kick. Can you blame me? It’s only the best flavor combination out there. I bought these Cadbury mini chocolate Easter eggs a while back with intentions on making something sweet for the blog. They sat on top of my fridge for over a week while I racked my brain on something awesome to create. They had to sit on top of the fridge because if they were at eye level, they {Read More}
I’d like to take a minute and thank TLC for helping me to teach my children very important life lessons. The other day my kids and I were watching a cute show on TLC, then it ended and Hoarders began. It was like watching a train wreck. All of us sat there with our jaws in our laps, and a lightbulb went on in my head. I took this opportunity to teach my children a valuable lesson. If they don’t {Read More}
Today is a special day. It’s my husband’s birthday! But more importantly… that means- only 4 more weeks until my birthday!! On your birthday in our house you get your choice of dinner and dessert. My husband has chosen Taco Pizza for dinner followed by his all time favorite dessert – Banana Split. Great combination. (??) A banana split is serious business {according to my husband}. It starts off with a full banana, split right down the center and opened up {Read More}
I’m a sucker for impulse buys. They get me all the time at the grocery store with their clever little displays of chocolate bars conveniently placed at the check out stand. It doesn’t end there. I can recall days when I was 100% sure I needed, no… NEEDED, the “Flex Belt” to effortlessly sculpt my abs while I sat on the couch and ate chocolate bars. My husband would chase me around the house while I was frantically trying to punch {Read More}
Let’s be honest with each other for a moment. As much as we want to spend hours baking, gluing, and glittering the crap out of paper hearts for our children’s classmates, we need to be realistic. There are so many fancy and cute crafts to do all over Pinterest, but I am a mother of 4. My days are filled with laundry, dishes, and feeding my never-ending hungry children. Maybe you don’t have 4 kids, but you do have a {Read More}
I am in limbo right now. I am currently sitting in this tiny hotel room, with kids bouncing from one bed to the next and back again. We finally made it to our new hometown in Canada, but the house we are going to rent is not going to be ready for another couple days. The drive was gut wrenching, with white knuckles grasping onto the steering wheel the ENTIRE time. After 2300 miles, I am perfectly content to just {Read More}
I’m a chocolate and peanut butter addict. I’m sure I’m not alone. So on our first leg of our journey to Canada I started day dreaming about the heavenly combination. I even got out my iPhone and started using my “Dragon Dictation” app to brainstorm and record recipe ideas. {perfectly normal} The idea to make a chocolate cup cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting was very logical. Then I had the idea to drop a Reese’s mini peanut butter cup right {Read More}
I feel like we just barely started 2012 last week, and now we are thisclose to bidding it farewell. This past year has been incredible. I have met so many wonderful bloggers and have sparked such fantastic friendships. I truly feel blessed to be where I am. Just a couple nights ago we said goodbye to our lovely house in Arizona and packed up all our earthly possessions into a 24 foot trailer. We are spending the Holidays with family in Utah before {Read More}
