The other day I was strolling through Walmart {cause I’m cool like that} and I came across these Butter Flavor Crisco baking sticks. I was slightly intrigued. Butter flavored Crisco…. hmm… On the package there is a picture of some tasty looking cookies and it gave me an idea. I’m going to try out some Butter Flavored Crisco and make some cookies with it. Then I thought I would bake some cookies with 1/2 Crisco and 1/2 Butter, and then make {Read More}
Someone really needs to slap the coconut out of my hands. I’m addicted. It’s a good thing too, because I had a craving for some type of fruity and rich ice cream. Then I remembered how much I love the creamy tropical goodness of a Piña Colada; and the Piña Colada Ice Cream was born. It’s full of crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, cream, and just a hint of rum extract {yeah, it’s kid friendly too!}. Then, because I’m so smart, {Read More}
I might be on a coconut kick lately. But is that really a bad thing? I don’t think so. I think it’s good. I think it’s real real good. Last week I received a jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to review. After learning more about their company, and all the uses for coconut oil, I was more than delighted to try it out. What better way to start off than with using it to fry up {Read More}
… with toasted coconut. Talk about an interesting combination. But trust me, it works. It works wonderfully. You see, waaaay back in May when I attended Camp Blogaway, the National Mango Board introduced me to a Mango S’more. It was a gingerbread cookie with a roasted marshmallow. Then I topped mine with sweet mango slices toasted coconut, and drizzled it with caramel. It was epic. Something about that sweet mango and gingerbread cookie really stuck with me. I wanted needed {Read More}
Is it Pina Colada weather yet? Well, I don’t drink the hard stuff, but the creamy, slushy mixture of coconut and pineapple tends to bring out the giggles in me. No alcohol needed for these cute little guys! Just a fun twist on your classic coconut macaroon. A creamy and fruity cookie that is quick to make and will disappear even quicker at your next tropical themed party! By adding those sweet bits of pineapple to this cookie, you get a burst of {Read More}
I think my all time favorite cookie has to be the Girl Scout’s Samoa Cookies. They are the perfect combination of crunch, chewy, chocolate and just the right amount of coconut. I’m not going to lie, I signed my oldest daughter up for Girl Scouts last spring just to ensure that I wouldn’t miss out on my chance to buy some. Only later I found out that Moms are asked to volunteer and run most of the show… pass. I mean, {Read More}
I’ll have you know, this all started from my sister-in-law. You see, she is the one who introduced me to the awesome-ness in which we call, “Tres Leches.” It means three milks. It’s a light fluffy cake that is soaked in heavenly goodness. I had a taste while visiting her in Utah over Spring Break and it’s been on my mind ever since. Then, The Man brought me home a store made Tres Leches Cake for Mother’s Day, and I {Read More}
I have to apologize for my lack of new stuff going up here. Some people may be able to multi-task much more easily than I can. You see, I have become somewhat obsessed with this whole Philadelphia Cream Cheese contest. I have started dreaming about new recipes involving cream cheese. Sad. Although… Tasty. The other day I had to go do that dreaded glucose testing that we are subject to when we are pregnant. You know the one… drink this {Read More}
I haven’t always liked coconut. It’s one of those things that grew on me as I got older. I guess what really grew on me were those delicious little Almond Joy candy bars. I don’t know if it’s the almond, the coconut, or chocolate…but they are one devine treat. Speaking of devine – I just adore brownies. I mean- the corner brownie. {am I alone here?} Some may like the ooey-gooey center pieces, but I prefer the crustier corner piece. {Read More}
