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}
Shrimp Pad Thai ranks in the top 10 of my all time favorite dishes. If you ever go to a Thai restaurant and you’re not sure what to order, go with the Pad Thai. It almost never disappoints. If you’re in the need of a quick and tasty dinner recipe at home, then you should also go with Pad Thai. This dish has a nutty sauce that is bold and flavorful, with just a kick of spice. You can completely customize {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}
Did you know that October is National Popcorn Month? Yeah, pretty sweet right!? I thought I would come up with a fun popcorn treat to share with you for this month long celebration. Who doesn’t love Muddy Buddies?! It’s the combination of creamy peanut butter and melty chocolate drizzled all over Chex cereal, then coated with a nice helping of powdered sugar. Well this is National Popcorn Month, not National Cereal Month…so obviously we have to coat some popcorn in peanut {Read More}
I love peanut butter. It’s hard not to love the creamy, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth goodness. So naturally I would love anything that involves peanut butter. Like say…Pad Thai. (Which is what I order every time we go to a Thai restaurant). Or… Thai Chicken Satay with a Peanut Dipping Sauce… Tender pieces of chicken marinated in peanut butter, coconut milk, lime, brown sugar and soy sauce then grilled to perfection. It pairs so nicely with a simple spicy peanut dipping sauce. You can {Read More}
Ok peeps, listen up! This lady I am about to introduce to you, could very well be my “sista-from-anotha-mista” . Krista is the genius behind Budget Gourmet Mom, and also a dear friend of mine. We first met in the blogging universe over a year and a half ago…maybe longer. It wasn’t until this past May that we actually met in person, and I am not joking when I say we are two of a kind. She has 4 kids, {Read More}
These aren’t just your typical brownies. These are “in-your-face” brownies. I am sorry to have to do this to you… these will definitely ruin any diet plan you have going on right now. But trust me, one bite is worth the calories. These fudge brownies are rich and ooey-gooey. They are kicked up a notch with a layer of decadent peanut butter filling reminiscent of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Then I send it over the top with a layer of {Read More}
