These popsicles are so creamy and delicious, I could eat them for every meal. OK, more specifically, breakfast. I ate them for breakfast. What? Don’t judge, they’re actually very healthy! It was the perfect start to the day, especially with some of my favorite zucchini bread! If you’re not a fan of avocados, don’t worry, you can barely taste it. They taste […]

I’ve discovered a few hidden talents this week! First, I can talk to cats! My Dad got a couple of kittens this weekend and the poor little things were just heartbroken and not eating. On a long shot, I decided to call to them like a momma cat. This wasn’t just an ordinary, half-hearted meow. It was a very distinct […]

Most people don’t exactly know what that is and assume it’s either to help lose weight or just means I can’t eat wheat bread. I actually had a few people say “well you can still eat white bread, right?” umm.. no. No […]

I have a large family and we try to get together 1-2 times a month for afternoon snacks/dinner. There’s usually about 15-30 of us depending on who is there and if they’ve brought friends or dates. When you’re feeding that size crowd it’s important to keep something on hand that’s easy, inexpensive and delicious. Much like me, they all have a sweet tooth, so brownies are […]
