The weekend before Thanksgiving, Benzo and I had some family over for dinner that we knew we wouldn't get to see for the holiday. I went back and forth on what to make for dessert before finally settling on brownies from a mix with a cookies and cream variation that was on the back of… Continue reading Peanut Butter Frosted Brownie Bites

Vegan Cocoa Brownies
When Jack was three months old our doctor suggested I take dairy out of my diet while I'm nursing Jack. I did and have been completely dairy free (minus a few slip ups) ever since. In the past I've been on a low dairy diet where I avoided dairy for the most part but did… Continue reading Vegan Cocoa Brownies

Farm Animal Cake Pops
I want to be honest right up front: I did not make these amazing cake pops! These were made by my friend Jenni. She made them for the same church function for which I made the Funk bars. The theme of the night was Hee-Haw, so she made farm animal cake pops including a cute… Continue reading Farm Animal Cake Pops

Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut “Cookies”
When I set out to make these cookies last night, I did not intend to loop this post back to breakfast again. Yet that seems to be what happened. Last night after a nutritious dinner of cereal 😉 Benzo and I were lounging around watching American Idol when we both really wanted something sweet. I've had… Continue reading Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut “Cookies”

Happy Valentine’s Day
Yesterday when I logged into WordPress I noticed immediately that the hits on my blog have been climbing steadily over the past few days and were at one of their highest peaks yesterday. I thought to myself, "that's odd, considering I haven't posted in over a week." Then I looked at the stats and saw… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day

Snow Cream
Yesterday was the "snowpocalypse" here in Kansas. It started snowing Sunday night and did not stop until Tuesday morning. There's snow everywhere. And it is not going to melt anytime soon as the high temperature tomorrow is 13 degrees F (the low tonight is -5 degrees F!). Here's a glimpse of the snowpocalypse in my… Continue reading Snow Cream
