Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.
That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...

I still can't believe that The Skinny Fork is almost 5 years old! As time goes on, I continue to go back and revisit older recipes, and this is just one of them that desperately needed an update in the looks department. As usual, everything else has remained the same!
Mac-n-cheese is purely a comfort food. It is one thing that is always in stock in my home and one of the few things that I can count on my daughter readily filling her belly with - without any epic battles...

There isn't much that's prettier than this hummus right here. I mean... look at it. It's perfectly gorgeous. Roasted beets make for the beautiful fuschia pink hue in this hummus that is sure stand out any time of year but especially around Valentine's Day.
Hummus is super easy to make, and it will save you a ton of money to make yourself too! Plus, you have complete control over what goes into it. And let's face it... It's just fun to eat pretty stuff. You eat with your eyes first...

Mornings. Am I right? Even though I consider myself a morning person, they are still taxing on everyone. Even me. As I was sipping on my coffee this morning while waiting for my daughter to finish getting her shoes, she asked me if I was going to eat breakfast. She couldn't understand why I hadn't eaten already and how I wasn't hungry.
Such is the way of a mom. Of course, I was hungry! But there's just no time until after I get her off to school. Once the mad dash getting her off to class is over, that's when I get to finally eat. And even then, I'll escape breakfast some days. That's why I make myself meal prep breakfast. If it's already 'ready' then I have no excuses to skip out on the most important meal of the day. This is the start of something great...

When I think of Valentine's Day, I think of red velvet cake. I think that's because it's so perfectly bright and red and just looks like it's full of love. And this one right here? It's made with love too.
As far as cooking goes, baking has always been one of my favorite things to do. Even though it can be one of the most difficult, especially when it comes to adjusting and altering recipes to be better-for-you. Let's face it, baking is a science and requires it's fair share of accuracy. There's very little wiggle room for error, which makes me a nervous mess. Trial and error are the name of the game...

Can you believe that it's been almost 5 years since I started The Skinny Fork? How exciting! 5 years can make such a big difference. I look back at old recipes when I make them again and often end up retaking the photos. With these Skinny Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls being one of my favorites, I thought I would go back and blow the dust off and give it a bit of a facelift. As usual, the recipe is the same, though I did add pressure cooker instructions! Here's the original as written!
I've been going about this all wrong.
I've made buffalo chicken egg rolls about a million times now. And this past week when I was buying some egg roll wrappers, they were all sold out. Of course. Desperate, I asked one of the clerks who mentioned there were some other options in the frozen section...
