Happy Birthday to me!
Okay, so my birthday isn't today - it's tomorrow. But, I won't be around my computer for a day or two since I'll be busy bikini-ing it up at Schlitterbahn (the local water park.)
Work hard, play harder. ..
Read MoreSkinny Lemon Berry Waffles (Cake Mix)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... dry cake mix can be so much fun to play around with!
It's been a really busy few weeks, and the next several to come aren't looking to be any less daunting. Fun. But, exhaustive. I think that must be how we all feel about the summer though, right?...
Read MoreRed, White & Blueberry "Ice Cream"
ith the heat of the summer already rearing it's ugly head here in Texas, I'm gearing up with some fun and healthy cool-me-down treats.
The inspiration for this tasty little number came from one of my go-to sources. However, I wanted something that was a little easier and a lot more healthy!
Faux ice cream is so fun to play around with. I plan on making a lot of variations this summer with all sorts of fruits...
Read MoreStrawberry & Peach Chia Jam
Chia seeds are rather fascinating to me. I've often seen them tossed into rather healthy and often the most simple of recipes. They are really fun to play around with.
Don't be scared of them if you've never tried them! My mom is a little leery since the only other time she heard of them was back when 'Chia Pets' were popular. I suppose she's scared she'll start to sprout foliage. Anyway, I can't wait for her to try this jam!...

This BBQ Sauce is amazing!
How amazing? I'm making some more tomorrow to take to my parents house for a BBQ and still have one more thing planned this week to do with it after that.
I was fortunate enough to get a bottle of Musselman's Apple Butter sent to me this week, at no cost. I immediately began to do research. What could I do with a bottle of apple butter? I found that there were so many things to do with it that I couldn't settle on just one.
I'm pretty fond of apple butter, but it's generally something that I use in the fall. Then it struck me. BBQ! And what's better? BBQ sauce!...
Read MoreBaked Whole Wheat Corn Dogs
With baseball and BBQs in full swing I thought it would be the perfect time to bake up some homemade corn dogs!
My little girl is a bit of a hot dog snob, so... I had to really hit it out of the park this time. With only 4 hot dogs left in the house, I didn't have room for failure today.
It's fun (and a bit challenging sometimes) to give her healthier alternatives to foods that all kids grow up with!...
