As my friend Darren would say, “This cake decor gives me life.” It really does! I mean, I knew I wanted to bake with blood oranges since they’re the super hottie of citrus, but when I stirred it all together it looked like when you mix all the slurpie flavors, combine every watercolor paint shade, try to wear all your nail colors at once. Kinda gray/green/sick/gross. I mean, it reminds me of the time I…
Last weekend, while I was in Florida, the second Rock Paper Scissors Craft Mart happened! I was asked to make vendor gifts, and needed to make something that would still be super-fresh and awesome come Sunday. I opted to make my favorite coconut oil granola with dried strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and roasted coconut. P.S. I’m totes selling baked goodness at the next one! They needed 25, so I made 30 just in case. It turns out…
Silk Soymilk has a whole new taste that I find to be super delightful! It reminds me of slightly sweetened cereal milk, and I’m into it. I love it in my favorite frozen banana, honey, and cinnamon smoothie. Don’t be fooled by this smoothie’s khaki ensemble, it’s subtly sweet frosty goodness. It’s super good poured over my favorite crispy coconut oil granola. Popping a few berries on top doesn’t hurt either. It’s one speedy, yet…
Last night a waiter refilled my beer with water. I take these things kinda seriously. I think I high-voiced him, “But that’s my beer!” It shocked me! These cookies, on the other hand, are a pleasant surprise. Because can you believe it’s possible to cream softened coconut oil and sugar together? And that it can make dough that’s as pretty as ice cream? Believe it, sister. So here’s the thing. These cookies are so soft! They…
These taste just like the no bake cookies from my childhood, but they are wearing cupcake outfits. And they have coconut oil in them instead of butter! You could always pipe a tall billowy frosting on top of these guys. They’d be perfect for a birthday party of the toasty variety. Just no bake some cupcakes and live your life! So, these are healthy little morsels to get you through your week. Pair these with a…
Saturday morning I walked the pup and came home starving only to realize I had a measly amount of cereal, and no bread for toasting. Since I like to start my day with carbs, it was a breakfast emergency. I scavenged around and realized I had just the right amount of stuff to make these oatmeal pancakes! I threw the batter together, and gobbled these up with just enough time to get out the door to…
I’m a cereal monster. I’m like Jerry Seinfeld. I love it. It probably has a lot to do with my carb-love. Because of this fact, I knew I needed to make this granola! Cindy’s been raving about it to me, and she knows what’s up. Granola is super-simlple and so tasty! It also looks cute in a jar out on the counter. It has the looks and the personality. Be sure to to sample this…
Do you have your grocery list handy? Add flowers and chocolate, ok? And coconut oil, maybe. What I’m trying to say is, “treat yo ‘self”! You just really deserve it! I’m really excited that I finally have coconut oil in my pantry! Cindy uses it in her granola! Nicole stir-frys with it! I just needed to get with the program. Time to get coconutty with it. So, when I saw these muffin on Smitten Kitchen, I knew they’d be just the thing…
