(I apologize all of these pictures are kind of blurry taken with my HTC One...only I would stick a full SD card in my DSLR at the last minute and not have time to swap it to take pictures.) After my huge success (to me) with my Dirt Bike Cake back in July, I planned … Continue reading Filled Zebra Cupcakes
We did a few things right and a few things wrong with our whole moving process and one thing I'm glad I did was prepping food in advance. On the actual moving day, we bought a few pizzas and subs, but for the rest of the week, and for quick foods, I baked and froze … Continue reading Moving Weekend Meal Prep
I've been baking and freezing as much food as I can for our moving weekend, and I recently stumbled upon this recipe for Earl Grey Muffins over at Just Bento. I followed the recipe, but I found that they weren't really sweet enough for me (and I am not a fan of overly sweet things), so … Continue reading Earl Grey Muffins with Citrus Drizzle
This is one of my favorite smoothies. It tastes just like a pink Starburst. Ingredients: Frozen strawberries Pineapple (fresh, frozen, or canned) Coconut water (I usually buy the plain coconut water not Goya brand, because Goya adds sugar and other weird stuff, but this was the only one they had at the store.) Pinch of … Continue reading Recipe: Pink Starburst Smoothie
I found pictures of this raw chocolate cake/brownie that I made a while ago and wanted to share. Even though this isn't a traditional cake, I love it so much more because there is only real, raw foods in it. There are a lot of dates, and dates are high in sugar, so it's still … Continue reading Raw Chocolate Cake
I got really excited when I saw Tofutti ricotta at the grocery store, so we spur of the moment had lasagna for dinner. It's homemade as opposed to frozen...but I used packaged noodles and a spaghetti sauce we really like. I also just kind of threw in whatever veggies we had, next time I'll add … Continue reading Very Lazy Veggie Lasagna
I love libraries so much. I love testing out books (and dvds) and then buying the ones I love. I have a horrible habit of buying books and reading them once (or only reading half of them), or having buyers remorse when I can't get into them. It's taken me almost 2 years of … Continue reading Review: Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook
Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
This was totally spur of the moment so I didn't take good measurements, but it came out really tasty and I think it's pretty fool proof. It's vegan and gluten free, and could probably be sugar free. I'm not a fan of any sugar really, but I've been playing around with coconut sugar lately. I … Continue reading 5 Minute Double Chocolate Protein Mush Brownie
