Because of all the craziness of this summer, I didn't make Alex a birthday cake. Blasphemous, I know. His birthday was almost two months ago and I owe him a cake. Even though I bake him a cake every year, he never expects one. Alex is quite simple when it comes to birthdays.
Last week I asked followers of my Facebook page to suggest some naughty foods they wanted to be 'healthanized'. I always have tonnes of ideas of my own, but figured it would be nice to open up the question to you guys...what indulgent foods would you like a healthier version of?
A no-bake pie (or is it cheesecake?) that starts with a simple graham cracker crust filled with silky white chocolate filling and a finale of homemade sweet cherry topping. The perfect showstopping dessert for summer! Depending on where you live, baking in the summer can sound rather unappealing.
Here are 3 songs I listened to while making this tart. Just because: Relations : Kenna featuring Childish Gambino Wanderlust : The Weeknd (Pharrell remix...
Oreo Cheesecake makes a favorite dessert recipe! Made with a chocolate crust, creamy cheesecake, and filled with Oreos, it disappears quickly! There is this cookie that my son can absolutely not refuse. Wait. What am I talking about? There are several cookies my son can't refuse. His Mama either.
by Brandon Matzek These buttery beauties are flavored with cinnamon, dark brown sugar, and honey then topped with turbinado and smoked sea salt. With each salty-sweet bite, a feeling of nostalgia is almost guaranteed, whisking you back to those adolescent times when graham crackers were consumed frequently and in great quantities.
Vanilla Almond Cupcakes: These classic vanilla almond cupcakes are rich, decadent, and so delicious. Soft and dense and topped with the fluffiest frosting, these cupcakes are what dreams are made of. No, really. It's a white cupcake with white frosting and packed with almond and vanilla flavoring. It's practically angelic.
An easy overnight apple french toast bake. Topped with a cinnamon, pecan & brown sugar oat streusel. Perfect for breakfast or brunch. Now that my lil guy is in school during the week, I look forward to weekends even more than before.
COCONUT MARGARITA SUGAR COOKIES are insanely good! Lime zest, coconut tequila and sugar make the best cookie for summer! Cinco de Mayo is the first signal of summer for me. Living in Arizona and California the last ten plus years I have had a lot of Mexican food and to me it really is the food of summer.
Guys, it's officially November! My favorite month of the year! And not just because it is my birthday month, but because I love, love Thanksgiving and everything around it. {Although, I suppose it does help that my birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year...} As always, the first of the month bring us a new Friends First post!
