Smoothie Talk!

green smoothie

Hi Friends! A while back, I made a post about green smoothies. They rock and you can have so much fun with them. You can add all different kinds of fruit and greens and juices to change the flavors. Well I am so excited! I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to check out their new Magic Bullets. I tried finding this new version online, but I can't find it anywhere, not even on Bed Bath & Beyond's website! But the blade is much better and they come with LIDS and STRAWS! WOOHOO! This is huge … [Read more...]

Pecan pie is my favorite (check out the one I made for Thanksgiving!), but I wanted a quick cookie recipe so I went with pecan sandies. I had actually never made them and I am not sure if what I made is the true version of a pecan sandie... but they were delicious!

Pumpkin Biscotti

A while back I posted my basic biscotti recipe. It's pretty awesome and you can add whatever your little heart desires in order to fit your taste buds. I mentioned my pumpkin biscotti because the recipe is very different. Pumpkin is something that when you bake with, well, it kinda changes everything! It can take the place of eggs and oil while giving awesome flavor to whatever you are cooking. I made a bunch of biscotti for my Dad to take to work and this is one that I just sort of made … [Read more...]
