  • Avocado, Chicken, and Chick Pea Lunch Wrap

    Avocado, Chicken, and Chick Pea Lunch Wrap

    I think it’s normal for children to dread what their mother’s prepare for them. I mean, my mother used to think calling red peppers “candies” would magically make me like them. Only most children outgrow this. And I’ve rather grown into it. Instead, I’d prefer to share in the kids meals with my 9 and…

  • Smores Dip: bananas with chocolate, peanut butter, and fluff

    Smores Dip: bananas with chocolate, peanut butter, and fluff

    You know what I’ve been noticing recently? That about half of the desserts I want to make recently have called for sweetened condensed milk. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to add it to this recipe… Smores Dip: bananas with chocolate, peanut butter, and fluff! Remember how I mentioned this on Saturday? How I fulfilled my Friday chocolate…

  • Pizza with Dad

    Pizza with Dad

    Did you know that Pillsbury makes pizza crust? YUM. You literally just roll it out, add your toppings, and stick it in the oven. My father and I made a plain jane pizza, you can seen some awkward photos here! My father realizing we need to move the pizza from a baking sheet to a…

  • Caramel & Bones

    Caramel & Bones

    Friday should be amazing. Always. So when I woke up tired, went to work tired, sat through an interview tired, and took the slowest bus home tired, I was pretty cranky. (And cranky needs to be read in the most whiney voice. If you know Sara, please read it in her voice.) The fix? All day watching…

  • Buffalo BBQ Wings

    Buffalo BBQ Wings

    So there’s this delicious Florida restaurant called Gator’s Dockside and they make amazing grilled wings in their own “scooter sauce”. It’s bbq and honey garlic heaven! (And I am not a bbq sauce fan.) Unfortunately, we don’t have a Gator’s Dockside location in my home town. Heading over to our own local restaurant, my dad and I…

Plus, it only required one ingredient: bananas! Of course, I wanted the spruced up version: peanut butter & chocolate, too!…

  • Homemade Lemonade

    Homemade Lemonade

    After my recent visit to the dentist (and her listing off all the acidic drinks that are bad for my teeth… soda, tea, juices, lemonade… wait, lemonade?! I want some!) I realized there was one thing missing from my life. Lemonade. And, even though my dentist had told me it was bad for your teeth,…
