Today I’m excited to have Karen from From the Garden Table. Karen has prepared a delicious looking treat, which I personally think would be perfect for fall or the upcoming fall season.

We are definitely home bodies. My husband would rather stay home on the weekends that go out any day, and I generally feel the same way. A trip to Walmart is like an adventure for me! But I’m even happier just staying home when I’ve got great food (and especially desserts) to eat!
Although I enjoy a trip to the Ice Cream Parlor or Cupcake Shop just as much as the next girl (okay….honestly I probably enjoy it MORE than most children..) I have to say there is nothing like homemade ice cream to make your summer days fun, cool, and sweet!
To a lot of people, homemade ice cream means sitting around, turning a crank, listening to a much of noise, and generally a lot of trouble, not to mention the cost of the ice cream freezer (if you don’t already have one) which can be $50 and even $100. BUT today I’m showing you how to enjoy a little homemade ice cream treat without all that hassle!
I searched the web until I found a super easy No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream, and then I doctored it up with a little chocolate and cookie dough, to create a decadent No-Churn Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream! [Read more…]

The summer season is known as a time for vacations and fun in the sun, but it is also the season for home improvement and a little DIY fun. Today I’m going to give you a quick run down on some of the things I’m working on this summer, and I’ll tell you about how I refuel with Dr Pepper and Snickers.
When you’re doing any kind of work or activities outside, a Snickers and Dr Pepper really hit the spot. Dr Pepper 20 oz bottles and SNICKERS 2-to-Go Bars are not only the perfect portion size for a quick snack, but they are also conveniently located near the check out line at your local Walmart. I recently shopped at Walmart and picked up a few for myself: [Read more…]

Key Lime Pie on a Stick
June 24, 2014 3 Comments
What could be better than a slice of Key Lime Pie in the summer? How about Key Lime Pie on stick? Today our friends at 2CookinMamas.com are showing us how to make this yummy creation. Hope you enjoy!
Hi! I’m Linda and I blog with my daughter Christina on 2CookinMamas.com. We love to cook, eat and repeat and often do so with a mama’s cocktail in hand! But…we lead a double life, in the kitchen that is. I enjoy making yummy desserts and gourmet meals while Christina enjoys gluten-free cooking. We both work outside the kitchen too so all our dishes are created to be quick and easy for Moms-on-the-go. Christina is a certified nutritionist & DDP Yoga instructor and I’m a VP of Marketing & Sales. We recently published our very first cookbook for the expecting Mom: The Pregnancy Cookbook, which has over 60 delicious, healthy, quick & easy recipes as well as nutrition tips for Mom and baby. We’d love for you to stop on by and grab a recipe or just say hi! And if you try one of our recipes please let us know by leaving a comment and sharing the love!
Jerri was nice enough to extend an invitation to us to be guest bloggers on her “Summer Themed” recipe series. We are thrilled and we can’t think of a better blog to be associated with. Thanks Jerri and now on to the recipe.
Summer always brings to mind the Florida Keys. Living in South Florida, we are only about 2 hours away from the northernmost key, Key Largo, and about 4 hours from Key West, so it is only a hop, skip and a jump to get away for the weekend. And the Keys are so laid back, I mean really laid back, so much so that you feel like you are a world away from the mainland.
One of our favorite desserts that seems to only be offered in the Keys is Key Lime Pie on a Stick. What is that you say? Well, it is a cold and refreshing piece of tart key lime pie, graham cracker crust and all, coated in sweet chocolate, and stuck on a stick for easy eating. Our version is smaller and rectangular instead of pie shape but just as mouth wateringly delicious as the original. Great for kids and adults alike on these hot summer days. Hope you enjoy!
