No-Churn Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream and Cleaning up with Wet Naps

August 11, 2014 2 Comments

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…]

School is starting here this week, and with the start of a new school year, after school snacks are a MUST! This year our son will be a “big 9th grader.” With a course load of pre-ap classes, as well as marching band and other school activities, it is sure to be a fun and exciting, yet challenging year! This fall will be especially hectic, as he will have band practice 3 days a week, plus his Friday football game activities participation. (And let’s not forget homework!) [Read more…]

Upscale Magic Bars

July 1, 2014 3 Comments

Today we have a guest recipe from our friend Carrie of A Mother’s Shadow. Today Carrie is sharing her Upscale Magic Bars with us. I can tell just by looking at them that they are very sweet and right up my alley! And hey, anything with the word magic in the name is bound to be delicious! Please go over and check out all the great recipes on Carrie’s blog!

My Grandma Shirley gave me a recipe years ago for “Hello Dolly” cookie bars.

I decided to tweak it and make it a bit upscale for a delightful treat.

Toasting the nuts and the coconut brings out a wonderful flavor that changes these bars from good to fabulous!

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!

If you’ve ever uttered the phrase, “Two for me, none for you,” then today’s post is definitely for you. TWIX® Bites are a delicious, bite-sized version of the TWIX candy bar. They come in a nice little pouch, making them a convenient snack for you to take along with you on car trips and outings. TWIX Bites also happen to make a fabulous ingredient for your desserts.. I recently purchased TWIX Bites, along with a bag of Milky Way Bites, and I used them to make a couple of cool treats, perfect for any hot summer day!
