The fall season brings so much stress. First we have the back to school season, and that is immediately followed by the holiday season. This also just happens to be the time that is the busiest for my business. With everything going on, it is absolutely essential that I am feeling well and have plenty of energy. One thing that I find helps with this is Emergen-C®. Today I’m going to tell you why Emergen-C is a fall must-have for me, and I’ve got a delicious “better for you” popsicle recipe featuring the product!

Emergen-C is a dietary supplement. It comes in powder form that, when mixed with water, makes a delicious fizzy drink that’s great for a morning pick me up or as an electrolyte replacement after your workout. It also provides a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants for immune support and B vitamins to enhance your energy without caffeine. [Read more…]

Gingerbread Cookie Milkshake

February 3, 2015 14 Comments

I’m an absolute FIEND when it comes to frozen treats. I especially love ICEES and milkshakes. Chocolate has always been a classic favorite of mine, but I never pass up the chance to try a new flavor. A few years ago around Christmas time, Burger King had a Gingerbread Cookie Milkshake. Oh my goodness! That thing was SO good! Every fall and holiday season I hope they will bring this yummy treat back, but so far I’ve been out of luck!

Finally I did some searching and found a few different recipes for gingerbread shakes and other treats. And I finally made my own Gingerbread Cookie Milkshake at home! The secret ingredient (besides these adorable little Pepperidge Farm Gingerbread Cookies) is a little molasses! I have to admit, when I first looked at all the different cookie and shake recipes calling for molasses, I was really thrown! Even as I was making the milkshake, I tasted a tiny bit of molasses and thought, “Ugh! How is THIS going to taste good?”

But amazingly it totally WORKS! The shake turned out absolutely perfect! It met my expectations and so much more! So if you like gingerbread cookies and you like milkshakes, you simply have to try this recipe! [Read more…]

Easy Apple Pie Ice Cream

June 11, 2014 3 Comments

Nothing says summer quite like ice cream. As a kid we used to make homemade ice cream every couple weeks from Memorial Day and Labor Day, but the process of filling and cranking the ice cream maker was arduous. While I would love to continue the homemade ice cream tradition with my own kids, cranking the machine for 4 hours is just not practical. Instead, we’ve found a much simpler way to create delicious flavored ice cream while still going about our summer activities. I’ll usually whip up the concoction just before we head out to the park or the pool, so that by the time we get home we can relax on the porch and indulge.

This recipe is super easy and leaves much room for variation. My favorite ice cream flavor we’ve tried is by far the all-American apple pie. We’ve tried other flavorings and all have been great (including some adventures with chocolate and peanut butter) but apple pie stands out as the crowd favorite in my home.
