Banana Peanutbutter Cup Froyo

My FroYo obsession is obvious if you see my Instagram.

Hello Lovelies!

Ok, so if you follow me on Instagram you've probably gathered that I have a ridiculous obsession with froyo.  I post about it probably once a week and eat it maybe more than that. Luckily this "healthy" alternative is a little bit better than softserve ice cream, but it is definitely not cheaper. That, and when a craving hits, I'm not always able to jump up and leave the house.

Raspberry Lemonade Macorons

Hello, lovelies!

Macarons (or "mac-ah-rhons" as said in my terrible french accent) are ridiculously popular right now. That is a-ok with me. I've got to say, these are a fairly intimidating cookie to make, and I've had my share of fails... but when you finally get it, it is SOOOOOO worth it! I literally burnt the first batch that came out with "feet" because I was so excited I felt the need to dance around my kitchen. I totally forgot that I hadn't taken them out of the oven. Whoops.

Oh well. Now that I've gotten that litte thrill out of the way, I feel fairly capable of making these adorable little treats. Hopefully after my fails (which have led to quite a bit of new found wisdom) I will be able to steer you a little clearer. Be sure to fully read through this recipe and watch the video before starting, and you should be fine. Should be... (even if they don't turn out with fancy little feet, they still taste pretty damned good!)

Pesto Mashed Potatoes

Hello, Lovelies!

I was really struggling with a St. Patrick recipe this year. I don't know what it is... I knew I wanted to do something that could and would be eaten year round, but was festive enough for leprechauns. What I came up with is actually nothing particularly new in my recipe rotation. Mashed Potatoes! How much more festive can you get than potatoes? Well, how about green ones?

Apple Chips: A Healthy Autumn Snack

Apple chips are one of my favorite "healthy" snacks. The one problem is that they are so darned expensive. I mean really, $6 of a 2 oz bag!? Luckily, I live in New England and it just so happens to be apple picking season... And you know that means that I dragged poor Jenn out with me (on a "partly" rainy day) to go traipsing around a local farm. We collected more apples that either of us knew what to do with. My solution? Apple chips.
