A healthier snack to pull you out of your afternoon slump I'm the biggest contradiction ever - when it comes to healthy eating that is. From 6am to 1 pm, I stay on track. I usually have the same thing for breakfast - yogurt (and sometimes granola) and lunch (almost always salad,) but as soon as I have that last bite of salad, I'm craving something else - and it always goes downhill from there. That's why I needed a healthier afternoon treat. When I was making these, I was really ...
Chocolate Granola
Chocolate and granola meet in this delicious breakfast treat When I was growing up, I had the same routine every morning. For some reason, I would get up extra early. My mom left early for work and my dad worked 2nd shift. It was my responsibility to wake my dad up to get me ready for school. While I waited for 7:30 to roll around, I watched my favorite shows like Aladdin and Saved by the Bell. To my dad's dismay, his least favorite show came on when I woke him up - Timon & Pumba! I ...
Carrot Cake Pop Tarts
Cake and pie meet in this delicious spring treat I went on an unexpected Easter egg hunt yesterday. Every morning I take Winston for a walk. I always go through a check list before we leave - bags (for clean up,) key, phone. I always use the RunKeeper app and start it as soon as we leave. I didn't remember starting it, but it wouldn't be like me not to. It was a typical walk except for the moderate rainfall. Once, we got home I put my hand in my pocket to stop the app and was ...
Hummingbird Granola
Granola filled with the flavors of spring There's big news at the TEB household - we have kittens! I'm obsessed with cats, so you know I went wild when I heard the news. I actually couldn't believe it. See - this female cat started coming by each day at the same time and same place. The first time I saw her I thought she was "in heat," so I joked that we would be having kittens soon - but I didn't mean in two days! It turns out she had the kittens in our backyard. We have owls ...
{Vegan} Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
An easy vegan ice cream made with coconut milk So, really all of my recipes are vegan. Did you know that? Sometimes I don't emphasize it, but I try to make all my recipes vegan without the sometimes nasty vegan substitutes (uhh familiar with using ground flax seed as an egg substitute? Sorry, but I'm not a fan. Applesauce all the way!) I'm not vegan, but I am vegetarian (today's my 10 month anniversary!) Really, we can thank my dad for introducing my family to a vegan/vegetarian ...
