Everyone loves Krispy Treats and, as far as sweet treats go, they aren’t the worst thing you could eat. Depending on the size, one of these is about 150 calories. That’s not too bad. Fun sized candies are about 80 calories each, and these are at least a little more substantial. You can even get… [read more]

Rainbow Cupcakes for Marriage Equality
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same sex marriages are legal in all 5o states, granting equality under the law to everyone. Hoooray! This ruling has no effect on anyone who isn’t a same sex couple. Churches are exempt from discrimination laws. They can refuse to marry gay couples if they want… [read more]
S’more Krispie Treats: You Always Want S’more
Happy National S’Mores Day! To me, nothing says summer like s’mores. Whenever I go to the lake, or have a BBQ, I always buy the fixin’s for s’mores. There’s just something about them that says summer. I make lots of variations on the sweet treat. This year, I’ve made ice cream and pudding based… [read more]
Grilling Gone Bananas: Grilled Desserts
I go through periods where I just want to write, and apparently this is one of them. This is my second post in as many days. I’m also trying to be better about scheduling and posting stuff too. We’ll see how long that lasts. Yesterday was American Independence Day, or a good excuse to grill… [read more]

Cocoa Hoarders Anonymous: Addiction Breaking Brownies
I am I getting my kitchen back together, and discovering that I am a hoarder of some things. I don’t buy many canned vegetables, but I have about 20 cans of green beans. I also have a whole shelf of tomato products (infinitely useful) and, even though I rarely eat it, about 10 boxes of… [read more]
Refrigerated Cookie Dough and Twine
I felt like breaking in my new oven by baking some delicious cookies for a picnic I’m hosting this Saturday. I baked two kinds of cookies: my favorite chocolate chip cookies and some s’mores sandwich cookies I found on Pinterest. I’ll post a preview of the s’mores ones, but they didn’t work quite right, so… [read more]
Want Prehistoric Cabbage? KALE YES You Do
I wrote a little about the nutritional value of kale before, but I neglected to mention what it even is. Kale is actually a subspecies of Brassica oleracea, the same species that contains broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and other super healthy foods. Foodies commonly refer them as “Brassica.” Kale is genetically closer to wild, primitive,… [read more]
Get Steamed: Steamed Banana Pudding
I had 2 overripe bananas sitting on my counter, ready to go bad. I didn’t feel like a smoothie (I bought them for that purpose, but it’s too cold). I don’t like eating overripe bananas raw. I hate throwing them away. So, I googled for quick banana recipes. I found a few, but this warm… [read more]
