Sprinkles of Real Life

February 21, 2014 by Melissa

Salted Caramels

I'd like to talk real life for a moment. Some Sprinkles of Real Life, if you please.    [straight from my Instagram] How was your week? Mine was…honestly, terrible. Crazy. I’m sitting here, drinking a drink that’s incredibly green (I'm loving the Evolution Fresh, Essential Greens with Lime), and I’m taking solace in handfuls of honey roasted cashews from the Fresh Market … [Read more...]

Homemade Herb Mustard

February 19, 2014 by Melissa

Homemade Herb Mustard is a perfect, easy way to start your homemade pantry. You'll never want to buy mustard again after you try this homemade version on your hot dogs, chicken, sandwiches, cottage cheese, or wherever you please.    I've always thought I'd like to start making my own condiments. The problem with that, though, is that buying them is just so darn easy! Really, … [Read more...]

Creamy Millet Porridge

February 17, 2014 by Melissa

Creamy Millet Porridge is a hearty, satisfying breakfast and a perfect alternative to oatmeal. Make it the night before to reheat and eat for a quick, easy breakfast.      Have you been watching the Olympics this week? We definitely have. But, is it just me or...are we kind of biting it a lot lately? I don't feel that same "this is my life and I HAVE to have the Gold … [Read more...]

Decadent Waffles with Strawberry and Mascarpone

February 12, 2014 by Melissa

Strawberry Mascarpone Waffles // treatswithatwist.com

Waffles are sexy.  I love them. I think they're a really sexy food.  I don't know why. Maybe its how they get all golden brown. How they're crisp on the outside, yet fluffy.  They have all these crannies that you know are supposed to be filled with butter and drippy syrup.  Gahhhhh. So good.  Honestly, I need to make them more. I have a knack for … [Read more...]

Chocolate Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies (grain free)

February 10, 2014 by Melissa

I love thumbprint cookies. They're pretty amazing. You get a cookie and a puddle of goodness all in one. And who doesn't love a puddle of goodness?  These ones are pretty magical. First of all, can we talk about how adorable and gaudy those sprinkles are? Totally amazing. Valentine's Day ain't got nothin' on my sprinkles.  These cookies are perfectly tender, savory and … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 50 and a Treadmill Workout

February 7, 2014 by Melissa

In case you hadn't noticed, winter is still going on and a little rat named Phil totally sucks in my book. Because we all know that HE is the one to blame for all of this.  I feel better knowing I have something to blame. Let's dive right in, shall we? I know I haven't given you a workout in awhile, but I have a pretty golden one for you to try. Yes, I've done it (I'm not just making … [Read more...]

Powdered Sugar Donut Holes

February 5, 2014 by Melissa

These Powdered Sugar Donut Holes are baked, gluten-free, and perfect for the upcoming Winter Olympics! Go TeamUSA!   Sometimes more is more.  And when it comes to donut holes, more is more. Promise.  So, to follow-up yesterday's Coconut Snowballs, and to continue our snowy Sochi Olympics theme (or for some, the general "it won't stop snowing outside" theme), … [Read more...]

Coconut Snowballs

February 3, 2014 by Melissa

I'm sure I had something inspiring to say about these Coconut Snowballs.  How they're so cute. How they aren't overly sweet, but just sweet enough, like me. (Sorry, yeah I shouldn't have said that but I couldn't help it.) But I'm distracted. I'll be honest, I'm watching the Super Bowl. And I'm sick to my stomach. This is just embarrassing. You know how I feel about the Super Bowl … [Read more...]

Sprinkles of Real Life

February 1, 2014 by Melissa

First of all, I've gone on a Pinterest binge. I've gone crazy (surprise surprise) and made a vision board...please stop laughing at me!!! I'm totally in love with it! I always thought it was hokey when I saw people make them, but then, I thought "what's the harm?" Um, none. No harm in Pinning pictures of what inspires me and what I'd love my 2014 to look like (looks very pink, sprinkley, and … [Read more...]
