Black Bottom Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie

November 12, 2012 by Melissa

I’m sure you’re overloaded and overwhelmed at the thought of pulling off a Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention, if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering how long you have to spend in the gym to pre-burn off the calories that are yet to come…just me? Oh, well…     Anyways, the hardest part about the holidays for me is the dessert overload. I have this need to try a bite of every … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 8

November 9, 2012 by Melissa

So, I’ve spent the whole week jabbing my finger into my eye.Staying healthy is attending to every part of you…right? Like making sure you don’t let three years pass between eye appointments. Ah hem. So, I had this bright eye-dea (ha! I’m killin me!) that I would go get contacts…because I had a coupon (no joke) and I have it in my head that I would really like to see my groom standing at the end of … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Pie Custard (pie, no crust)

November 7, 2012 by Melissa

This is what I want for Thanksgiving dessert. Times ten. Yes, I tend to overdo it…shocker.I think a crust-less option at every table would be awesome! Granted, I love a good crust now and then, but if I love the filling, I’m scooping it out and getting seconds! This Pumpkin Pie Custard tastes just like your traditional filling, but because it’s made with Greek yogurt, almond milk, and a hint of … [Read more...]

Homemade Butterfinger Bars (use up that Candy Corn!)

November 4, 2012 by Melissa

Do you get just as excited as I do about getting a great deal on after-Halloween candy? Good. Right? No! Bad.Now you have a ton of candy sitting around and no kids to throw it at. Did you stock up on candy corn? I did! But only because I had this recipe in mind. Whether or not you had this in mind, you’ll be totally glad you had all of that candy corn ready! I’ve always loved Butterfingers. In a … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 7

November 2, 2012 by Melissa

Do you watch Dr. Oz?Well, you probably shouldn’t. No, I’m not bashing him in any way. I’m just saying, he’s put all of these ideas in my head.Don’t even get me started on how many diseases I must have because my head itches and my fingers turn purple when it’s cold .But when he tells me all of these home remedies to try, I can’t help but do them. When I’m watching the show, I’m thinking “that’s … [Read more...]

Slow-Cooked Vanilla Spice Steel Cut Oats

October 30, 2012 by Melissa

It baffles me every time I use the slow cooker. It’s just so easy! Why am I not constantly using it?! I decided to try my hand at a super convenient, super easy breakfast using my mini slow cooker. I usually avoid steel-cut oats just because they’re such a hassle, but in the slow cooker, they’re totally no problem!Plus, I was able to try out another recipe from Pure Vanilla. I love the … [Read more...]

Salted Vanilla Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

October 29, 2012 by Melissa

So, vanilla. Totally bland? Heck no!I love vanilla. As a kid, I hated it. I wanted to just cry when there was nothing but vanilla ice cream left in the fridge (where’s the chocolate sauce so we can fix this?). But now, totally my favorite. I love putting vanilla paste into everything I make; seeing those flecks of real vanilla “caviar” in everything, and tasting the burst of exotic flavor. Yum. … [Read more...]

Another exhausting week is over! I’m so relieved to have found a reception site for the wedding, because now I can take a few months off from planning and just enjoy the upcoming holidays.We had an exhausting start to the week, because we spend most of Sunday evening in the animal hospital. Our lab really hurt herself (doing mystery activities while we were at the grocery store; my guess is the … [Read more...]
