Who else screams for ice cream? Here in Charlotte, it stays in the 90s this time of year. With the humidity, it can feel closer to 100 some days. I love where I live, but humidity is the bane of my existence. That’s one of the reason to love ice cream. What happens when you … Read more
Several weeks ago, I held a poll across Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram to help me pick the next dessert we tried. Overwhelmingly, the No Bake Protein Fudge Bars won. The second highest vote getter was the Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie. As much as I love fudge, I also really wanted to try this recipe, as did … Read more
Someone pointed out that we’re already halfway through the year and I can’t wrap my mind around it. Of course, I know it’s June, but I didn’t think about it being the halfway point.

Can you believe it’s already March? Spring is almost here. *praise hands emoji* March is often associated with green. Green grass, green leaves, green beer. St. Patrick’s Day epitomizes all things green. Corned beef, fish and chips, and Irish soda bread are commonly associated foods with the holiday. Another favorite is McDonald’s Shamrock Shake.

Disclaimer: I was offered Namaste Foods products in exchange for my honest review. Nearly everyone loves pizza (except my cousin’s daughter. smh.). If you have dietary restrictions, it can be hard to find pizza you can order. Even if you can find a gluten-free crust, some people have to worry about ingredients such as dairy … Read more
Galentine’s Day. Singles Awareness Day. Valentine’s Day. February 14th. Whatever you’re celebrating, eat some cookies. Better yet, make them yo self.
