Coconut Almond Rice Krispie Treats

I love being impromptu.  Before kids, I used to be all the time.  Some of my best memories are things that I planned or done last minute or without much thought.  Eight years ago I was living in Upstate New York.  I had a wild thought of moving to Florida.  Within two months of that initial thought, I found a job, packed my bags and dog and … [Read More...]

I am a sucker for a good cannoli.    Every so often I get a huge craving for a cannoli.  And once I get something in my mind I want, I can't stop thinking about it.  I have been doing so good with eating right and going to the gym, I wasn't going to let a little craving for a cannoli blow it.  I love ricotta cheese.  It is something … [Read More...]

Nutella Muffins

I have a weakness for Nutella.  I can't keep a jar of it in the house or I end up eating half of the jar with just a spoon.  A little here, a little there, before I know it half the jar is gone.  Sometimes I can't help myself when I find myself at the grocery store and a I see a lonely jar of Nutella on the shelf.  I know it is just destined … [Read More...]

Strawberry Vanilla Yogurt Cake

Let's talk cake.  I don't make it often for the simple fact I have no willpower around it.  If there is cake in my presence, there is probably a fork in my hand ready to dive into it.  I would consider myself a cake skimmer, meaning I take little pieces off the cake, thinking if I just take a bite here or there, the calories won't count.  … [Read More...]

Sparkling Hibiscus Sangria Tea Cooler

At the end of the day after the kids are tucked in bed including Mr. Mother Thyme, I usually find some time to myself.  Silence can be quite peaceful.  Before I can finally sit back and relax I usually spend an hour picking up toys, doing odds and ends and cleaning the kitchen.  I can't seem to relax without having my counters free of clutter … [Read More...]
