This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StartWithJifPowder #CollectiveBiasI know I have mentioned my obsession love of peanut butter on previous accounts and I have no intention of changing that attitude. At all. My unofficial mantra is ‘All peanut butter, All the time.’…
Chocolate Chip Banana Bars
This recipe will make your house smell amazing. Yes, I am choosing to open this post with that statement because that is what immediately comes to mind as I write this. It practically wraps your house in a hug. As cheesy as that sounds, its absolutely true. Make no mistake that it…
Green Tea Smoothie
So, remember when I posted this recipe for Green Green Salad? I am at it again, but this time its drinkable. I keep creating these verdant recipes and all I can think of is, “Awesome. It is sooooo greeeeeen.” Side Note: I have been looking for a green couch for my family room,…
Whole Wheat Banana Bread
One look through my recipe archives and you know how much I love things made with banana. It is not so much that it is my favorite flavor, but that it is just so dang easy to make. Banana type baked goods are virtually guaranteed to come out naturally sweet, moist, and…
Whiteout Smoothie
Have I ever mentioned how much I love white? I don’t like to to wear it-that is just an accident waiting to happen-but I love it in my house, my dishes, my kitchen, my decor, and now, in my smoothies. My cupboards are white, my appliances are white, and I collect milk…
Brown Sugar Banana Nut Muffins
I see Banana Nut Muffins as a pretty standard type of baked good. When I set out to create this recipe, I wanted all the great flavor but with just a tweak (just a smidgen) of an update. So I made it heart healthy but kept the classic brown sugar taste that…
Peach & Banana Sunrise Smoothie: Back to School Post #6
Finally! A recipe! I have been busy in my kitchen, but canning and freezing, not cooking real food. But after some last minute tweaking, this recipe is ready for you! I know that a recipe for a smoothie can be a bit of an oxymoron; smoothies are generally a-throw whatever you have…
Banana Soft Serve Sundaes
I am taking a tiny step away from my Back To School Series and instead, have taken a giant leap toward a post that can be filed under the Holy Swiss Cheese It Is Freaking Hot Outside category. My daughter’s school has been let out early due to heat for most of…
Smokey Smoothie-Blueberries, Bananas, & Spinach
This smoothie is what I have been making lately so naturally, I want to share it with you! It gets frozen in these little thingamabobs and then added to my daughters lunch. My boys-especially my almost 1 year old-suck down whatever can’t be frozen, and I just end up trying to steal…
Banana Sour Cream Pancakes & Hotel Room Service
Quite often, food reminds us of special times in our lives. Culinary memories, if you will. My Mother-In-Law was telling me over the weekend that the smell of cinnamon rolls makes her think of her Mother. She used to bake them in the afternoons so that they were fresh and warm for…
Rum Banana Bread: Fruit & Booze
Did the title of this post reel you in? I must admit…that was my secret plan…. (or not so secret if I am telling you) *Evil laugh* while ringing hands… The first time I tried this bread I was intrigued. The extra step of cooking the bananas in the rum was kind…
The Best Banana Pudding-Really!!
What you see before you is the best banana pudding in the world. Seriously. No seriously. I could really end this post with that simple statement and just hope you would trust me enough to make this. Because honestly, it is one of those things you have to eat to believe. This…
Yogurt Salads
I am not a fan of eating plain yogurt, well, plain. Have you ever had it? It is really sour. Not rich and creamy and delightful like sour cream is, but actually sour. If you are one of those people who like it untouched or unsweetened I salute you, but I am…
Baked Oatmeal
I know that this recipe works. I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is consistent, easy, streamlined, and adaptable to many different palettes. How do I know this? Because I have made this a CRAZY number of times in the last three months! There has been oatmeal coming out…
Cream Cheese Banana Bread
I am just going to jump right in here with the name of the above deliciousness: Cream Cheese Banana Bread. OK. Just absorb that for awhile… How does that title not make you drool a bit? You would think that a cream cheese banana bread would be a bit tangy maybe. Definitely…
