Homemade Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

Homemade Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

YUM!! these are so yummy!! Seriously, too yummy. I think in the future I am going to see if I can reduce the sugar a bit because these are just dessert with a little protein thrown in. My husband LOVES Clif Bars.  Truly, I think he is addicted to them, lol.  But he recently discovered that he is really sensitive to soy.  This means Clif Bars and most other protein bars are out. I went on a mission to find {Read More}

Homemade Almond Butter

Homemade Almond Butter

This Homemade Almond Butter is SO easy.. and you don’t need any special equipment. I have a pretty crummy food processor and that is what I made it in and it turned out great. It’s super quick and can definitely save you a few dollars over the very high price of almond butter. You can also do this with most ANY nut, not only almonds. Probably to most cost effective are sunflower seeds (not nuts, of course).  I can pick {Read More}

Dad’s Lemon Meringue Pie

My husband cooks/bakes two things (if you don’t count hot dog soup from college… which I don’t). brownies from the box and pie (either lemon meringue or coconut cream). It’s funny to me because I don’t even make pie very often, but he will. Growing up his mom had a Betty Crocker cookbook and he would make these pies from it (and where this recipe is taken from). A couple weeks ago we bought some hand soap that smelled like {Read More}

Easy Salted Caramel Sauce

Easy Salted Caramel Sauce

Caramel. It’s just so yummy. And really, it’s not that hard to make. I love the addition of the salt to this recipe, although it’s not necessary you can leave it out if you like. But that sweet/salty contrast is really nice. This Salted Caramel Sauce is amazing on ice cream with a sprinkle of roasted almonds or you can use it for our Super Easy Caramel Corn Sundaes or Salted Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole.  Both are awesome and I highly {Read More}
