School has begun! I've seen all kinds of "first day" photos on Facebook. Today, my brother and cousin start classes at college. Yes, summer is almost over. I believe summer lasts through August, and fall doesn't begin until September does. So in these last couple weeks of summer, how better to celebrate than with these easy and tasty fruit pops? Here's what you'll need: Strawberries (a little over 1 cup) Banana (half of one, if that) Honey (not much) Yogurt (1/2 cup) Blender Popsicle maker-things (What are those called?) Start by blending the 1 cup of strawberries Continue Reading
Dirt Pudding Without Cream Cheese
You wouldn't think a dessert with the word dirt in it would be good. But dirt pudding is not just good, it's great. This has been one of my favorite snacks/desserts since probably second grade!

I also don't like gummy worms in mine; I think it totally takes away from the wonderfulness of this dessert. So I add extra Oreos and take out the cream cheese altogether. And it still tastes amazing, even without gummy worms. Here's my recipe for dirt pudding without cream Continue Reading

For this recipe, you'll need a pie crust. I used a graham cracker crust because I like those better than the regular ones. You can use whichever you prefer, but if you use one made of dough, you'll need to bake it Continue Reading
Triple Mint Marshmallow Oreo Brownies
Sometimes I just get in the mood to cook/bake. I say sometimes, because other times I'm in the exact opposite mood. I'd rather do anything than cook or bake. But when you get something like Oreo brownies, I'm all about whatever it takes to make them so I can eat them! When I am in that in-the-kitchen-housewife-wearing-an-apron-kind-of-mood, I really like trying new recipes that I find on Pinterest. And I enjoy sharing the final product with friends, family and co-workers. And I think they enjoy it too! How delicious does that look?! Last summer, I tried what I'm calling Triple Mint Continue Reading
