This Fluffy Fruit Dip recipe has just 2 ingredients and you won't believe how easy it is to make! You can customize it to any flavor you want. My kids go back to school tomorrow. Tomorrow. They just got out for summer break, it seems. My girls are so excited. My son is not. He has worked on the farm all summer from sun up to sun down with his dad. It's always hard for him to give up that time to go to something as frivolous as school (said in sarcasm voice). I am ready for them to go back. … [Read more...]

Leafware Review and Giveaway
I did a post about Paperless Kitchen's Skoy Cloths and now I want to tell you about their Leafware Dinnerware. Don't they look cool!

Unfortunately, these types of products are typically made from materials that are costly to the health of the planet. Leafware is a unique … [Read more...]
Great Grains Cereal – What Makes You Great?
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Post Great Grains Cereal. All opinions are 100% mine. I feel that we are our own worst critics. We can be really hard on ourselves. We need to be kinder to ourselves. Stop and think about what makes you great. For me, I think I'm a pretty great mom and wife. I love my family and put them first before myself. Sometimes that means my meal is cold by the time I get to it or the only time I have a chance to read (my favorite thing!) is after … [Read more...]

Banana Bread Donuts with Brown Butter Glaze
These Banana Bread Donuts are perfect for breakfast or dessert. They also work as muffins if you don't have a donut pan. Sweet! These babies are like little round banana bread loaves with holes in them. Cuz that's exactly what they are. And the glaze, you guys. It's made in a saucepan so it sets up quickly and has that crackle like at a bakery. And brown butter. Oh my gosh the brown butter. Amazing. I used vanilla bean paste but you can easily use vanilla extract instead. Just make these … [Read more...]
