How To Brew Iced Tea

June 19th, 2013Tina4 Comments

Iced tea is the perfect refreshing drink for this time of year. My husband and I actually make it all year long though because we love the taste of it so much. I used to buy the powdered stuff to make iced tea because I didn’t realize that there was another way to make it…brew style! How do you like your iced tea? Unsweetened or sweetened? Black, green, or flavored? We prefer the standard issue black iced tea, unsweetened. Of course you can modify this recipe to the tea you prefer and feel free to add sugar if you like …

Skinny Peanut Butter & Chocolate Shake

June 15th, 2013Tina4 Comments

I had a craving for a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup. Who am I kidding, I could always go for one because they are one of my favorite candies. Sadly, they are not diet friendly. I’m still on my quest to lose weight so that’s not an option right now. Since I had the craving, I made the next best thing, a peanut butter and chocolate shake. In general I refuse to feel guilty for eating something “bad” (all things in moderation, right?), so this is a healthier version of what you’d find at your local ice cream shop because I skipped the …

Skinny Banana Blueberry Shake

May 30th, 2013Tina4 Comments

I’m so excited about this Skinny Banana Blueberry Shake because it’s one of my best tasting shake creations! I make shakes and smoothies often. I don’t tend to follow recipes but instead I just throw a bunch of ingredients in the blender, usually whatever I have in the fridge. Sometimes I have a winner and sometimes not so much. I love getting inspiration from my fellow food bloggers, family, friends, professional chefs, you name it. Have you ever heard of Sally’s Baking Addiction? Sally may have a baking addiction, but I have an addiction to seeing what Sally’s been up to. I’ve only been a …

Cafe Frappe

May 20th, 2013Tina13 Comments

Are you the kind of person who drinks your iced coffee fast or slow? I could be either depending on my mood. I had a lot of errands to run this weekend so I drank my favorite iced coffee, this cafe frappe, like it was a race. The result…I felt like Speedy Gonzales for the rest of the day. Am I dating myself? He’s a Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoon character, a Mexican mouse that runs around really fast. Anyway, I had a lot of energy. 🙂 If you love iced coffee then you’ve come to the right place. A cafe frappe is …

Skinny Strawberry Chocolate Shake

April 16th, 2013Tina2 Comments

What is a “skinny” shake? I had never heard of a “skinny” recipe until I joined pinterest.com (shout out to my sister who got me hooked on Pinterest). It means that the recipe has low calories, low fat, or is simply a healthier version of an original recipe. I learn something new everyday. 🙂 I’ve been addicted to eating muffins for breakfast lately so I’m trying very hard to incorporate healthy meals and snacks for the rest of the day. After all, bathing suit season is right around the corner. 😮 Here enters the pretty pink drink. It’s my new best friend …
