Dairy Free Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream

January 21st, 2015Tina18 Comments

Who knew that three ingredients could turn into an insanely delicious ice cream? I didn’t (at least not until now). This is my first time working with canned coconut milk before. With it being a new year and all, I figured that this was as good a time as any to try it. I’ve seen it used in so many ways that I decided to give it a shot. In fact when I bought it I had originally intended to make chia pudding with it (something else I’ve never tried). You’ll note that this is not a post about chia pudding. I changed …

Sausage And Tortellini Soup

January 19th, 2015Tina8 Comments

Did you watch the playoffs yesterday? Both games were awesome (seriously, they won it in overtime!?), but especially the one where the Patriots won because my husband and I are fans! I won’t bore you with football talk. You may not be into it. Quite frankly, as much as I love watching it, I’m not entirely familiar with all the game lingo so I won’t be trying to impress you. 😉 Right now, I’d actually rather talk about soup… a topic I’m WAY more familiar with. The tortellini totally makes this soup. How could it not? Hello, it’s tortellini. I …

Boozy Iced Mocha

Happy Friday! It’s been a long and cold week so let’s celebrate with a cocktail. I’m not one for after dinner drinks and by that I mean I don’t like most of them. However, if you give me a chocolate one then I’m all in. Of course. Are you surprised? I mean, I am a chocoholic. The chocolate liqueur by Godiva is simply magnificent. Put it on the rocks and I’m a happy girl. I wanted to take the chocolate liqueur to another level and that’s where this fun drink comes in. Picture a boozy combination of iced coffee and iced hot …

Veggie Pizza

January 14th, 2015Tina11 Comments

Pizza. Isn’t it the best food to eat while you’re watching football? It sure is. Who am I kidding? Pizza is perfect 365 days a year, no matter the occasion. Football is just a good excuse. It’s sort of a tradition for my husband and I to eat pizza while we watch the Patriots play, even if it’s a frozen pizza from the store. Yes, sometimes I’m lazy. 😉 The last time we made pizza, we went all out with pepperoni, which is my husband’s favorite. This time we’re going vegetarian, which is more my thing. Can you tell that the …

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

January 12th, 2015Tina8 Comments

Sometimes you just want to eat a little healthier, but only a little. You still want pizza because pizza is awesome, but you’d rather be able to convince yourself that you are doing something a bit better for your body than pizza. A fantastic solution to this problem is whole wheat pizza. It comes with a healthy dose of earthy crunchy and a solid amount of pizza craving fixing power. If you top it with things like low fat cheese and veggies you’re well on your way to pizza that you don’t even need to feel guilty about. After a …
