Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 6th, 2015Tina14 Comments

Who likes to make holiday themed goodies? I do. I’m sad that the Christmas season has passed because that means that I don’t have an excuse to make dozens and dozens of cookies. Hmm… or do I? I have a cool idea. Valentine’s Day is a holiday, and it’s even still cold out so the hot oven won’t make the kitchen unnecessarily warm, and it’s even right around the corner! I just bought this sweet heart printed blouse, these cute heart pajamas, and I painted my finger nails with red polish with gold sparkles. It’s not that far fetched that I’m …

Healthy Taco Bowl

February 4th, 2015Tina10 Comments

Tacos are awesome. It’s just that simple. There are roughly a bazillion ways to make a taco. (Yes, “bazillion” is a technical term.) You can go balls to the wall on calories and toppings. You can make it vegetarian. You can even do a non-Mexican take on a taco (which I love but I admit that always plays with my mind a little). Today I chose to enjoy tacos in a healthy and a lazy way.

Breakfasts on the weekend are calorie free, right? I’m all about the bacon, about the bacon, about the bacon. Can you hearing me singing that to this tune? What a catchy song. 😉 I briefly considered all the fatty bacon and loads of carbs in the bagel. However, I had a craving for bacon. Can you believe it? I rarely crave bacon or in fact any kind of meat. Of course, I needed to satisfy my craving and the first thing that came to my mind was a BLT. Then I thought it would be cool to have a BLT for breakfast and adding …

Petite Vanilla Scones

January 28th, 2015Tina12 Comments

These little vanilla scones are supposed to be a copycat of the Starbucks’ petite vanilla bean scone. The question that I always ask with copycat recipes is “Does this really taste like the original?” See below for my exciting conclusion. When I saw this recipe I instantly thought of two things. One, they are scones… hello, of course I want to make them. Two, they are smaller than the average sized scone so that means that I can eat one and not feel guilty (or that’s what I keep telling myself). My husband points out that being smaller also makes …
