This is a review for Raw by Rae desserts. I was sent a free sample in the mail and asked to give an honest review. I am not receiving any money or compensation if you purchase these desserts. Have you heard of Raw by Rae? If you haven't, you're not alone. I hadn't heard of…

My family has spent a lot of time away from home these past few weeks. Between visiting my sister in Wyoming and spending time with my in-laws, it feels like I've hardly been home. Something about those long drives in the car - people get hungry, especially little children. I've been wondering what healthy snacks…

I used to hate bananas, especially overripe ones. I thought they were slimy and disgusting. I would avoid anything banana-flavored, even candy. I even had a dislike for the movie Herbie Goes Bananas. Yes, I hated bananas with a passion. Over the past year, though, my taste buds have changed. Don't ask me how!…

We have started some new adventures at our house: making more food from scratch. I blame Joshua. He looked at what we were spending on bread each week, and said we might be able to save some money if I made it myself. I mulled the idea around for awhile, then finally decided to jump…

I have been looking at and cooking healthy recipes for the past several years. I finally decided to try something new - create my own. So, I bring you my first original recipe - Banana Split Pancakes! These are great for serving that special someone breakfast in bed! Pancake Batter

Money has been a little tight lately, so I have tried to make some more homemade food. Pretty much all the food I cook is already homemade, but I'm talking even more homemade. For example, for lunch the other day we had nachos with homemade tortilla chips (but made out of store-bought tortillas). Well, if I can…

A couple months ago, I was approached about writing a review for a snack called Ips (Intelligent Protein Snacks). Now, I'd never heard of them, but I was willing to give them a try. I'm always looking for healthier options to eat than plain potato chips. I was sent a sample pack with…
