{Simple and Amazing} Blueberry Sauce Recipe

by alice on February 28, 2010 · 19 comments


I’m so excited to share with you this simple but amazing blueberry sauce. This recipe is very similar to the cranberry sauce recipe I shared on the site months ago, but make no mistake, this blueberry sauce does not take a back seat to no other.  My breakfast today went from ordinary to extraordinary when I spooned this warm blueberry sauce over my stack of pancakes. I could not help but feel so spoiled while eating it.  I can’t explain in words how awesome this simple blueberry sauce really is, you will just have to make it yourself to understand why I love it so much.  Trust me, if you pour this warm sauce over pancakes you will feel like you died and gone to heaven – that good. Best of all, this recipe is ridiculously easy. If you cannot cook and you make this for your friends and family, they’ll suddenly think you’ve gone gourmet on them. [click to continue…]

Orange Julius Recipe

by alice on January 27, 2010 · 15 comments

This week I’m participating in the United Way Hunger Action Week.  I made myself this Orange Julius inspired smoothie modified to what I had on hand with only a few ingredients for lunch.  Smoothies make a great snack or meal replacement and can be made in just a few minutes.  The nice thing about smoothies is this.. when you blend drinks with ice the volume of the liquids expands so your drink lasts longer.   [click to continue…]

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ten years ago today, I said “I do” to my husband Rob.  Three kids later, we are still laughing, encouraging each other, and closer than ever.  I had planned on baking a small anniversary cake but in light of what is happening in Haiti, my mind has been scattered with images and stories from this devastated country. In other words, no cake.   Instead, I will leave you with an easy, romantic recipe for chocolate covered strawberries.  [click to continue…]

{Simple and Amazing} Cranberry Sauce Recipe

If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce because you thought it was too complicated to make, I am going to show you just how easy it is.  Not only is this recipe easy, it is amazing!  I love this sauce because it is not overly sweet and the combination of cranberry and orange give it a nice tang.  The color of the sauce itself is so vibrant compared to its canned counterpart -one cannot even put them in the same category.

Trust me after you try this sauce, you will never ever buy canned again.  Be prepared when friends and family “Ooooh and Awwww” over the mere fact you made homemade cranberry sauce.  They will call you “Martha” and hate you for it.  But that’s okay.. you’re secret is safe with me – I won’t tell how you didn’t slave over making this.  In all honesty, if the world only knew how flippin’ easy this was.. no one would ever buy canned again!  [click to continue…]

I am going to be real and raw with you tonight.  I’m a desperate woman this evening. I am in dire need of a late night sweet thang (<-and no that is not a typo).  If you are familiar with my blog at all, I ask for your forgiveness in advance.  There will not be the usual food porn you are accustomed to seeing on my blog in this post. I replaced my original photo with this one because frankly I’ve come to my senses and food porn is only good porn when shot right.  When I say food porn, I mean a term used by food bloggers describing drool worthy photos of food.  Instead I am posting candid photos as it happened. But I have a feeling you’ll forgive me after making this special treat. Don’t you agree this is a much better photo? Doesn’t it make you want to eat it through the screen?

I didn’t intend to write a post on my sweet thang.  But because I love sharing and you are my friend I will share my dirty late night secret with you as long as you promise to share it with others.  [click to continue…]
