Hello, my name is Annie, and I am incompetent when it comes to baking. I rarely post desserts on here because I've been known to ruin a BOXED BROWNIE mix. Aka I can't bake. Hence why the first dessert I've posted on here in I don't know how long is literally melted chocolate that you spread onto a baking sheet...holllaaahhhhh - this is my kind of homemade dessert! And the cool thing is that ...
Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
It's the first pumpkin recipe of the season!!! Ah, fall food makes me so happy. Pumpkin, caramel apple, cinnamon, nutmeg - doesn't it all just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? What is it about fall that makes you feel that way? It's like a feeling of nostalgia, but I don't even remember doing anything particularly special during fall while growing up. Who knows - it's a mystery. But one that I ...
S’mores Rice Krispies Treats
I am sitting in a super cute coffee shop right now sipping a drink that I'm not even sure you could call "coffee" with its amount of sugar. It's called a Snickers Mocha...and it tastes like a melted snickers bar. And I get it so often that this one was free since I built up so many rewards. Something to brag about? Probably not...but it's so addictively delicious. For those of you who work from ...
Cinnamon Cheesecake Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ah, crescent rolls. I love you an extra ton because baking is not one of my strong suits. Number one: I make a massive, giant, huge, kitchen-earthquake of a mess. Number two: my stuff never turns out right. Number three: it's not as much fun as cooking because you have to stick to the recipe and get out a billion and one measuring cups and spoons. Whoops, sorry...a billion and two. BUT - then ...
Ultimate 5 Minute Homemade Hot Chocolate
Yes. So much yes. There is nothing better in this world than a hot mug of cocoa warming your hands as the snow is coming down outside. Or, in Kansas' case right now, no snow but BITTER cold temperatures. It was fifteen degrees this morning. Some of you North Dakota and Minnesota natives may be rolling your eyes at me right now, but for this North Carolinian, THAT IS AWFUL. The Cackalackies weren't ...
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
Hold the phone. Hold. The. PHONE. French toast made with homemade pumpkin bread is happening all up in here right now. And let me tell you people, it is sweet, fall-y, rich, dense, and SO flavorful. Does it get much better than pumpkin bread in the first place? I can't attest to your feelings on the delicious loaf of autumnal goodness, but for me personally, I would be content sitting in my ...
Cheater Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze
Um...what happened. I know I have said this before...but I mean it every time...and I'm saying it again...these are probably the best things I have ever made! I need to never buy any of these ingredients again, because the cinnamon rolls are so delicious that they are 100% wiped out within two days ?. For the sake of my pants still fitting, these tasty treats will only be allowed in my house on ...
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
OKAY, people, it has taken some serious self control to wait all the way until Friday to post this recipe. I have been dying to put these marshmallows on here all week. They have just been sitting on my counter...staring at me every time I walk by...saying "Hello, look how pretty and fall-y and fluffy and delicious we are! POST US." So...I am very excited to finally be able to do so. And I have ...
Popped Quinoa Crunch Bars
Like...what is this. It might be the coolest thing ever. Wrap your minds around this, people - you are eating a chocolate peanut butter swirl bar, but WAIT. It has a bunch of quinoa loaded up in there too. Say whaaaaaat?!? That's right. Popped quinoa. In your chocolate bar. What is this life...I'm diggin' it. Chances are high that you are sitting there saying "Raw quinoa in my chocolate bar? No ...
Peanut Butter “Chonana” Superfood Milkshake [21 Day Fix]
Ima be real with you. This milkshake is the love of my life. And I have so many things to say about it...and it's late...but we're going to power through because this deliciousness deserves a worthy post. LET'S DO THIS. First of all..."Chonana"? You are probably thinking "Why is this crazy lady making up weird words?" I shall tell you...I cannot take credit for the invention of this word. When I ...
