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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

Breakfast is definitely not my favorite meal of the day. Eggs are decent. Yogurt and granola is alright. It's not that I dislike any of it, per se - I would just rather have lunch or dinner food. However, there are a few exceptions, one of which is pancakes! (The other is bacon...because...bacon.) Pancakes are just so delicious! They are fluffy and yummy and fun to make and eat ???. Downside = ...

Holy chocolate cravings, this has been an intense week. Usually I don't crave chocolate suuuuper bad. My husband would laugh out loud at that statement. Let me amend...I don't crave chocolate every day, but when I do it gets IINNN-tense. Read: THIS WEEK. Man oh man. There is this superfood shake you drink in the morning throughout the 21 Day Fix, and I drink the chocolate version. This shake has, ...
Single Serving Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate
It's hot chocolate season!! It's chilly outside, the car windows are frosted over each morning, and it's the perfect weather for a blanket, hoodie, fire place, and big steaming mug of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate means two things to me: Winter...aka Christmas...aka snow...(love snow). Comfort. I mean, come on. Is there anything more comforting than cup of hot cocoa? And the addition ...
Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies
You're gunna love me when you try these. I mean these are good...like seriously, seriously, WEIRDLY good. Weirdly good considering they are made up mostly of black beans and coconut oil. I know what you are thinking... Because I was thinking the same thing. There is NO way that these brownies taste nearly as good as actual brownies, let alone taste good at all. I even said to Seth before I ...
Healthy Chocolate Pudding with Almond, Graham Cracker Crumb
Ahh, healthy desserts. There is nothing better than indulging in a rich, decadent dessert that you can eat completely guilt free. Especially when it's chocolate. Because chocolate is pretty much the best thing ever. As you can see here, here, here, here, and here, I'm pretty partial to chocolate... Whoops. That's a lot of chocolate recipes. I'm not even ashamed. Especially when they are ...
