Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and all summer picnics in between are not a true party until you have some good smores. Add some ice cream to your smores for a cool-hot “smores a la mode” dessert. A few summers ago, we made these delicious peanut butter cup smores… This weekend, we would highly recommend smores a la mode……

Uncle Dave’s Pulled Pork

August 31, 2014

Oh my gosh. Fatima and I love being able to go over Uncle Dave’s house for parties. He’s an awesome cook and makes some really delicious food, food that you go back up for seconds and thirds. For his daughter’s birthday (aka my little cousin), he made some delicious pulled pork. It was a process. You’re going to need to start two days beforehand to let your pork marinate in…

Honey Garlic Chicken

Shake up your weekend parties with some delicious Honey Garlic Chicken over rice. What we love about this recipe is that it’s quick, easy, and DELICIOUS! You’ll be able to make this in less time than calling in and waiting for delivery. Most of us love take out, but hate how we feel after eating it.

Chicken Guacamole Sandwich

August 18, 2014

Adding avocado to pretty much anything makes it better. Salad, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers. But I’m a sucker for guacamole. A bowl of some really good, creamy guacamole and some chips could last me all day. So we made a chicken guacamole sandwich and it was delicious. We took our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich that we made last week, and added guacamole. It was so hot out, we wanted something cold,…

Energy Bites

July 28, 2014

Do you go to the gym in the morning? These last few weeks have been an “after-work” kind of gym experience. When I get up early enough to go before work or when I head over after work, I’m STARVING! I always pack an apple to eat on my way down to the gym. But halfway through my workout, my stomach is like, “Yo – where’s my food.” I suppress this…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

July 14, 2014

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

French Toast Crunch

July 11, 2014

Crunch, crunch at brunch, brunch. Have you heard of “Crunchy French Toast”? We didn’t until Fatima’s sister came back from upstate NY raving about our sister-in-law’s yummy french toast spread. She said she “dipped french toast in cereal before putting it on the griddle.” Enter our French Toast Crunch… I love french toast. Especially when it’s made with some stale Texas toast. French toast or known as “pain perdu” (French…

Looking for a natural, refreshing detox? Did you endure the 7 Day Cleanse I blogged about? In an effort to find a safe, natural detox, we tried out a popular Cucumber Lemon Detox on Pinterest. This is not a crazy crash diet, so make sure you eat normally 😉 The original recipe called for 2 lemons, half a cucumber, and 10 mint leaves in 3 quarts of water. We made each…
