Foody Friday: THE Best Hummus

Link to Foody Friday: THE Best Hummus

  I'm usually inept when it comes to deviating from recipes, but I did exactly that with this greek yogurt and artichoke dip recipe...and what resulted was the creamiest, tastiest hummus I've ever tried. Here's the recipe: 1 can of chickpeas, drained (I know, BPA is bad news. I didn't have the patience to soak them, though, and dealing with me when I'm hungry is also bad news). three heaping tablespoons of greek yogurt (for what it's worth, it was rBGH-free). 3 artichoke hearts (also canned...I'm an awful person). 3 medium...

Link to Foody Friday: Cranberry Lemonade with Stevia

Did you know that the benefits of cranberries are significantly weakened when the fruit is mixed with sugar? Talk about a letdown. After reading the sad news, I was determined to make a sugar-free cranberry snack. I will not be deprived of the phytonutrients I deserve! Initially I tried just eating the berries raw, but they were seriously too tart to be enjoyable. So last night, with the help of my sweet mom, I made a batch of homemade cranberry stevia lemonade using a recipe for cranberry juice I found. We left...

  I'm not sure if it's the finals I recently took, the fried food I've been eating constantly, or the holiday anticipation I'm still experiencing, but my skin has been acting out in the worst way. Sunday night I made this strawberry and honey face mask, and things seem to be finally looking up!     I hope you guys treat yourself and give this mask a try. If you have some left, and you probably will, you'd be...

Link to Foody Friday: Pumpkin Soup & Pumpkin Muffins

Remember last Friday's post about potential pumpkin dog treats? Well, those never happened since Danielle decided to use a lot of the pumpkin to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins while I was out of town. They were delicious, so I couldn't hold it against her. We had some pumpkin left over, so we all decided to make pumpkin soup. I honestly didn't have much to do with it (Kirby cooked it), but it was mega tasty so I figured I should share it with you guys. He used

Link to Foody Friday: A Mountain of Luna Bars

  I'm sure I've shared my obsession with Luna Bars with you guys before, but their latest flavor totally takes the cake. If you haven't tried one, then think of Samoas. It tastes like that, only ten times better. I know that sounds like an impossibility, but I'm as serious as can be. I could eat a mountain of them. A mountain! And since they're full of calcium, folic acid, protein, fiber, and vitamins A, C, and E, I can eat one on Tuesdays and Thursdays in between...

Link to Foody Friday: Homemade Lavender Herb Butter

Remember the Culinary Lavender that was one of my birthday gifts? Well, I probably forgot to mention that it came with a recipe for lavender herb butter, but it definitely did. A softened stick of butter, a teaspoon dried chives, two teaspoons of dried lavender, and another teaspoon of dried parsley were all I needed to make a batch of the butter, so after buying a loaf of rustic Italian white bread (because what good is butter without bread?) on Tuesday, I did just that! It has been a hit around our house, and I'll probably...

Most of the samples I receive are more on the beauty side of health and beauty, so receiving the vitamin chews and energy shots I'm about to share with you guys was a nice change of pace (and a tasty one, at that)! If you like yellow Starbursts, then you'll love these Vitamin C with Zinc Super Chews. That's exactly what they taste like! They're not only delicious, though. Vitamin C, Zinc, and Echinacea strengthen the immune system while B Vitamins provide the energy support your...

Link to Sacred Rose Organic Herbal Tea Reviews

If you read this blog often or even occasionally, then you probably know that herbal tea is one of my favorite things in the whole world (in my long list of favorite things, it can be found right below my dogs and just above tart frozen yogurt). So when Maria from Sacred Rose Tea contacted me about the possibility of reviewing her lovely organic tea, I was all for it. To be honest, I squealed with excitement more than once when I opened my Sacred Rose package to see not one but two beautifully boxed teas...

Link to Thoughts on Wake Me/Relax Me Beverages

When I saw Genesis Today's new Wake Me and Relax Me drinks in reasonably-priced 10 ounce bottles, I knew I had to try them both. The impressive ingredients and attractive design sealed the deal. My expectations were pretty high since I'm a huge fan of their Acai Berry Juice, but I tried to have an open mind with both beverages. Below are my thoughts concerning each. Wake Me- This was definitely my least favorite of the two. I've been known...
