This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. What if we all could make one change? One simple, small change that could, collectively, change the world that we live in. It's a pretty amazing concept, but so minuscule if you think about it. What am I talking about? Packaging. Have you ever noticed how much packaging some products have? What type of packaging they're in? Have you ever thought … [Read more...]
Cranberry Orange Muffins
It's SRC reveal day! YIPEE! I can't wait. It's been the LONGEST MONTH EVAH! At least it feels like that. I spent tons on my assignee's blog.

Spiced Rum Fruitcake Doughnuts
Yup! It's that time again! Time for the Spiked! Recipe Challenge. I LOVE this challenge, because it gives me an excuse to make tasty nibbles like this one! You see, when Mom moved off the main land, she gave me her steamed pudding mold. This meant that I was seriously going to make our Christmas pudding for the holidays this year.

Banana Waffles with PB Syrup
The story goes, when my mother was preggers with my sister, she ate hot dogs. Consequently, my sister loves hot dogs. When my mother was preggers with me, she had PB and nana sammies. So...yeah. They are my crack. Not tasted like Elvis. Actually, I've never had it toasted from what I can remember. It's always been plain bread with PB and bananas. No honey. No jelly, Just PB and nanas. Simple. Sometimes for a snack, I … [Read more...]

Consequently, , it's S's favorite saying as of late. You see...I got some junk in my trunk. No? Um...some fries with my shake? … [Read more...]
Hearty Wheat Banana Muffins
I'm still perfecting my low fat cake/cupcake/muffin recipes. I know I'm delusional when I say I want to make a cupcake, cake or muffin that has the similar texture, crumb, and lusciousness that the full fat version does. This idea came to me last night as I was trying to get back to sleep. *note to self Mexican on Friday after 2 scotch and waters = heartburn at 1am* Yeah...it wasn't pretty. They should have some whole grains in them. I know. I said I'm delusional. … [Read more...]
Pistachio Lime Muffins
With a secret ingredient, these Pistachio Lime Muffins are packed with delicious flavor and healthy ingredients. But they're still deliciously moist. Pea flour! Yup! I said PEA FLOUR! It's a flour...made outta peas. Split green peas to be exact. In an effort to NOT make the typical split pea and *insert various meat here* soup, I wanted to find something different to make with the split peas I have in the pantry. PEA FLOUR! I said it again! This is not an … [Read more...]
