banana dogs~(n) The total opposite of a hot dog.

Oh boy your kids will love these.

I won’t lie. I love them just as much.

Because food should be yummy and fun even if you’re over 30.

I have been searching for a homemade fig bar recipe. For a long time. Of course, it ended up being right there all along in my Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook.

I live in south Florida.

YIPPEE!

Well, if you know me on twitter and facebook, you know I got a bit ballsy yesterday and decided to make a video.  Not sure why… I think I wanted to see if I could do it. It was something I was scared to death of when I was in Project Food Blog-I decided [...]

monster mouths

Quite possibly, this could be my shortest post. Nah, I think I will ramble a bit.

It’s the week before Halloween, that means I am going to be “spookifing” food.

Take the after-school snack of apples and peanut butter:

spooky, eh?

It’s sliced apples bound together with peanut butter and slivered almond “teeth”.

Oh [...]
