28 Drunken Cupcakes | Totally Pinteresting I'm sick with pneumonia and life is very overwhelming right now. I can call off from work but I can't really call off from home. Telling a mom/wife/homemaker that she needs to rest is a big fat joke. I alternate between wishing for a cupcake and wishing for an icy fruity drink with lots of vodka or tequila. I searched "alcohol cupcakes" on Pinterest. (Jack Daniels, and lots of it!) (Kahlua and Baileys) (Spiced Rum) (Kahlua) (Kahlua, Vodka, Baileys) (Peach Schnapps and Champagne) (Champagne or Sparkling Red Wine) (Irish Whiskey and Baileys Irish Cream) (Espresso Stout) (Red, red wine, Stay close to meeee) (Butterscotch Schnapps and Creme de Cacao) Chocolate Cupcakes (Jack Daniels) (Coconut Rum) (Baileys and Kahlua) You might ask, were 28 really necessary?

Coconut Whipped Cream « Nutty Kitchen We love our whipped cream in coffee, on berries for dessert, really on any of our primal desserts. But it’s nice to have an alternative to dairy and for our Paleo friends. Henry thought it would be good to have some cold coconut milk and stuck a can into the fridge for a couple of hours. When he opened it he noticed that it had gotten very thick on top, so he scooped it out and noticed that it had separated from the coconut water. So since then we’ve been enjoying our morning cup of coffee with a spoon full. So here are a couple of pictures for you – try it, it is so incredibly easy and completely gluten and dairy-free. Step 1: Take a “full fat” can of Organic Coconut Milk and place it in the fridge for some time or best over night Refrigerated Coconut Milk being scooped out by Henry Step 2: Make sure that you scoop out all the thickened coconut cream, and that the water is left over. Coconut Water Step 4: Enjoy every bite, anyway you like! Like this: Like Loading...
Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Creamy Lemon-Yogurt Sauce Someday, science will catch up with my summertime needs and create a popsicle that sustains life. Until then, I’m looking for every shortcut that will keep me from having to turn on the stove or oven any more than absolutely necessary. Today, my shortcut was a big batch of Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Creamy Lemon-Yogurt Sauce. Yes, I had to turn on the stove, but only for about 15 minutes. No biggie. And in return, I made enough of this healthy, satisfying pasta to give me lunch for the next four days. The only time-consuming thing about this pasta is slicing the zucchini. That said, don’t get too anal about the slicing. As for the lemon-yogurt sauce, I know what you’re thinking: can’t I just use lemon-flavored yogurt? No, because lemon-flavored yogurts are sweetened, and you don’t want your pasta sauce to taste like pie filling. The sauce itself is just a quick blend of plain Greek yogurt, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper. I guess the all-popsicle diet can wait.

Greek Yogurt Pound Cake | Lawfully Wedded Wife I was looking forward to this past weekend because the weather was finally feeling like spring and one of the biggest and oldest festivals in Atlanta was happening! As you can see from that picture, there were so many beautiful dogwoods blooming! Dogwood flowers are like the iconic symbol of springtime in Atlanta. DC gets cherry blossoms, Washington gets apple blossoms, Texas gets blue bonnets, and we get DOGWOODS! The festival lasted three days but Jason, Ashley and I headed out for the fun festivities on Saturday. Did you know that Atlanta has the most tree cover of any major city in the US? This festival is located in Piedmont Park every year, which is pretty much our version of Central Park. As you can see, there was a ton of rides and fun things for kids to do. In the main meadow next to the rides the Disc Dog Southern Nationals tournament was being hosted! I’ve never seen a frisbee dog competition before and it was SO cool! She did such a great job, it looked beautiful at the end!

Quinoa Breakfast Bake This recipe and photo were created by contributor Katie Morris of Katie at the Kitchen Door. Learn more about Katie and this recipe by checking out her accompanying post. Like many people, I've committed to finally getting fitter/losing weight/eating better this year, so I started off January with a two-week whole-foods "cleanse" to help me focus on what I should be eating (you can find the recipes and menus here and here). Officially, I'm done with the cleansing part, but I'm trying to make the whole-food diet stick. While doing this, I've realized that starting the day off on the right foot is crucial: If I don't start off with a healthy, filling meal, the rest of the day is basically a wash. Recipe: Quinoa Breakfast Bake Photo by Katie Morris Serves 4-6 What You'll Need: What to Do: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Need some more healthy breakfast inspiration?
Recipes Under 400 • eattonguyen: Who needs ice cream when you can... Greek Yogurt Pancakes Greek Yogurt Pancakes On pancake-craving mornings, I find myself brainstorming ideas for new pancake recipes. One such craving-day recently had me thinking of Greek Yogurt Pancakes. I’m obsessed with doing something with Greek yogurt most every day anyways, so why not put it in pancakes? I did what I usually do… googled around to see what recipes were out there. They look pretty darn good, don’t they? You’ll need a container of Greek yogurt- any kind, really. Mix the egg into the yogurt. Stir the yogurt/egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop perfect amounts of batter into your heated skillet for the pancakes. And there they are! Here’s a banana version I did using egg whites instead of an egg. Making Greek Yogurt Pancakes is a fun little experiment for a weekend morning since you can try them out using different flavors/brands of Greek yogurt and different kinds of fresh fruit! P.S.
Mango Coconut Chia Pudding I'm addicted to coconut, when I was pregnant it was all I craved! Combine that with mango and I'm in heaven! ...and using chia seeds to make an easy, healthy form of pudding which requires no cooking? Chia pudding has a sort of tapioca texture, you simply combine all the ingredients and refrigerate overnight. They don't really have much of a taste, the texture is similar to passion fruit if you've ever eaten one. Tested this pudding out on my pickiest family member, my teenage daughter Karina and she LOVED it to my surprise, she usually puts her nose up at some of my healthy creations.
