I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...]

OK, who am I kidding, this should be called the "Not At All Homemade Chocolate Banana Bundt with Chocolate Glaze" but "Almost" sounded better. ;) Here's the story.... I had a craving. I woke up Saturday with an itch to bake something chocolate. There was only one problem. No flour. None. Zip. ZERO. I used my [...]

Last weekend the Little Guy and I had a BLAST experimenting with some Vitalicious mixes. The idea. . . marble together the brownie mix with the banana nut muffin mix. The result... DELICIOUS! Not only did the husband and the toddler think so but I brought half of the cake to work and it was [...]

I miss baking. :( With my full time job I haven't had time experiment like I used to. So when the little guy asked to make muffins the other day I hit the pantry, used a mix and put my own spin on it to appease the "from scratch" gene my mom passed on. We [...]

This was a another snow day experiment. I like baking from scratch but sometimes using a mix is a life saver. It takes all the guess work out of it and I can simply have fun. I like having fun. Especially in the kitchen. :) Anyway I used Vitalicious's Deep Chocolate Vita Muffin Mix. I'm [...]

Oh my WORD! I'm SO glad I made this even though I knew the husband and toddler would hate it. Have I mentioned the husband's unmanly trait of hating chili? Seriously I must be married to the only man in America who doesn't enjoy a bowl of chili. It's CHILI! Not only is he not [...]

Pumpkin, peach, and blueberry, what an awesome combination! Using the muffin mix was a great base for this flavor combination. The muffins came out super moist, tasty and even the toddler was a fan. The husband’s response was, “eh”. This type of muffin isn’t his cup of tea, but he ate one. [...]

I was super psyched to make these. The combination of a sweet cream cheese, cheesecake like filling with blueberry bran muffins sounded delectable. And the husband was excited as the cheesecake part reminded him of the filling in his favorite dessert, the pumpkin roll. I made them last night and split the [...]

Hmmmm Pizza and chocolate. Ok, who’s bright idea was this?!? Oh yeah, it was Christie our third featured VitaMix Contest Finalist. I was really looking forward to making this one with the toddler but the brownies took so long to cool; he had to go to bed! That being said, [...]

I’ve been waiting to make this finalist. Such a simple idea and who doesn’t like GOOEY CHOCOLATE?!? Well after dinner the toddler and I hit the kitchen. We had a blast making them (he was able to help a lot) and the results were tasty! The addition of just 3 little chips [...]

I was SO excited to make my first VitaMix Contest Finalist this morning! Being forced to make a chocolate entry as I only had one package of Deep Chocolate VitaMix (Chocolate Muffin Mix) (I’m waiting for my shipment to come in so I can make the rest), So I chose Mary’s [...]
