When I was little, my dad would make us a cup of his "famous" hot cocoa and I remember being so excited. Not only was it creamy, but it was the perfect amount of chocolate, and of course....topped with whipped cream, I was in heaven. Now that I am married and have kids, this is a favorite among ...

Whole Fruit Raspberry Margarita
Last weekend, my hubby and I made these drinks after dinner. Since we LOVE having a whole fruit margarita (check out our original version and strawberry version), we wanted to change it up a bit. We had some fresh raspberries on hand and decided to make a raspberry margarita! YUM!!! The flavor was ...
Mocha Frappuchino
When I think of a frappuchino, I think of loading my three small kids into my car, driving five minutes up the road, ordering my drink only to have my kids request their drinks, so ordering three more drinks, driving home, unloading the kids, and then finally getting to enjoy the frappuchino. Sounds ...
Guiltless Cake Batter Smoothie
Over the weekend, I was experimenting with fun new smoothie recipes, and came across this one. My family loved it, especially the kids. I think they were more in love with the fact it had sprinkles, but it made me feel good knowing that even though it tasted like a dessert, it was not nearly as bad ...
Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie
Lately, I have been making TONS of new smoothies. Each afternoon, when my oldest kiddo gets home from school, I make all 3 kids an afternoon smoothie. Since my oldest gets home around 4 pm and we eat dinner around 5, its a nice way to keep them full until dinner, without loading them up with sugar ...
Fruit n Veggie Smoothie
Each afternoon, when my oldest kiddo gets home from school, I throw together a quick smoothie to hold the kids over until dinnertime. They love it since they get to pick the main fruit used, and I love it because I slip veggies into it that they never know about, hehe!!! They quickly drink it down, ...
Apple Pie Breakfast Smoothie
If you are looking for a yummy breakfast or snack on the go, this is just the thing. Not only was it quick to make, but it tasted SO close to a slice of apple pie, just minus all the fat and calories. I made this smoothie over the weekend for my husband and I. Once the kids saw it, I made round two ...
Breakfast Smoothie
I don't know about you, but in the mornings when the kids need to go to school, the hubby needs to head to work, errands need to be run, etc., the last thing I remember to do is eat breakfast. Ever since my hubby bought me a Vitamix, my goal has been to make smoothies on the mornings where time is ...
Whole Fruit Margarita
I have mentioned in earlier posts that my husband bought me a Vitamix recently. I had been telling him for days, weeks, and even months, all the benefits of it. One of the perks I had sold him on was the way it could easily make a yummy margarita. My husband loves the occasional margarita, ...
