Watermelon Frosty

If you are looking for a way to beat the heat, this is the perfect remedy! Not only is this super refreshing but makes use of the juicy watermelons in season. I saw this mentioned on Money Saving Mom and just couldn't resist especially since I had a plethora of watermelon that was going to go bad.

Chocolate PB Frozen Banana Bites

Hope you all had a great weekend! I don't know about you, but I need a sweet treat pretty much every evening after dinner. I try to keep it on the lighter side with my latest obsession being popcorn with a little bit of mini chocolate chips stirred in. I do like to mix it up though and I remembered these frozen banana bites I had seen a while back. They are a great sweet treat and the frozen … Read More

Pan Fried Okra

I have lots of favorites that she makes and one of them is her pan fried okra. Recently she gave me some okra fresh from her garden and the directions on how to make her okra. I stuck the okra in the freezer and saved it for when I would … Read More

Peach Pie Milkshakes

I don't know about where you live, but if you live anywhere near the south or midwest, it is Hot as Fire!! So hot you can't even really go to the pool!! Cry!! All can do is stay in the air conditioning and sip on a cold drink and talk about how hot it is outside. That's where these milkshakes come in. They are a great refreshment from the blistering heat plus a great use for all the peaches … Read More

Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Peaches

As I've posted before, I am not a huge fan of oatmeal. I have come to tolerate it some, but it's definitely not my favorite. So I thought baked oatmeal would be a nice alternative. After getting some wonderful peaches at a local produce spot, I thought it would be great to add in peaches. It turned out great! It's moist and the peaches added wonderful flavor and texture. It kind of tastes … Read More

Frozen Hot Chocolate

I love hot chocolate as I'm sure a lot of you do. I drink it close to every night in the winter. To my delight my favorite local frozen yogurt shop, Perkits (if you are ever in Cleveland, TN you have got to visit Perkits-they have different flavors every day!) has their own version of frozen hot chocolate. I have also tried the famed Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate in New York which was … Read More
