Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect cookie for any Holiday or Special Occassion. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so…

no rollin here for these sugar cookies…
Summer is here. The kids are almost out of school (or maybe they already are) and that means it is time to BAKE! What do you like to bake int he summer…how about cookies? How about no roll sugar cookies? OK perfect…lets start there!! I just love the light texture of the cookie with the sweet frosting that is colored in all the best summer colors…or any colors you want. No rolling here The one problem I have with frosted sugar cookies though is that most of them require you to refrigerate them, then roll them out, then bake them, let them cool then finally frost them. Now I understand that they are totally…

skinny but oh so blue cheese dip
Do you love dip? I LOVE DIP! Every party I have, whether big or small, there is always a dip of some sort. Sometimes I will have the traditional ranch dip (or this amped up version), sometimes a dill pickle dip and sometimes something sweet to go with fruit. Skinny and so GOOD This year for the Big Game I am going to be making A Skinny Blue Cheese dip. This dip will not only be delicious with veggies and chips but it will also pair GREAT with these Skinny Buffalo Tenders. So what makes it skinny, you ask? Well, to start with I use nonfat greek yogurt mixed with reduced…

start your day with a berry good treat
I love the idea of smoothies. They are loaded with good for your stuff, you can drink them, and they are quick to make which is perfect for those super busy mornings. There is just one problem I have with most smoothies…I HATE bananas! A smoothie without a banana can be hard to find Do you go to those smoothie places and get creative with your smoothies….well that has always been a challenge for me. Most of them have bananas in them, and I cannot eat banana any way, any how. So I know that sounds a little wacky, really who doesn’t like bananas…well that would be me. This is…

oh so good…skinny chicken and rice
Even when I am trying to eat lighter and make better choices there is one thing that I must have…CHEESE. Now I know this is not the best must have, I mean obviously must having veggies are a better option but as long as I can have some cheese every now and then I am a much happier “skinny” eater & this chicken and rice casserole makes me happy for sure. Casseroles are also a must have…they are so easy, and if done right it can be balanced and full of flavor without a ton of guilt with some veggies & protein thrown in for good measure. Growing up my mom made…
