Strawberry Pomegranate Vitamin Burst Float
Leave it to me to turn something good for you into something not as good for you. Did you know Green Mountain Coffee has a line of wellness K-Cup packs? It’s true!
Tis the Tweason {Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Milkshakes}
We are in a strange weather pattern here in Kansas City. In the morning, there is a slight chill in the air and I crave layers of clothing and warm cups of coffee. By the time afternoon rolls around, we’re in the 80′s and I’m tearing off my layers, cursing hormones for the flashes of [...]

Oh, Bananas {Recipe: Banana Gelato}
Pin It Three ripe bananas were sitting in our fruit basket, taunting me with options. Should I make banana muffins? How about sour cream banana pancakes?
