I turned 24 a couple of weeks ago, but I’m far from being an adult. Exhibit A: I still haven’t mastered the art of grocery shopping. Aside from waiting until I run out of just about everything before getting my butt to the store, and never buying any meals, (snacks are important, too!) I continually repeat a third […]
Earlier this fall, my mom warned me to stock up on canned pumpkin because of an expected shortage this year. Knowing how many cans of it I went through last year, I rushed over to the grocery store and bought eight cans. Several weeks later, I had yet to open one. As weird as it sounds, I was […]
I’ve been slacking so hard on the baking front the past few months. I think this had to do with three things: Winter finally ending and no longer being cooped up in the house. I had been baking constantly for months, so I think I burnt myself out. My parents came home from Florida… so why […]
I have the easiest treat for you guys to try as the summer winds down! Recently, my brain pulled a memory out of thin air and I recalled my grandmother making guilt-free “ice cream” sandwiches years ago. All she did was put Cool Whip in between chocolate graham crackers and then freeze the sandwiches for a few […]
Yes, you read that right. I tried coming up with an annoying avocado pun to title this post, but I decided that putting chocolate and avocado in the same sentence was attention-grabbing enough. I love avocados, but they sure don’t make it easy. You wait and wait for them to ripen while you salivate whenever you see them […]
As much as I try to acquire a taste for yogurt, it hasn’t seemed to happen yet. It’s such a convenient and healthy snack, but something about the taste and the consistency just doesn’t work for me. I love frozen yogurt, of course – anything with unnecessary sugar added to it usually agrees with my […]
A few weeks ago, I received back to back notifications on Instagram. For a second I thought the app was malfunctioning and had tagged me in the same item twice. I then realized that two of my best friends had tagged me in the same @ChocolateCoveredKatie post: Homemade Nutella Banana Bread Muffins. Guess I’m predictable, huh? I […]
I’ve always loved a good salad. The problem is, my definition of “good” basically means “not homemade.” I know the premise sounds simple – how can you screw up throwing some lettuce and a few ingredients into a bowl? But there always seems to be something missing when you throw a salad together at home. Because […]
In high school, my mom would often pack hummus in a little tupperware container for me to eat with pita bread or veggies at lunch. Because kids are mean and dumb, a few people would make fun of it because they had never had it. It didn’t phase me, because I got to sit there […]
Carbs are my weakness. As a kid, I always had a sweet tooth and a soft spot for all things carbohydrate filled. But I swear it became exponentially worse once I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in my teens. I’m not sure whether it’s the fact that I have to pay so much attention […]
