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 […]
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 […]
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 to […]
Happy National Donut Day! As much as I hate to admit this, the first thing I do when I wake up is check social media. First Instagram, then Twitter, and finally, as my attention span wanes, a quick Facebook scan. I guess it’s our generation’s version of reading the paper. Before I knew it this […]
If you’ve seen my Instagram lately, you probably noticed a picture of a brownie with green flecks inside. Maybe I’m too innocent for my own good, because it took me a while to process some of the comments I received, like “are you sure that’s kale??” I promise they were NOT weed brownies. But next […]
Moving back home to the suburbs of Massachusetts has given me quite a bit of free time. In less than seven months I’ve gone from a full-time college student and sorority sister to a part-time worker with zero social life. Sure, you’re probably thinking I could spend that time searching for a full-time job…but that’s a discussion […]
