~~ by Jen So we asked “how do our Pouchers wanna go bananas?” and you answered, mostly “Banana Cream Pie!”  I was secretly hoping for Banana Pudding, because my StepMom makes THE BEST banana pudding you ever put in your mouth, and I come from a long line of great Southern cooks.  So, since this is my recipe, I decided to …

~~posted by Jen Lots of times I steam fresh or frozen veggies for a side dish, and inevitably when I clean out the fridge, there is always a sad little container of leftover vegetables.  Today was my weekly fridge cleaning day, and I found just such a container of mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, & green beans), maybe a cup …

Did I mention to you that my 25 year-old, “fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants” brother is crashing on my couch these days? Yeah. That’s how I feel about it too. Although with the divas gone for the summer he is good company. Bad thing about having other folks in your home, though, is that you begin to rely on them for stuff. For instance, …

There is one benefit to my being so late with this. I ended up having to make another one (the sacrifices I make for youse guys!!!) and this time tried one with a hint …

Thank you guys for voting! I never thought the response would be so high! No worries to all you cheesecake enthusiasts. I made that today too and took photographs so (God willing) it’ll be up tomorrow or Tuesday. So…cheeseburger soup. Let’s just start off with a quick history lesson to how we got to where we are today. Nikki was …

I apologize if it seems like I’m in Vanilla Click overload. It’s just that I won this canister from Melting Mama and I feel like when I get something for free it’s good to pay it forward with as much info as possible. Please know that the amount of experimentation I am doing on this Click is what I do …

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Do you have your New Year’s plans set? Did you find some sugar-free sparkling cider? Going full out with some champagne? Well I know it’s last minute but I just mixed up a nice batch of  protein sugar-free egg nog and OF COURSE I had to share the love with you all! Sugar-free Egg Nog 3 cups …
