    Oatmeal Fudge Bars

    Posted in: Bars and Brownies, Chocolate

    FudgeBars - 150 px square

    When it comes to desserts, I pick chocolate over fruit any day. If I am somewhere where there are options, I will likely pick the most rich, decadent chocolate dessert I can (unless its 100 degrees, then I don’t want to eat anything… or move my body). So when it came time to decide how to use the big bag of oats I just bought, I thought oatmeal chocolate chip cookies sounded good. I have never made them. But then I started thinking about the chocolate part of the dessert, and I wanted more than just chocolate chips. I wanted a richer, more chocolatey dessert, but still using the oats. I couldn’t have asked for more with these oatmeal fudge bars. Read More

    Honey Cheesecake topped with honey soaked Blueberries & Peaches

    Posted in: Fruity, Pies

    Honey Cheesecake - 150 px square

    I am starting to develop some sort of cheesecake pie fetish. First there was the Berry Cheesecake Pie that I made for the 4th of July. I realized I could have cheesecake (that I love so much), without it being two inches high and heavy. I topped that pie with fresh strawberries and blueberries, and it really brightened the dish.It was a light, yet rich and satisfying dessert. Then I made the Candy Bar Cheesecake in a chocolate pie crust. Though this cheesecake pie was not topped with fresh fruit, instead with my favorite chocolate candy. Not so fresh, but damn good and damn sweet! So you could say I sort of have a thing for making a cheesecake in a pie crust, and adding stuff on top. Read More

    Fudge Brownies with Salted Caramel Topping

    Posted in: Bars and Brownies, Chocolate

    I like writing numbered lists, especially in class. It makes me feel organized. Even if my list is scattered and all over the place. Let’s talk pizza, TV, and fudge brownies, shall we?

    1. Kyle picked up a pizza yesterday. A large delicious I-could-eat-you-everyday cheesy pizza. Inside the box was a small plastic container of Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Kyle then tripped (though he may prefer if I say the box simply flew out of his hands) and the red pepper flakes burst open, and covered the pizza. The pizza looked like it had chicken pox! And I didn’t eat any of it. Why is this significant to me? This is the first time something has stopped me from eating delicious cheesy pizza. I may tell Kyle to drench all of our pizzas in red pepper flakes, since he loves the spice and I don’t. Read More

    Chocolate Milk Ice Cream

    Posted in: Ice Cream

    ICECREAM -150 PX SQUARE

    No matter how much chocolate milk I buy, it will all be consumed that same night. I have conducted studies. This is a true fact. And it’s not me drinking it, it’s Kyle. Sometimes I buy an individual pints. Sometimes 2 or 3.  And once I bought a half gallon and yes, the next morning it was laying on top of the trash in the kitchen, completely empty.

    I don’t know if he even knows what he is doing past a certain time. He goes to sleep much later than I do, and makes his trip from the couch to the bed around 4am, and usually stops by the fridge for a sweet snack at this time. If you have ever seen Step Brothers, this is what I imagine it looking like in my kitchen every night. But no matter how much chocolate milk I buy, he drinks it around this time. Read More

    Saturday Stills Vol 10: Favorite Summer Recipes

    Posted in: Uncategorized

    StuffedJalapeno - 150 px square

    My favorite Summer recipes… from my site that is!

    Oh, don’t give me that look. I know what you are thinking. Where have you been all week Natalie? No seriously, it’s been a week. The longest hiatus I have ever taken from my blog has been 3 or 4 days. This has been tough, but I have one word. Midterms.

    I do feel, however, that I am getting a better grasp of my time. I finally wrote out a real schedule that I plan to abide to. Certain nights will be dedicated to homework. Some nights will be dedicated to blogging. And some nights will of course be dedicated to vampires. Read More

    Posted in: Photography

    chopped cobb salad - 150 px square

    The theme of this week’s Saturday Stills is failure.

    All the pictures featured in this post were meant to be shared with you, but for some reason or another they turned into big fat failures. Some tasted weird, some looked weird, and some were plated weird. But from every mistake I always try to learn a lesson, as I did with all the dishes below. Read More

    I have a list. Can we go over it? Just 3 things.

    Don’t worry, the third point is a delicious recipe. I save the best for last.

    1. I did not post a Saturday Stills this past Saturday. Sorry about that. Life has been crazy. But I will make it up to you next week with a post full of fresh, hip and happening pictures. Or something like that! But if you need a fix, here are my Lady Gaga pictures, one more time! Read More

    Let me ask y’all an important question. Who here is ready for some Eric and Sookie Stackhouse action?

    Oh, I am referring to True Blood. I hope you know this. If not, jump on the bandwagon, it’s worth it! True Blood make Sunday’s worth waiting for. In the past I would dread Sunday because that means the work week has quickly crept up again. However during True Blood season I look forward to Sunday evenings. And I start my week off with some hot vampire action! Read More

    My New Favorite Lemonade

    Posted in: Snacks and Smoothies

    lemonade - 150 px square

    This is my new favorite Lemonade recipe. It’s so good and tastes like it is full of sugar and sunshine. This really isn’t a recipe as it involves 3 ingredients, but more or less introducing you to one of my new favorite sugar replacements. I could drink 10 glasses a day in the summer of fresh, sweet lemonade, so this version is perfect for me as it has no calories.

    I told you in the Vegan Energy Bar post that I received some samples of different kinds of stevia products from NuNaturals. I used the baking blend in the bars, and this time I am using the white stevia powder. Read More

    Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

    Posted in: Cakes and Cupcakes

    Cupcakes - 150 px square

    I am now a student and I am now having to decide how to use my time more wisely. When it comes to me though, time and wise don’t go in the same sentence. I am never late though. In fact, some friends of mine would say I am sometimes too early. However when I need to actually use my time to do something, I find a million other things that sound more interesting.

    Like just now. I really need to be writing a paper. Like really bad, it’s due tomorrow morning. But how does my professor expect me to type a paper, on a computer, when I can use that computer to check my blog. And how can they expect me to check my blog and see I have a first time commenter and not go look at that person’s blog. Then before you know it, 20 minutes has passed and I am hungry, have bookmarked three new recipes, and the essay still only has my name written on top. Read More
