I’ve had a really busy day! It started off with doing laundry. I changed my sheets. Thrilling, I know.
I will go with today’s baking project that I’ll be blogging about soon or my last most successful dessert, the No Bake Nutella & Peanut Butter Graham Bars with Chocolate Frosting
Not a fun chore but one that must be done and I only have one set of sheets that fit my bed right now. Gasp, I know. So what goes off, must go back on a few hours later.
Then it was to the grocery store. I picked up another pineapple.
I am in love with pineapple lately!
And I love the super cheap prices on it right now too. Whole pineapples for basically $2 bucks.
And please, clean your own rather than buying pre-cut. It’s easy! If you’ve never cleaned your own pineapple, I have a pineapple-cleaning tutorial. Air + cut surfaces + bacteria = just clean your own.
And I also picked up a can of sweetened condensed milk.
And made quite a mess in my kitchen.
I took inventory of all the half used packages of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, Heath Bar bits, and other items, and came up with a winner.
To be blogged about soon.
If you really want something with chocolate chips + butterscotch chips now, make
Butterscotch Rice Krispy Treats with Vegan Chocolate Frosting
Super easy and as I was just telling Katie, I freeze my RKT’s after they are sliced and take out one or two bars at a time from the freezer, let them thaw for 15 minutes, and dive in. No adverse taste effects from freezing them.
Skylar licked the spatula from today’s baking project with the sweetened condensed milk on it and immediately called it sweet leche.
I guess both her Spanish and her tastebuds are right on track.
Literally drooling over it.
While also sticking out her tongue and being a total goofball.
I was drooling over the beautiful day.
And the flowers.
I’ve had a lot going on since returning home from our Aruba vacation. Life has been such a whirlwind between work, family, and juggling all the balls. And trying to stay sort of sane in the process.
So it was nice to go for a great run outside. Admire the flowers and clear my head for a half hour.
And I came in for 20 minutes of yoga at home, i.e. garage yoga. Which felt great! I always get much better yoga practices in when the outdoor temperature is warmer. It’s still not “hot” here by any stretch. About 75F and sunny. I’ll take it!
From my last post, Manly Food & Girly Food, it was fun to read about how you classify food, as manly or girly, or if you think there is such a thing as “manly” or “girly” food. Most of you conceded that most desserts seem to be more “girly food” and that women seem to just gravitate towards desserts more so than men, in general. But of course, there are always exceptions.
Exceptions like Scott absolutely loving this dessert.

Questions:
1. Best thing you’ve eaten or done so far this weekend?
Spending time with Skylar, baking, and enjoying the weather are my highlights so far.
I will go with today’s baking project that I’ll be blogging about soon.
And before that, it was the No Bake Nutella & Peanut Butter Graham Bars with Chocolate Frosting
Enjoy your weekend!
I don’t have a sweet tooth, but this post has me craving sweets like crazy!!!!
I love that Skylar is a goofball, because I am one too :-)
Bought a fresh pineapple the other day and I didn’t get a bite of it. My grandson (18 yrs old) ate the whole thing. No special preparations or fancy desserts needed for him. He loves fresh fruit! I just love this site. The pictures make me drool, too.
WOW!!!!!! A trolling I must go…. AMAZING GOODNESS!
We only have one really nice set of sheets so we almost always throw it in the wash, dry it and throw it right back onto the bed. I don’t think we’ve used our other two set of sheets for like months! lol
About to go pick up my niece and nephew to hang with them today. Maybe we should get some fun stuff and make something yummy!
The RK treats were a HUGE hit!! I bet they would have been even better if I’d frosted them and put on butterscotch chips. Next time.
Because there will be a next time really soon, since I know that you can freeze them now. winkwink
Agreed on laundry, gets old quick! Great dessert pics!
1. Worked on the office and saw Super 8.
2. Wow, I have baked any desserts in a long time. I guess roasted veggies was the last thing I baked that turned out well.
I know I say it all the time, but she’s Skylar is so darn cute. I made some chocolate chip peanut butter cookie balls for a party (huge hit and SOOOO easy).
The best thing I have eaten this weekend must have been the dark chocolate that i dipped in my almond-flax butter! That is really my type of treat :)
Anything made with condensed milk tastes so good but makes me feel so awful; I’ll have to skip that one.
Pineapple looks great, but it always gets edged out by something I like even better: watermelon! which tends to hog up all my extra fridge space. Why do those two have to share the same season?
I love changing my sheets. May sound weird, but it makes me feel like our room is so fresh and clean! mmm can’t wait to see your latest invention. The last awesome thing I baked was almond butter cookies I made yesterday to bring with us to Josh’s family today. Weekend has been good. Josh and I went to the gym with his brother and girlfriend yesterday morning, which was AWESOME and then went for a really long walk at night. Its the best way for us to catch up and spend time together
