Soooo…remember way back when we did the poll on frozen pies? And I told you my divas were mad at all of you because they wanted the cookies and cream one? Well the other day I noticed my puppy was missing. On the kitchen counter was my batter bowl and under it was a note that said, “Make our pie …

~~by Nikki So since it seems we’ve been on a tour of “Nik’s favorite summer flavors (as told through protein shakes)” I figured I’d continue the trend here. This was one of the first non-standard protein shakes I learned how to make and it still serves me well when I have a taste for it. Now I know what some …

~~by Nikki I am a poet and I didn’t even know it! Ok, so I live in Baltimore. Jen is in New Jersey. Both our states are embroiled (never before has that been the MOST appropriate adjective) in a heat wave! It was 105 degrees in Baltimore yesterday, beating the record of 101 set in 1999. At 11 p.m. it …

~~by Nikki I don’t know about you all, but as a kid, ice cream was a BIG part of my summer. Besides begging my parents to buy the stuff, I spent a good portion of my childhood chasing down the Good Humor man. But my favorite…my absolute favorite…was Neopolitan ice cream (which, being a kid, I called “Napoleon” ice cream). …

Before I start, let me say this: my children are very angry with all of you. I put the poll up on the blog and they just KNEW you would choose cookies and cream. Each day they checked the blog excited to see their favorite race to the finish line. And each day it was with a mixed sense of …

by Nikki For years, I went to Baltimore’s Cross Street market just for fruit salad from a particular stall that has been there…oh…I dunno…since God said “let there be light” and there was light…and that guy with a bowl of fruit salad. Nowadays I am on a budget. I am also living a bit differently. So it was a happy occassion …

~~Posted by Jen I love chocolate.  I mean deeply and truly. So, like we say at Pouch Parties, we don’t mandate anyone. Everyone is the master of their own pouch. I personally subscribe to the “all things in moderation” philosophy, because I know what works for me and what doesn’t.   If I get into the “diet mentality” and start listing things I …

Hey kids! This is the first in a series of guest posts we’re doing over here at BF. Cuz we’re not the only ones with good ideas or inspiration to share! This one comes from Tony H. our Zumba-loving, Click-drinking friend from OH. Tony wrote to me about this recipe and at first I was lukewarm. He has since convinced …

Cuz it’s a ROCKY ROAD baby! So here’s the quick and dirty version of how this dessert came to be. It started in church (doesn’t everything?). I was greeter so essentially my job is to hand out the church programs to people coming in. There is also this magazine for kids and pre-teens called “Pockets from the Upper Room.” Well …

Ok, first of all…how come everytime I’m about to post something really good my camera starts to act stupid? Let’s discuss THAT. (or not) Protein cheesecake…YAY!!! 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 …
