Super Simple Smoothie Recipe
Super simple smoothie recipe? Um, yes please. Only it’s not like a bitter green sea monster. But it’s a tasty treat you won’t even know is totally good for you. And you can even make it in those hours before morning coffee…
The spring time change is coming. I’m not a morning person. Not a good combination when looking at losing an hour. I’ve been across the international date line a few times, so I’m no wimp, but early mornings suck, K?

Easy Homemade Vanilla Extract
Easy homemade vanilla extract. Oh yes, it sure is. You’d be surprised that it’s easier than you think. You may never buy it again.
A while back, my family and I went to Mexico, the Yucatan to be exact. I was giddy in the store buying drinking chocolate and vanilla extract. That bottle of deep noted (stop, I’m not sommelier or anything) vanilla extract lasted me a little less than a year. It made me weak in the knees. But to go back and purchase it was, well, a little out of a yearly price range.
Then I found a recipe to make it myself. It goes beautifully in hot chocolate.
It’s super easy, promise. I even hesitate to call this a “recipe”, as it’s more of a method. But hey, roll with me here.

If you’re stuck for ideas, try one of these five sweets. Don that apron and get ready for a night in. It’s Valentine’s Day baby, so pucker up!
