Frozen Banana Pops Covered in Chocolate Taste Like Dilly Bars

September 2, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

These delicious frozen chocolate covered banana pops covered in chocolate are the perfect semi-healthy treat for a hot summer day. Or any day, really. The frozen bananas taste so similar to ice cream (especially when you use super ripe bananas), but you get the benefit of potassium, no added sugar and no dairy. The chocolate candy shell is just icing on top.

How To Make Cake Pops (and keep cake pops on the stick)

August 5, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hey friends! Remember I talked about making birthday cake pops on Monday? I hadn’t made cake pops in quite some time and forgot what kind of work goes into them, so I decided that I would re-do a post I did over 3 years ago (before I even had a fancy camera!).

Hopefully this solves some of the mysteries behind how to make cake pops. And how to keep cake pops on the stick! (<-the struggle is real.)

June 26, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

semi healthy cooking for one via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

Cooking for one can be tricky. Especially healthy cooking for one.

Most recipes I find tend to feed 6 or more. While there’s nothing wrong with eating leftovers, not everything is meant to be frozen.
