It’s all about Buttercream today folks!
It is one of my favorite things to make, and it is not as hard as you may think. All it takes is a little patience. One of my favorite buttercream’s to make is Italian Buttercream, you can’t go wrong with it. It’s definitely my go to buttercream when I am decorating or frosting a cake.
It is not greasy, heavy or overly sweet. It’s perfect.
Let’s get started….
I am a total avid youtube watcher, it’s a serious addiction. I have been following a few channels for quite sometime now, but one of my favorite channels is called HeyKayli. I just love her, she is so crafty and down -to -earth. If I was a ‘youtuber,’ I would want a channel like hers.
The other day I saw she made some non-alcoholic tropical drinks with her two kids. And I thought “I have to make those for Sophia.” Considering we only have about a month left of summer these drinks are perfect way to celebrate the season a little bit longer.
I was at the store the other day picking up some odds and ends, when I came across popsicle molds. So, I thought it would be a perfect week to share my Greek Yogurt Fruit Bars. This is also a much healthier version of “ice cream,” that you could even give to the kiddos for breakfast or it would make a perfect late night snack.
My friend Paula texted me last week and told me about this awesome deal that Blue Apron was advertising, basically I would get 3 meals (for two people) for ten dollars. So I immediately jumped on that opportunity.
Last night was our first night of trying Blue Apron, we had their Brown Butter Cod. I loved it! I have never made Cod before so we were definitely pleased with the results.
My mom makes the best egg rolls known to man kind. I am really picky with egg rolls. This summer I have been having a really hard time find a Chinese restaurant where their egg rolls aren’t mushy inside. So I have been dying for my moms egg rolls they are super good and very versatile.
I am going to share with you her recipe that she made up herself. A lot of my moms recipes are to taste meaning your add as much or as little as you want of certain spices.
Sophia and I have have been going to our local pool recently several days a week this summer. She is my little fish. Anyways I have been trying to incorporate more fruits into our diets this summer and let me say it has been such a success. Thankfully, Sophia isn’t a picky eater and loves fruit.
I have been having a really bad fruit obsession I am always buying it. Right now we have Raspberries, Blueberries, Watermelon, Mango, Strawberries, peaches and an apple (only 1) all on hand.
When we wake up in the morning I will make us Oatmeal, because I know it is something that we both enjoy. And it usually holds us over until lunch time.
On days we go to the pool I tend to pack a variety of snacks. I always carry water bottles in our cooler, one gatorade and of course our fruit. I mainly eat the cashews, blueberries and cheese. Sophia eats a little bit of everything, but I think her least favorite are the blueberries.
As we hit close to August, I am trying to think of some other types of snacks to bring…something a little different. I am aiming for healthy items..but give us more of a variety.
Does anyone have any ideas? What is in your pool snack bag?
