Chocolate, Caramel & Pecan S’More Dip With JaM Cellars

August 28, 2017 by Kristin 2 Comments

Thank you JaM Cellars for sponsoring this post. Looking for Butter Chardonnay or JaM Cabernet near you? Check out our Store Locator! Just pop in your zip code.

It’s hard to believe another summer has flown right by! And even though the fall season is officially at the end of September, it won’t feel like fall in Texas until months later. That means no campfires for us {yet}, but why should that mean being left out of the s’mores party?

A s’mores dip is such an easy way to turn an ordinary moment into fun. And pairing with a glass of melt-in-your-mouth Butter Chardonnay or berry-licious JaM Cabernet is a wonderful way to make the moment even more special. Seriously, what could be better than sipping on Butter Chardonnay and JaM Cab while both making this sweet treat and enjoying it with friends? And since both bottles are under $20, a s’mores and wine combo also makes for a fun moment that won’t break the bank.

And because this s’mores dip can be made in your home and without access to a fire, it can truly be enjoyed all year long {not just as you’re mourning summer coming to an end}.

I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Homemade Granola With Quinoa & Coconut Chips

Smoothie Bowl

Can you believe it’s been over two years since I’ve made my favorite granola recipe?? The same recipe that I’ve raved about a lot lately.  As if I made it all the time.  As if I made it just the other day..

Homemade Granola with Fruit and Milk

I parked myself in the kitchen over the weekend and whipped up a batch. I munched here, I munched there. I made granola desserts with milk, strawberries, and bananas.  I made açaí smoothie bowls topped with granola, mango, strawberries and bananas. And before I knew it, I was left with crumbs. I had eaten my way through a seemingly impossible-to-finish jar of granola.  And two years later, I’m just as pleased with this granola recipe as I was from the very start.

Vegan Dark Chocolate Fruit Dip

Vegan Chocolate Fruit Dip

At any given time, I have about four cans of Trader Joe’s coconut cream in my fridge.  It is my go-to dessert in a crisis. You know, the kind of crisis when you’re on a health kick, craving something sweet, and there isn’t a sweet thing to be found in your kitchen?  Coconut cream makes the struggle less real.

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate

When cold and whipped, coconut cream takes on almost the exact consistency of whipped cream, making it perfect for topping fruit.  Remember those piña colada skewers I made a while back?  So. Good.

Vegan Chocolate Fruit Dip 2

Made with finely grated dark chocolate and cocoa powder, the chocolate version of this whipped coconut cream recipe is a delicious dessert addition to any menu.

Homemade Fruit On The Bottom Yogurt

January 24, 2016 by Kristin 2 Comments

Blackberry Fruit On The Bottom Greek Yogurt

Gosh, have I been on a yogurt kick lately!  So much so that I feel a little guilty for the amount of plastic that’s been making its way to the recycle bin.  In an effort to reduce the amount of single serve cups {and refined sugar} I’m consuming, I took it upon myself to test out a homemade version.  And I can’t believe I haven’t been going about yogurt this way all along.

Blackberries and Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar is much lower on the glycemic index than granulated sugar, making it a completely decent choice for breakfast and dessert alike.  And if blackberries aren’t your thing, you can swap out blackberries for blueberries or strawberries.

🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COV 🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COVID, buying/renovating a house, and Ez hating the car, we've stayed put. But with the newness of our neighborhood wearing off and going on 6 months of the same old stuff, we all needed a change of scenery. And quickly after arrival, I already had a list of #dosanddonts in mind for future #staycations 🙈🤓 Below are a few less-than-pro tips from our weekend. I'd love for you to share any ideas or experiences in the comments below! And if you have any recs for hotels within an hour-ish from Austin, let me know! ❤️❤️

🔆🔆🔆DO🔆🔆🔆
🔸Choose a property with hotel room doors that open to the outdoors. It was such a relief staying at a place where we could minimize touching public surfaces. 
🔸Stay in a place that is closed to the public and requires reservations for amenities. I loved being able to make reservations for the pool area and being able to keep our distance from other guests. It was stressful that the time slots we wanted were full on the first day, but it ended up working out both days. 
🔸Stay in a place that has green space. Nobody wants to stay couped up in a hotel room, so having access to nature or a grassy area is hugely helpful. 
🔸 Stay in a place that has on-site/flexible food options or is in a good delivery zone. I liked that the staff here was more than willing to bring our food out to an empty pavilion by the lawn near our room.
🔸Give extra smiles and tip generously if you're able. Many hospitality employees have been out of work and/or have reduced tips/income based on establishments operating at lower capacities. Extra tips and being friendly go a long way!

🔆🔆🔆DON'T🔆🔆🔆
🔸Visit a densely populated area. Shame on me for thinking #thedomain would be a safe place to visit, but it wasn't. Within the limits of our hotel was fine, but as soon as we walked near other businesses we could see packed patios, crowded sidewalks, and more unmasked people than I've seen since early March. Our next #minivacay will be more secluded. 
🔸Ok other than doing the opposite of the DO list, I only have one DON'T 👆🏻👆🏻

And I shouldn't have to say this, but our hotel stay/meals were #notsponsored ✌🏻

Challenge accepted 🤍🖤
#womensupportingwomen 
Nominated by @atxfitfoodie & @ambermcho - two of the most supportive women I know 🤍🖤

A long time friend of mine (@katiewyattreynolds , another strong and supportive woman) shared a post about how this challenge is "basically useless and self serving". I'm not calling her out, it just got me thinking. I also sent her a text nomination. Hugs, KT 🤗

Basically useless is super objective. What's useless to one might be inspirational to another, no? Do women inherently find self promotion challenging? I think so (I do 🙋🏻‍♀️). I saw this challenge as a gentle nudge to let a woman know that you're thinking about her, you see her, and you acknowledge her challenges (both seen and unseen). 2020 is ROUGH. Seeing these messages felt like a hug in a time when hugs aren't allowed. 

Is this challenge self serving? I'm not sure, but so what if it is? This self needs to be served from time to time - putting everything else first all the time can't be good for ya, right? 😉

Do you know any #blackowned restaurants in Austin that could use some love in the form of coverage and photos? LMK in the comments below and I'll make it a priority to pay them a visit and send over some content 📸💞
Have a friend who lives in Atlanta⁉️ Tag 'em‼️My friend @kesi_p recently launched @peachstatedrinks, a #blackowned #womanowned ATL beverage company that makes fresh brown sugar lemon-aid, and it is sooooooo good! 🍋🍋 Like the kind of good where you tell your kids that it's all gone so there's more for you 🙈 We ordered the original and strawberry lemon-aids (they'll ship!), but there's a mango lemon-aid too 🙌🏻 Check them out and make this summer extra delicious 🍹☀️ #atlantageorgia #lemonaid

As a mother, I am fearful of so many things. But I will never understand the fear held deeply within a mother of a Black child. ⠀
My husband and I are listening. And we will continue to hear your stories beyond next week, next month, next year. Because in trying to understand your experiences, we will be able to raise our children better than with our experiences alone. They, too, will be allies because we will do the work. We will not be silent today, next week, next month, next year. ⠀

Dining outdoors has been huge (HUGE!) for us, especially the kids ☀️ ⠀
I'm beyond grateful that the outdoor dining set gifted to us by @thenovogratz arrived just in time for birthday & mother's day festivities 🎉 The table is as hip as it is well made, making us feel like we are dining on the patio of our favorite restaurant 🌿
