I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Although it will be past Valentine’s Day, I’ll be posting a couple of recipes this week- better late than never, right? You can always get a massive head start on next year! Chocolate-Strawberry Cupcakes For the cupcakes: Ingredients: 2 cups sugar 1 3/4 cups flour 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2Read more

Tonight was Taco night at the Constable house. Although we had regular ground beef tacos tonight, I remembered that I still hadn’t blogged about the delicious steak tacos we had last week! These tacos are pretty incredible. They have steak (we used ribeye) that is rubbed and marinated in an herb paste, then grilled. It also has an extra tangyRead more

Uh oh. There is a Greek café close to us that gets our lunchtime business every once in a while. Unfortunately for them, this recipe puts their comparable “chicken pita” to shame. It reminds me of theirs, but it’s leaps and bounds better. I even made skinny fries and sprinkled them with seasoning salt like they do. I think nextRead more

If you didn’t know, Saturday was World Nutella Day, which we absolutely celebrated at the Constable household. It turned into Nutella weekend, with Nutella covered waffles on Sunday.

Hello wonderfully creamy, low-fat, low-calorie treat made from only frozen bananas and peanut butter! Honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this on my own. I was already using frozen bananas in smoothies to make them thick and creamy, without having to use milk, yogurt or even ice. When blended, frozen bananas turn into an almost soft-serve-like consistency, whichRead more

January weather is my kind of summer. I much prefer 75 degrees over 110 degrees. I mean, who wouldn’t? In Arizona you have to take advantage of the “winter weather” and enjoy the outdoors before it gets hot again. James and I are making a point to spend more time outside while the weather is so nice. This weekend weRead more
