Treat your inner child with Fudgesicles from Numi Organic Tea!

 Fudgesicles from Numi Organic Tea

Sometimes grown-ups need a special treat too!  When I saw this recipe I knew it would be something my husband and I would enjoy.  It starts with a base of milk, cream, and sugar, but the magic begins once you add Numi Organic Tea, pink peppercorns, vanilla bean, orange peel, and chocolate.  The flavors combine to make a fudgesicle that's creamy and oh so delicious!

No-Churn English Toffee Ice Cream (only 3 ingredients)

Three simple ingredients turn into a delicious and creamy no-churn ice cream!

Summer is almost here which means it's ice cream time; my kids would eat ice cream every day if I allowed them.  We live in a very rural area where there are only two ice cream stands and each of them are a distance away.  So instead of running there all the time I came up with a simple no-churn ice cream that we can make anytime we want!  This recipe only requires three ingredients and it's not complicated at all...even the kids can make it too.  It's rich, creamy and delicious!

High Protein, Low Sugar Halo Top Ice Cream

Halo Top ice cream is the perfect way to start the summer!

In our house we have a lot of ice cream lovers!  However most of the time we have to limit our intake since a lot of ice creams have higher fat and a lot of sugar.  Now don't get me wrong, it's the cream that makes the ice cream so creamy and delicious, but that means it's not something we indulge in every day.  Then I learned of Halo Top ice cream that is low calorie, high in protein and low in sugar...I wondered, is it too good to be true?

Delicious Sweet Treats without the Guilt + a giveaway!

To say I'm a coffee lover is an under statement!  I get up at 5am every morning and as soon as my teeth are brushed I grab a cup of coffee.  I drink it throughout the day, and actually up until I go to bed at 11:30pm.   I just love the warm comforting feeling, and it tastes so good too!  Even if it's 100 degrees outside you'll find me drinking a cup of coffee.  My husband thinks I'm crazy, but my gram doesn't because she does the same thing, so at least I know where I get it from!  I recently tried Friendly's Ice Cream Flavored k-cups and I'm one happy camper because you get the subtle ice cream flavors without all the guilt!  

National Diabetes Month with Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom

 

 

This post brought to you by Blue Bunny Ice Cream. The content and opinions expressed below are that of http://www.flourmewithlove.com/.

Before you know it November will be here and that means it's National Diabetes Month.   This is very dear to me because my grandfather is a diabetic and I also have PCOS.  What does that mean to us?  Well we have to look for delicious treats that are lower in sugar and carbs.  Luckily for us Blue Bunny has come out with a line called Sweet Freedom. What's so special about Blue Bunny®? Blue Bunny® is the first national brand of packaged ice cream and frozen novelties to offer an extensive array of no sugar added options.  Sweet Freedom treats taste indulgent while still meeting key nutritional needs for the sugar conscious consumer.  These delicious treats are lower in carbs, calories and they have no sugar added! So we get to indulge every once in awhile too.  My husband and I love eating ice cream straight from the bowl and they offer half gallons of delicious and creamy flavors like Vanilla, Bunny Tracks, Butter Pecan and Banana Split. 

Sweet Freedom with Sweet Treats!

I am so excited to share with you today the new line of Sweet Freedom treats from Blue Bunny®.   A lot of people don't know that I have PCOS, I'm Insulin Resistant and Diabetes runs on both sides of our family.  So you may think it's crazy that I run a blog about desserts!  Before I cooked healthy, I baked a lot and just ate in moderation.  I never worried about the sugar/carbs going into me.  Then I started having some problems and was diagnosed with PCOS and Insulin Resistance.  Once diagnosed I needed to find a balance where we could still enjoy some treats, but also not go overboard.  What we've found that works the best for our family is Sunday through Thursday we eat a low sugar/low carb lifestyle and we're a little more lenient on Friday and Saturday.  At first it took some time to get used to, however now it's like second nature.  Eating this way doesn't make us feel like we're giving up anything and it's gotten my insulin and all of my symptoms under control.
