Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream

This is seriously THE best ice cream I have ever had! And it's not even real ice cream! I would've given some to Aubree but I never remembered about it until she was asleep.

Anyways, freeze a couple bananas. It only takes about 10 minutes for them to freeze depending on your freezer. When they are frozen out them into a food processor or blender and blend until it is smooth and creamy. Then add however much peanut butter you want to. I put about 1 1/2 tbsp. I also added my body fortress chocolate peanut butter protein powder in it to make it a great post workout snack. You blend it all together. Put it in a freezer safe container and you are done! :)

How to Make Red, White, & Blue Fruit Kabobs

These fruit kabobs are such a pretty food to make for the 4th of July. You could have the kids make them to let them feel involved in the cooking process for a party. 

Ingredients:

mini star marshmallows

raspberries

blueberries

strawberries- cut in halves or quartered

wooden skewers

Take the ingredients and layer them onto each skewer. I would start each of them with at least 1 blueberry the other fruits slide of the skewers otherwise. I also wouldn't start with a marshmallow because when you slide it down the skewer it rips apart if there isnt any berry juice to help slide it along.

Nutella Cookie Recipe

These are amazing! I love Nutella and these cookies just furthered my love for it :)

Ingredients:

1 cup Nutella

1 cup flour

1 egg

Combine together in a mixing bowl. Mix will be crumby. It won't be a gooey consistency.

Make balls of it and put it on the cookie sheets.

Now you can leave them in balls or you can squish them down with a spoon or fork. I squished them after they were baked but I think I would've rather have them stay in balls.

Bake 6-8 minutes at 350 degrees.

I think the next time I make them, I'm going to try putting some mini chocolate chips or maybe some mini marshmallows in them :)

Homemade Cheese Cracker(Cheez-its) Recipe

These cheese crackers are incredible!!!! I think that they taste better then cheez-its!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (i used margarine because we didn't have butter and they came out fine)

3/4 cup flour, plus extra for dusting

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes(if you don't like spicy I suggest cutting it in half or not putting it in at all)

1 tablespoon milk

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Put everything except the milk into a food processor. I didn't have one so i used a blender which worked just as well. Pulse it for about 5 seconds for 5 or 6 times, until the dough is coarse crumbs.

Add the milk and pulse until the dough forms a ball.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it is about an 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Put a little bit of flour onto the blade so that it doesn't stick to the dough.

Use a toothpick or the flat end of a skewer and poke a hole in the center of each square.

Place the crackers about 1/4 inch apart on parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Bake them for about 12-15 minutes until the edges start to brown.

You can store them in a covered container to eat within a day or two.

How To Make 5 Minute Berry Cobbler

This is seriously the best tasting cobbler I have ever had in my entire life!!!

This is a really easy and quick dessert that tastes amazing. It can cook while you are eating dinner and it'll be warm for dessert time.

Ingredients:

1 can of sprite

1 box of cake mix, I used yellow cake, but you can use white or french vanilla

1 bag of mix berries

Grease a 13x9 pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spread the berries on the bottom of the pan evenly.

Then sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the berries. Make sure to use the whole bag.

Pour the can of sprite over the cake mix slowly. DO NOT stir the cake mix and the soda. It will not make the crust if you do.

Bake it for 45-50 minutes or until the crust starts to brown.

Don't worry if the crust still has some cake mix that wasn't touched by the sprite. It is supposed to look like that. Serve with some vanilla ice cream for an amazing dessert :)
