Who doesn't want a little "Pick me up Buttercup" in the morning!? ;) A tester for a chocolate mocha nut butter cup! Yum

Day one. Attempt one. My first of hopefully many batches of Kambucha.
Kambucha is a fermented tea that helps cleanse the body and improve digestion and also your immune system.
However I must acquire the virtue of patience here as it will take 30 days for the process to be complete.

Something different today... I roasted a chicken and will use the bones to make a broth in the crockpot overnight. Very easy and more nutritious then a store bought broth.

Such a great weekend for Simply Sweetened! I had the opportunity to promote my company with an amazing group of women at Crossfit StCharles last night and broke 200 likes!! Thanks so much everyone and please stay tuned for my web-site to be up and ready to place orders soon!

Ready to get back at things after the holidays and all those glorious snow days!! Starting my day with a hot cup of coffee and my new apple pie protein bars. I used an egg white protein to keep things dairy free. Look for these tomorrow night, ladies night at CrossFit StCharles! :)

It was sort of a rough weekend of testing recipes for me. I ran into a few snags here and there but with some alterations I managed to get things worked out.
I did work in a little break on Saturday to build a snowman with my roommate after all that beautiful snow! :)

Cupcakes for my dear friend Mayra's law firm, Flesner and Wentzel.

First attempt of the apple pie turned out so so. Apples were cut too big and juice was too runny, but was told it still had good flavor which I can work with! Thanks to Wentzville Firehouse 4 for being my guinea pigs with this.

A little over a week until Christmas, I can't believe it's almost here!
I know I'm overdue on posting this but if anyone is interested in some deliciously healthy treats to bring to those holiday parties, I am taking orders.
I've tried about a dozen new recipes and got the best response from these.
Breads will be $12 a loaf and I'm doing a sweet potato everything and a fruit cake.
Cookies will be $10 a dozen and I'm doing chocolate chip, almond pecan, snikerdoodle and my take on the peanut butter Hershey's kiss cookies.
And of course you can still get either pecan pie and I'd like to try an apple pie this weekend. I'll post if it turns out.
Please place orders by December 20th. Thanks all and Happy Holidays!!

Trying out cookie recipes for Christmas. Chocolate chip is delicious and a definite yes. The "snikerdoodle" ended up tasting like black licorice, most likely NOT keeping these on the menu. The almond pecan were tasty, sort of a different flavor not sure if it's good or bad yet. I'll let my family be the judge today! ;) Any requests please feel free to post in comments!
