*an explanation for this awesome graphic can be found at the bottom of this post Just because we’re living out of a hotel seemingly just waiting for the perfect house to come and find us so we can buy it already doesn’t mean I can’t get a little Valentine’s Day inspiration at the thrift store, right?!?! And because I’m always looking for upcycling ideas for thrift store finds, when I came across this heart mini muffin tin for $0.49 when I was big thriftin’ my first thought was “ice cubes!”. More specifically I thought red, heart shaped ice cubes would be the perfect accompaniment to any Valentine’s Day beverage.

Actually, brownie bites! And, even more importantly, my tips for baking moist brownies (without breaking the calorie count), even when you’re a bad baker.

Now, we all know this isn’t a food blog. (Was that a collective sigh of relief from those who know me in real life I just heard?) ;) But I have a few go-to recipes that even I can’t screw up most of the time. I’ve even tested them at parties and gatherings and no one got sick with resounding success. So it seems safe to share them with y’all. Especially for those of you in the same boat. You know who you are … not super adventurous in the kitchen but willing to give things a try and always on the look out for simple, tasty recipes to mix things up every now and again. With that, I introduce to you, my 3 ingredient hummus.
