RECIPES. Skinny frozen peanut butter pie. This pie. Wow. When I was brainstorming birthday cake recipes to make for Kevin’s birthday, I got a brainfreeze. It may OR may not have been from the orange creamsicle I was inhaling, but I’m pretty sure it was because I was SO overwhelmed with all the sprinkle-y, chocolate buttercream-y, and death-by-chocolate thoughts swirling in my head. I threw up my hands and asked friends on my Facebook what I should make.

I got so many wonderful ideas, so thank you for sending them in! Lucky for my tastebuds, Kevin loves peanut butter & chocolate as much as I do, so I knew his birthday treat HAD to involve the mighty duo. AND I love a skinny dessert as much as the next girl! Using some lighter alternatives, I made one home run pie that I honestly think will be demanded at each and every birthday going forward. I couldn’t stop slicing off little slivers, which was embarrassing because it wasn’t even my own birthday. I wanted more of this pie the second it was all gone. This pie. Ingredients: Filling. Skinny frozen mint chocolate chip pie. An lightened-up frozen mint chocolate chip pie with a cool minty Oreo crust. No baking! When I like something, I really like something. I have 7 pairs of Nike Tempo running shorts in different colors. I own 4 pairs of fuzzy moccasin slippers, I eat peanut butter like it’s going out of style, and I bake cookies ALL the time.

When I like you, I LOVE you. Such is the case with my Skinny Frozen Peanut Butter Pie I made a couple weeks ago. It was Kevin’s “birthday cake” and we adored it. So when we got an invite for another party this past weekend, that pie is all I could think about. I need you to know how simple this dessert is to make. But oh my gosh. For this minty chocolate pie, I creamed together thawed fat free Cool Whip, reduced fat cream cheese, a bit of sugar, and a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder. I didn’t use any mint extract in the pie, so the minty taste comes from a couple little minty extras. It’s so easy, you could do it with your eyes closed! Ingredients: Oreo Cookie Crust.

Authentic hummus: love it, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about here. This is the Lindsay-making-hummus-at-home-in-less-than-30-minutes hummus variety. Which actually is my favorite variety, because spending 30 minutes making something that lasts for lots of lunches is a time steal.

In a good way. Know this. Unless you have some sort of amazing blender that can whoosh anything, everything, one hundred percent smooth and creamy – does that even exist? There’s not a nice way to say it. You’re going to start a chickpea peeling party, but then it’s going to be sort of boring and you’re going to feel crabby at me. The texture is so much better when you peel the skins off. I mean, look at that silky smoothness. Now, I think you should eat that silky smoothness. Super Easy Homemade Hummus Author: Pinch of Yum Prep time: Total time: Serves: 10-12 Ingredients 2 cans chickpeas 1 clove garlic 2-3 tablespoons olive oil up to ½ cup water ½ teaspoon salt Instructions Notes.
