My oldest daughter had been longing for an Easy Bake Oven! Her dreams came true this past November when she received one for her 7th birthday. Little did I know how unsavory the cookie mixes were with this oven…thank goodness it’s the memories that count!

Pregnant, Thanksgiving, homemade pies, and a severe burned hand!
Rodelle peaks at the end of each year, thanks to the holiday baking that goes on from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. We love being the center of so many sweet treats! But, when the New Year rolls around, we’ve found a couple of ways to keep your favorite vanilla and cocoa powder handy – without adding on any pounds or breaking any new diets.
A couple good things to know about vanilla extract:
So, this New Year’s, try one of our new, healthy recipes. Keep the Rodelle handy, we’ll have more on the way!
Power-packed green smoothie: Chocolate and peanut butter flavors are enhanced with a little vanilla extract and the spinach is a subtle sweet flavor that you barely notice. Plus, you get 2 servings of veggies and one fruit crossed off your list at breakfast!
Healthy chocolate pudding: We surveyed our friends on Facebook on whether they wanted a smoothie OR a pudding recipe, and the answer was overwhelmingly, PUDDING! This one has an active time of 5 minutes and a chill time of three hours – and our taste-testers never guessed the secret ingredient: avocado. Avocado and chocolate powder combine in this rich-tasting pudding to give you an indulgent flavor, but is light on the carbs and sweetener.
