Chocolate Chickpea Truffles

The best part about fights is when you make up afterwards, right? To be completely honest, I don’t really have much experience with fighting/making up because Chris and I don’t really ever fight.  I”m serious.  We’re pretty good at talking rationally with each other and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to say [...]

After going for a few months (several years in kitchen prep time) without a food processor, I can finally say that my kitchen is Food Processor equipped! To break in my new toy, my man, Chickpea, decided to help out!  Inspired by nothing but the season and the chocolate chips hiding in the back of [...]

Not too long ago, I did a post on entertaining search terms that are used to find Keepin’ It Kind.  These search terms, along with the comments in the spam folder, give me great joy when I read them. Now I’ve got a few more to add to the list. To the people who found [...]

The Chickpea surprised me with something really sweet the other day. I know I’m a little late to the roasted chickpea party.  I don’t know what took me so long to get here or why I put it off for so long.  I guess I didn’t think I’d like them?  I thought I’d be put [...]

Cardamom Oatmeal Fig Cookies

Chris told me recently that “It’s not quite dessert unless there’s chocolate in it.”  Is there any question as to why I adore him? So I was all set to make some sort of chocolatey dessert to surprise him with after a long, hard day of work, when I found that I was out of [...]

When I was younger, my grandparents used to take all of us grandkids on huge camping trips every summer.  These camping trips hold some of my fondest memories of my cousins.  There was a large rock in the middle of the lake and we all had the goal to be able to climb up on [...]

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

My mom used to keep candy in her purse.  She had various flavors of lifesavers- rootbeer, butterscotch, mint, and the classic rainbow of fruit.  She had hard candies and soft candies. Sometimes there were bags of m&m’s, Reese’s Pieces, or Skittles.  At Halloween time, you can bet there were a variety of halloween candies nestled [...]

Growing up, my mom and I would make cookies from one of those pre-made Pillsbury “Chocolate Chip Flavored” Cookie Dough rolls.  We would make them in the evening and by the next morning (after I ate the last couple for breakfast), they were all gone.  This is due to the fact that we would leave [...]

So, apparently there is a “blog rally” going on.  A rally which requires the blogger who is handed the baton, to write about hope.  My wonderful friend, Cara, handed me the baton on Friday.  I had something completely different written for this post, but deleted it all in the name of “hope.” The word “hope” [...]

This round is a dessert round, and the rules were changed just a little, allowing every contestant to use all the time they [...]

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting

www.samlimstudio.com This last Saturday was mine and Chris’s first wedding anniversary.  A year ago, we went to Beverly Hills City Hall and eloped, then walked to a local cupcake shop for our “wedding cake.”  We chose the red velvet as our cake because we’re both quite fond of those brightly-hued beauties.  Since we had so [...]

Happy Independence Day to all my U.S. friends! Back in northern California, Gordon, one of my old personal training clients (whose daughter later became one of my best friends) used to have a huge 4th of July party every year.  There was a huge potluck, swimming, a mini-golf competition, way too much alcohol, and then [...]

Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you?  Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great.  Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday.  [...]

Blackberry Cuppins

By keepinitkind On June 15, 2012 · 27 Comments · In Bread & Muffins, Breakfast & Brunch, Dessert, Gluten-Free, Recipes

“What’s a Cuppin,” you ask?  Well, it’s what would happen if a muffin and a cupcake got together and had a baby.  A super-rad, totally scrumptious baby. I recently wanted to recreate this recipe, but with blackberries.  Blackberries are one of Chris’s favorites, so I thought it would be a nice way to say “thank [...]

Vegan M&M Cookies

One of my earliest memories of grocery shopping is riding around in the shopping cart, eating an M&M cookie from Safeway’s (in Southern California, they’re Von’s) bakery, while my mom did her shopping.  M&M cookies were always the fun cookie, a very special treat.  You could get chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies any ol’ time, [...]

My body craves sweet things sometimes.  It just does.  I refuse to deny it sweet things when that’s what it wants because the craving will build and build until I end up robbing a candy store completely over-doing it.  Chris and I try to prevent this from happening by having a small dessert after dinner [...]

On mine and Chris’s first date, Chris and I “argued” (I’m using that term very loosely) over who had the better set of grandparents.  I had never met someone who raved about their grandparents as much as I do.  After about eight months of dating, I got to meet Chris’s twins, and shortly thereafter, I [...]

Platinum Blondies

For the longest time, I had platinum blond hair.  I don’t want to say it was completely the fault of the 90’s, but they definitely contributed.  I don’t know what possessed me to bleach my already blond hair and fill it with golden “lowlights,” as my hair dresser called them.  Year after year, though, no [...]
