Have you ever heard of a Tagine? Or maybe you’re wondering how to cook with a tagine?
If you’ve used them before, then you know what I’m talking about when I say it is amazing to cook with! I’ve had mine for YEARS and it is still one of my favorites to cook with.

Ever let your Bananas get overripe? Don’t throw them out! Make this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe.
I’m legitimately obsessed with banana bread. I honestly can’t get enough and when I do make it, it doesn’t last long at our house. My kids like it, my husband likes it, and I like it so it’s usually gone within a day.
This past year or so, if you followed along with me on Instagram you know that when states started shutting down my toddler had some issues that needed to be addressed right away (2 oral surgeries), but with limited spots at doctors’ offices due to the shut down his eating was delayed severely (his therapist put him at over a year behind for his eating delay). He was in therapy for 8 months and finally caught up, but, one of the things he LOVED was banana bread! We would actually have to use it as a reward during therapy. So, I started making a ton of it, and he’s a kid, so of course I decided to try to add some chocolate chips to it. I mean, why not?!
That’s how the whole Chocolate Chip Banana Bread thing started at our house. Now it’s something I literally buy extra bananas for and deliberately let them ger overripe just so we can make this chocolate chip banana bread recipe.
I also like making these Cream Cheese Banana Muffins, so be sure to check them out!

Who here loves a good copycat recipe? Well this Caramel Frappe Recipe will not disappoint!
*raises both hands* I know I do.
I have a small confession to make, I am obsessed with Frozen Caramel Coffee Drinks! Whether it’s a Caramel Frappe from McDonalds, or a Frozen Caramel Marvel from Biggby, if it’s frozen coffee with Caramel, I will probably like it!
This recipe is very similar to a Frozen Caramel marvel from Biggby (random fact about me – I used to be barista at Biggby while I was in Law School). However, it’s a lot closer to a Caramel Frappe recipe because of the coffee I choose to use.
I have fallen in love with making coffee drinks like this at home for a couple reasons, the biggest one being it not only tastes great but it also will save you so much money!

Hi Everyone!
Today is a big deal for me. It is the one year anniversary (Blogaversary if you will) of my very first post on Entirely Kristen! That’s right, my happy little corner of the internet turns one today!
To celebrate this I fully intend on making cookies with my daughter and having a little party! However, on here, I wanted to share with you 10 Life Lessons I learned this past year thanks to blogging.
Hi Everyone!
This is the best Maple Glazed Salmon ever! If you haven’t guessed by my last post I’m on a bit of a recipe kick lately. After our HUGE announcement I’ve been trying to get better at cooking (Baking I love to do and am pretty good at, but cooking… not as much).

Hello Everyone!
So I may very well be the odd ball here, but I LOVED making my own baby food. So I decided to post about How to make Homemade Babyfood! It saved me money and allowed me to know exactly what was in the food I was giving my daughter. This doesn’t mean I never gave her store bought baby food, because eventually I did, but I was very proud when I was the one who made her baby food.
I started baby girl with solid foods at around 6 and a half months old. Up until then (aside from a two week stint on formula because of her hospital stay) she was exclusively on breast milk. This is something I am incredibly proud of. Much more so than I ever expected to be once I entered into motherhood.
But like all babies eventually solid foods needed to be introduced. I knew before she was ever born that I wanted to make her baby food. So once my husband and I decided to start solids I went to work! [Read more…]
Hello Everyone!

We recently made these and absolutely fell in love with them! They taste great and aren’t too difficult to make at all. [Read more…]
Hello Everyone!
I am sorry I’ve missed my Friday posts the last couple weeks. Tons of snow and cold weather has come to town where I live and it aggravated my asthma. I actually ended up in the Hospital the other night, but we finally have a handle on it!! So only posts I had previously scheduled were actually published!
But I wanted to share a fun and easy recipe for Beer Bread with you!
I LOVE Beer Bread and this is SO EASY to make and only requires 3 ingredients! It’s perfect to have when your having guests over (you can be like all the fancy restaurants and bring out some freshly baked bread before dinner!). Or you can just snack on it (I do this more often than I should). [Read more…]
Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to share one of my favorite snacks with you! Almond Butter Snack Balls.
These are super easy to make and if you have a nut allergy you can simply substitute the Almond Butter with a different type of butter.
What you will need:
1 cup of Almond Butter
2 cups of Rolled Oats
2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds
2 tablespoons of Ground Flax Meal
1 cup of Raisins
You will literally just mix all of this together and then roll them into balls. It is that simple. They are quite healthy for you and super tasty!
