Save time with this Kitchen Tip!

by Princess Lacey on May 21, 2013| 128 Pageviews

I wanted to share with you a trick that I use. Instead of spending a lot of time carefully slicing carrots I use a vegetable peeler. I use this tip to help save time…which is something we all need more of! I use the carrot shavings to put on top of salads and I use them instead of match stick carrots in fried rice and in stir fry.

What are some of your time saving tips in the kitchen? Don’t keep your smarts to yourself…share them with me @ PrincessLacey@consumerqueen.com

Banana Cake

by Princess Lacey on May 14, 2013| 661 Pageviews

Whenever bananas go bad in my house I usually make banana bread. It’s easy and delicious…only problem is it only last like an hour and then it’s gobbled up!  This time when I had 3 over ripe bananas I made a banana cake. YUM! I’m not a huge cake eater…don’t get me wrong I like cake, but I don’t really like the store bought cakes that are served at birthday parties with 2 inches worth of frosting. ( And are my kids the only ones that just get the 2 inches of frosting and then leave the cake?!) I like these kind of cakes. Cakes that are a little more fancy than just chocolate or vanilla.

It has bananas in it, that makes it healthy right?!

So next time you have some bananas that are past their prime, give this recipe a try!
