Apparently, it is the week for pudding! We’ve shared our Homemade Vanilla Pudding recipe, a great idea for a Pudding Parfait in a Jar, and today our Homemade Chocolate Pudding Recipe!

Just like our Homemade Vanilla Pudding recipe, this one is tried and true and worth another share. We wanted to highlight it again as another school year is approaching (I know, I don’t want to talk about it either!). This is a great recipe for an after school snack or to pack in a lunch.

How should you pack it in a lunch, you ask? Well now, check out this fun idea for How to Make Your Own Pudding Cups!

Summer Activities for Kids: Make Ice Cream in 10 Minutes!

Looking for some fun activities to do with your kids this summer? I’ve enjoyed 22 summers with kids (and counting!), so I certainly have a few ideas to share! Stay tuned during the next few weeks as we provide all kinds of suggestions for making your summer with your kids meaningful. (Subscribe here so you won’t miss out!) Today’s idea: Make Ice Cream in 10 Minutes!

Yum

As I was remembering this fun summer activity idea, I decided it would be much more fun to do if we invited friends over to join us! So we sent out the invitation, got our supplies ready, and had a little Ice Cream Making Party!

By the way, we are SO CLOSE to final adoption day for Bonus Boy that I almost waited to post this so that I could show you his precious face. Soon and very soon he will officially be a Coppinger and then all stickers come off!

This “make ice cream in a bag” idea is one of those we always WANT to do, but never seem to get around to ACTUALLY doing. Somehow inviting friends to do it with us made it much more doable, you know? Afterward, the kids played and the moms visited. Bliss! And also, there was ice cream to eat, so double win!

Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 droppers full of liquid stevia, or 3-4 Tablespoons real maple syrup, or 3-4 Tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup rock salt or coarse sea salt
  • Ice
  • quart and gallon sized freezer bags
Instructions
  1. Measure cream, sweetener, and vanilla into a quart-sized freezer bag and seal.
  2. Fill a gallon-sized freezer bag half-full of ice.
  3. Add ½ cup rock salt to the ice.
  4. Place the sealed quart-sized bag filled with ice cream ingredients into the bag of ice and salt. Seal.
  5. Toss the bag back and forth, shaking and tossing for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to ice cream.
  6. Remove the quart-sized bag and rinse the salt off.
  7. Open the bag, scoop out the ice cream, and enjoy!

We moms found that the ice cream shakers needed a little bit of help to get the mixture shaken vigorously enough to turn into ice cream! Also: be sure to do this activity outside!! The bags tend to get drippy. :)

Here are some of our other Simple Ice Cream Recipes.

Use any of these with the above Freezer Bag Toss idea!

Here’s to a great summer of fun with our kids! Here are other ideas we’ve shared so far:

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites – (Gluten and Dairy Free)

by 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

You might notice that this No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites recipe looks identical to our No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars recipe. This one is a fun one to make with your kids!

Yep. You figured it out. Same recipe. One shaped into bars. One shaped into balls. We are so creative, are we not?

Speaking of creative, we’ve got three other simple varieties of this recipe here. Just a few ingredient variations will give you one of these!


Grab the No-Bake Cookie Dough Bite recipes here:

Need Coconut Flour?

I found a great price here!

Need Almond Butter?

It’s hard to find a good price on this! Aldi has been my best option, if and when I can make it there to shop. (I live an hour away from the closest Aldi, boo!) Try to find one without added sugar. Or better yet, if you can find a good price on almonds, make Homemade Almond Butter!

Need Honey?

I much prefer and recommend buying local honey! Otherwise, I recommend buying a big jug from Azure Standard if that is an option for you.

Need Chocolate Chips?

My very favorite chips are these Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips! They are usually more expensive in the summer as they don’t ship well in the heat. So watch for them to go down in price in the fall and winter months, then stock up!

Need Vanilla Extract?

Oh how I love making it myself! Unfortunately, the price of vanilla beans has gone up over the years. Boo. Still, I think it’s best to make it ourselves if we can! Learn how here!

And now, grab your kids and let them help you make these awesome little treats!

Easy Low Sugar Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake

by 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

There are so many wonderful reasons to love the month of May. The school year ends (for most), the frigid weather finally becomes pleasant (in Nebraska), and strawberries are everywhere (in bowls, in plates, in my hand…). I will now introduce you to my most recent recipe experiment involving strawberries: Easy Low Sugar Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake.

This cake is moist. It’s flavorful. It’s low in sugar. It’s whole grain. It offers the wonderful taste of early summer joy. And friends, it is topped with Cream Cheese Frosting. I declare that to be the MVP of this cake – along with the strawberries, of course!

Cutting Back on SugarYum

If you’ve been around here long, you know that I’ve taken the liberty of cutting down the sugar in many recipes, making sure they still taste amazing. I believe a lower sugar ratio is something we can get our taste buds used to! I recommend cutting back on sugar gradually, starting with homemade desserts and muffins.

Hoping to cut back on sugar? Read some simple ideas here to help make that happen!

And now, I reward your cutting-back-on-sugar efforts by giving you this recipe:

  • 2½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ½ cup sucanat or sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs

  3. Add pureed strawberries, milk, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Mix with beaters until smooth.
  5. Pour into a buttered 9x13 cake pan.
  6. Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  7. Allow cake to cool.
  8. Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe options below)

Want to keep the frosting low in sugar too?

Here are my favorite Low Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting recipes!

Stevia-Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons softened butter
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid stevia to taste (I use about 20 drops)

In a large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and stevia – whipping until well combined and smooth. Spread over cooled cake. Store in refrigerator.

If you prefer, here’s a slightly sweeter but still not too sugary frosting option:

Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

8 ounces softened cream cheese
¼ cup softened butter
3-4 Tablespoons real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

With a hand mixer (or in your blender), whip together all ingredients until smooth. Spread over cooled cake.

INCREDIBLE Whole Grain Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

by 3 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Stop what you are doing right now and make these Whole Grain Raspberry Cheesecake Bars!! Well, maybe finish reading this post so you can get the recipe. Otherwise though, the making of these bars should become a very high priority. My family is in love with them!

As it happens, one day I decided to experiment with combining my Raspberry Oatmeal Bar recipe with my Crustless Cheesecake recipe. The result is this incredible, layered dish of delightfulness.

The cheesecake filling bakes right into the bars, creating a fantastic moist texture with raspberry cheesecake flavor. Truly, each bite of these bars is full of WOW.

As a bonus to the deliciousness of these Raspberry Cheesecake Bars, we get to enjoy the nourishment of whole grains, healthy fats, and low sugar content. I personally find nothing wrong with serving these bars for breakfast. But they are also wonderful as a dessert!

Our Favorite Lightly Sweetened Cookie Recipes

by Leave a Comment

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Since I just shared a list of fun ways to enjoy coffee, I thought it was fitting to share a list of lightly sweetened cookie recipes to go with your coffee. Or your tea. Or water. Or milk. Choose your cookie – choose your beverage!

I love a barely sweet treat with my coffee. The recipes listed below are made with whole grains, wholesome fats, and have low sugar content. I have simply adapted our favorite cookie recipes through the years to make them lower in sugar while still keeping them delicious!

Lightly Sweetened Cookie RecipesYum

  1. Sweet and Simple Butter Cookies – Only 4 ingredients!
  2. Low Sugar Cream Cheese Cut-Out Cookies – My favorite to make for holidays!
  3. Buttery Almond Cookies
  4. Simple Oatmeal Cookies
  5. Honey Sweetened No-Bake Cookies – Just like when you were a kid, only less sugar!
  6. Easy {Low} Sugar Cookies
  7. Low Sugar Lemon Melt-Away Cookies – You must try all these Melt-Away varieties!
  8. Low Sugar Almond Melt-Away Cookies
  9. Low Sugar Orange Melt-Away Cookies
  10. Low Sugar Lime Melt-Away Cookies
  11. Low Sugar Chocolate Fudge Cookies
  12. Low Sugar Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies – Only 3 ingredients!
  13. Low Sugar Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
  14. Pumpkin Spice Cut-Out Cookies – These are a must in the fall!
  15. Low Sugar Chocolate Brownies
  16. Low Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars – The sugar in these is cut down from 1 1/2 cups to just 1/2 cup!
  17. Sweet and Simple Cranberry Cookies
  18. Low Sugar Chocolate Cookie Cut-Outs

As a bonus, it is worth sharing my favorite flourless brownie recipes!

These are also low in sugar, and are completely grain free. I can’t get over how delicious these are. The trick to keeping them moist is to remove them from the oven BEFORE they appear to be done. If you leave them in the oven too long, they’ll get dry. But remove them when they are still a bit gooey and you are golden!

  1. Super Moist Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies – Only 5 ingredients!
  2. Super Moist Flourless Brownies – These are the same as the Peanut Butter variety, but they’re made with Almond Butter instead.
  3. Flourless Brownie Muffins – Use the above two recipes, and bake the batter into muffin cups. If it’s possible, that makes the brownies even better!

What is your favorite low sugar treat to enjoy?

More than Coffee

Sipping coffee is much more than a delicious experience. For me, it’s a spiritual one too. My coffee time is my prayer, Bible reading, and journaling time. It’s my time to connect with Jesus in a more focused way. And each mug that I drink from holds special significance.

I invite you to make your coffee time a spiritual one too. The Prayer Mugs is a story of my parenting journey as I’ve been learning to fully trust God with my kids. I’d be honored if you joined me in this prayer journey for your own family.

Sweet and Simple Cranberry Cookies

by 8 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

You all know I’m not into anything fancy. The simpler the better when it comes to pretty much everything from food to clothes to schedules. So it probably doesn’t surprise you that I took my basic Sweet and Simple Butter Cookies recipe and added one tiny ingredient to make these Sweet and Simple Cranberry Cookies. Hmmm, I bet you can’t guess which ingredient I added. (Indeed, my ways are so mysterious.)

I’m not a big fan of raisins in my cookies. But adding dried cranberries to this simple butter cookie? Well, that takes them up a notch without adding any effort. Phew, no added effort? Well, that’s a relief. We cannot be expected to add effort to our cookie-baking endeavors. That takes all the fun out of eating a cookie.

Oh! But don’t you worry about me giving you permission to eat a cookie. These are low in sugar, with just a little extra added sugar when we toss in the dried cranberries. And check out how few ingredients these have? Just 5 simple items to grab to make these delights!

The BEST Treats Sweetened with Honey

by Leave a Comment

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Technically, any treat can be sweetened with honey. But here are 20 of our family’s favorite easy recipes that call for honey.

Looking to use honey in recipes instead of sugar? I typically use 1/2 the amount of honey compared to the called for amount of sugar. And depending on the recipe source, I often cut it down even more than that. You’re not a bit surprised, are you?

20 of the BEST Treats Sweetened with Honey

  1. Chocolate Frosting (Honey Sweetened – Low Sugar!)
  2. Honey Peanut Bars (These are like a Payday candy bar, only better tasting and better for you.)
  3. Honey Pecan Pie
  4. Mudballs (Aww, one of the first recipes I shared here at HeavenlyHomemakers.com!)
  5. Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola
  6. Peanut Butter Honey Bars
  7. Peanut Butter Honey Fudge (3-ingredients, and so much fun!)
  8. Peanut Butter Raisin Balls
  9. Stir-and-Pour Honey Oat Bread (So easy to make, and it is HOMEMADE BREAD!!)
  10. Easy Peanut Butter Honey Granola
  11. Honey-Sweetened Flourless Peanut Butter Bars
  12. Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge
  13. Honey-Sweetened No-Bake Cookies (Go therefore and make these cookies!)
  14. Honey-Sweetened Peanut Butter Cups (These are a lifesaver when I need a fast protein/fat fix.)
  15. Honey Cinnamon Muffins
  16. Easy Pecan Pie Bites (Perfect for every holiday, and possibly every other Thursday.)
  17. Honey Zucchini Bread
  18. Honey Whole Wheat Bagels (I haven’t had time to make these for a while, and I miss them. So good!)
  19. Honey Whole Wheat Bread
  20. Peanut Butter Honey Rice Krispie Treats

Have crystalized honey? Here’s how to remedy that.

Need a good source for honey? I love getting it from local sources. But when supply is short, I often order it from Azure Standard for a good price!

Where do you find good honey for your family?

Delicious Low Sugar Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze

by 3 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Because I am your friend, I am sharing this Delicious Low Sugar Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze just in time for Valentine’s Day. See, you can make this cake any time, any day. But Valentine’s Day is sort of an excuse to eat chocolate. So this cake recipe comes to you just in time!

Does the recipe look familiar? It should. I originally created and shared this recipe a few years ago, baking it in a regular cake pan. It remains my all-time favorite cake recipe, and I usually spread Low Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting over the top.

But sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a little by, you know, pouring your cake batter into a pan of a different shape. Do I know how to party or what?
