No Wait, No Lines = The Naked CRONUT Recipe


Croissoughnut = Cronuts

Everyone has been obsessed with them and they are still hard to get, even after almost a full year since it's creation. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I can go on Dominique Ansel's website and pre-order them or drag my butt over to Spring street and wait on the never-ending line outside her bakery at the crack of dawn but, I would rather not. To get around all the fuss of waiting, Allan and I picked a rainy Sunday and decided to make our own Cronuts within the confinements of our home sweet home. I scoured the web and found a decent recipe I wanted to use. My boo thang got so excited, he stripped down to his undies for this recipe. I mean let's be real homies, Cronuts are great and all, but nothing tastes as good as naked feels. So don't go nuts for a Cronut. Come over to mi casa, strip down, and Allan will make you a Cronut. How does that sound?

Hope you enjoy our Lesbananas Naked Cronut Recipe ❤

Allan and Leo's Homemade Sweet Potato Treats!

When our baby Leo is happy, Allan and I are happy. Prince Leo has been with us for about 5 months (just about 7 months old ) now and since we brought our precious angel home, there have been a lot more focus on preserving Leo's health and feeding him only natural/organic products with no preservatives.



Sometimes the snacks we buy him from various shops can be expensive and risky for people like me, who trust only a selected number of brands to make my puppy's treats. Dog Nation Sweet potato baked chews that you can buy at Petco can cost you around $8.99 plus tax for a small pouch of maybe 5 thin sliced of sweet potato. With Allan's little recipe here, we can get you more than a dozen all natural, crispy, chewy and economically efficient cookies for your best friend. You can do it all under $8.99.

Channeling My Inner Julia Child - DIY

Halloween and football season is approaching, and here are two DIY dessert ideas for my friends and family. This all started after my visit to Royce Chocolate (remember this post) and saw the $17 price tag on the chocolate covered potato chips that I love. Honestly, $17 is pretty expensive for snacks so I went and made them myself for $7 (just the chocolate covered chips), and even shared them with my bf's family!

Each bag of chocolate is around $3-$6 depending on where you buy them, the strawberries were $5.99 for 2 lbs where I bought them, and the a bag of Ruffle's Potato Chips cost around $3.49. Making Chocolate covered strawberries or chocolate covered potato chips at home is super easy, and will only take you 30 minutes!
