The photo might not look like the best pie, but believe me this is one recipe you have to try! I came up with this recipe because my husband loves chocolate and was getting bored with eating chocolate cake time and time again. One day I decided to make a chocolate pie instead of a chocolate cake and well the rest is history! I hope you guys enjoy my chocolate fudge pie recipe!

For this recipe I decided to make them with white chocolate because I have never tried that before. They turned out perfect too! The hint of white chocolate in the pancake and making them the size of a silver dollar is a perfect “to go” breakfast in the morning, because no butter or syrup is needed for these pancakes!

For us it is not easy to just jump in the truck and go to the store right down the road, because there isn’t one! So, the last time we ran out of chocolate syrup, I decided to look around in my pantry to see if I could make a homemade chocolate syrup. I’m so thankful that we did run out because now since I know how to make my own, I want to do it from here on out! It is super easy to make and quite yummy!

]]> White Russian Cocktail http://thelatefarmer.com/white-russian-cocktail/ Mon, 02 Jun 2014 03:26:23 +0000 http://thelatefarmer.com/?p=3308 Ever since my sister introduced me to the mudslide drink, that has always been my favorite drink. However, I have had a white russian and even though it is very similar to the mudslide it still has a different “kick” to it. Personally, I think the mudslide is a much sweeter drink than the white russian, so if you aren’t in the mood to have something really sweet like a mudslide, I say go with the white russian!

But the question often comes up about the differences between a white russian and a mudslide and I will let you know what it is. A white russian has vodka in it and a mudslide does not. However, the mudslide uses an Irish cream (like Bailey’s) and a white russian does not. That is it, everyone can put their own spin to it…so if anyone ever asks you can tell them the difference! Which one is your favorite? White Russian or Mudslide?

Also, here is the recipe for my Mudslide Milkshake if you want to check it out!

]]> Stay Hydrated with Contigo Shake and Go Tumblers http://thelatefarmer.com/stay-hydrated-contigo-shake-go-tumblers/ Sat, 17 May 2014 04:57:30 +0000 http://thelatefarmer.com/?p=3271 Living here in South Texas it is very important to stay hydrated because it gets extremely hot here! Even though I know I need to drink lots of water, I have a hard time doing it. However, two months ago I met with the great people at Contigo and they introduced me to their Shake & Go Tumblers. Now I have joined the #WaterRevolution and no longer have a hard time staying hydrated. To say these tumblers are great would be an understatement because they are simply amazing!

Disclaimer: I received 4 Contigo Shake & Go Tumblers to review, in exchange for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own and I truly do love the tumblers!

Contigo Shake & Go Tumblers - TheLateFarmer.com

One thing that I completely love about the Shake and Go Tumblers are that no matter what you do or how hard you try, they just do not leak or spill any of your favorite drink out! This is a very good thing for me, because I’m constantly on the go. My typical day involves homeschooling my children, taking care of the farm, gardening and driving to run errands. On numerous occasions with “other” tumblers I have accidentally spilt them all over myself or inside my truck, but no more! Thanks to the locking lid, Contigo’s Shake & Go tumblers are completely leak proof! And I greatly appreciate this wonderful feature for my active lifestyle! 

Because of Contigo’s remarkable design in preventing me from having my drink spill everywhere, I actually drink more water now! My water intake is so much higher, because I will fill my Shake & Go tumbler with ice and water and toss the tumbler (without the straw) into my purse and walk out the door. Then when I am ready to drink my water, I simply insert the straw and drink! I don’t even have to check inside my purse to see if anything is wet, because I have tested the Shake & Go tumbler to see if it will leak and nope not once has it let me down! Ah, I’m loving the leak proof design so much!

Contigo Shake & Go Tumblers TheLateFarmer.com

But wait there is more, now that I have a terrific tumbler and get to drink more water, I now can think of other options such as taking my favorite pomegranate energizing tea with me. Before I thought I would only be able to drink my tea at home, but not anymore. Contigo’s Shake and Go tumblers make taking your favorite drink with you so easy. All you have to do is fill your tumbler with water, pour in your favorite drink mix, place the lid on it, shake it up, put your straw in and enjoy! No wonder Contigo has the great tagline, “Make It, Shake It, Take It” because truly it is that easy!

Make It, Shake It, Take It - TheLateFarmer.com

So, if you are wanting to stay hydrated with your favorite drink or just drink more water, I think the Contigo’s Shake & Go tumbler is the way to go with helping you accomplish that. Contigo was very generous by letting me review 2-20 ounce Shake & Go Tumblers and 2-16 ounce Shake & Go tumblers, but also they have provided me with a 20% discount code for my readers if you would like to purchase your own AND they are letting me giveaway a 4 pack of their 16 ounce Shake & Go tumblers to one lucky reader!
