One of the hard things about starting to clean up my diet was giving up sweets. True, certain desserts can be cleaned up so they are healthier but most of the time it’s just not the same. I finally found a healthy dessert that is even better than the original. Yes, I said it, these…
I run every Saturday with a great group of women. We run anywhere from an hour to 3 hours or so and talk about lots of different things while we run. Actually, to be completely honest, we mostly talk about food. I’d like to say that we only talk about healthy food but sometimes the…
I’ve had so much fun experimenting with different no bake recipes. It’s just so cool that you can take a couple of ingredients, mix them up, roll them in a ball and you’ve got a healthy little snack. I’m finding the possibilities virtually endless! With a base recipe of nuts and dates, you can go…
I’ve always had a sweet tooth and love dessert. Just about any dessert will do. Anyone that eats only real food will tell you that there are plenty of delicious options to satisfy sweet cravings. But the first couple of recipes I tried were not great….truthfully, they were completely disgusting and I threw out the…
It just occurred to me that the title of this post has more words in it than ingredients. That’s pretty cool if you like simple no-bake recipes like I do. And if you like Almond Joy candy bars, you’re going to love this recipe! They’ve got all the coconut-y goodness of the candy bar but…
The holidays are such a magical time of the year for so many. As I shop for my family and loved ones in the month leading up to Christmas, I’m often reminded that many people aren’t as fortunate as we are. While I don’t have lots of extra money to buy fancy, expensive gifts, I…
I know the season of all things pumpkin has passed already, according to the calendar, at least. But if you’re like me and have an extra can or two in your pantry and notice it sitting there all by itself, pumpkin goodness might call out to you. Since muffins are one of those foods that…
Love is in the air! With Valentine’s day coming soon, I was ready to make something deliciously chocolatey. I mean – nothing says true love like chocolate, right? And there’s plenty to love about these little bites! Obviously, the chocolate is something to love. But they say love is about what’s on the inside, not…
Can you believe I said this was a healthy ice cream? I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s not! If I had to pick one food that I never wanted to live without, it would definitely be ice cream. There’s nothing better than a bowl of rich, creamy, frozen sweetness. I’m…
One of the flavors I love most about this time of year is peppermint. To me, the scent of peppermint and the sight of candy canes triggers all the thoughts and happy emotions of the season. I knew I wanted to make a recipe making peppermint the star but the options were limitless and I…

Where did 2015 go? Looking back over my year, I realized that it’s been a crazy busy year and that’s why it all seems like a blur. This…
I’ve seen a bunch of mug recipes online (I won’t lie – I’ve spent way too much time today on Pinterest) so I had to make my own. I really like this idea because we don’t eat a lot of sweets around here and I don’t really want to make a big batch of anything…
