Happy (almost) New Year! Have you all created your resolution list yet? I’m really trying to focus in on living an all around healthier lifestyle. I would like to hone in on working out more, eating better, and putting my wallet on a diet! We’ll see how long that last one will hold up… ;) 2014 was an amazing year filled of ups and downs.

There’s been a few rough spots, but overall, 2014 was a great year and I have a feeling that 2015 will be just as great- if not better. To help ring in 2015, I wanted to compile a list of the 15 Most Popular Recipes of 2014. To check out…

Peanut Butter Blossoms; Christmas Cookie Season!

Hooray for Holiday Cookie season! Can you believe there is only 9 more days until Christmas? Where did the time go! I’m in a scramble to finish up all my shopping, baking, wrapping, and posting all my #DIYChristmas recipes/gifts to share with all of you. First up– probably my favorite Christmas cookies of all time, the Peanut Butter Blossom. I love these little bites of heaven.

Low-Fat Yogurt Holiday Bark

As many of you know, dessert is my favorite food group. If I could, I would make chocolate 90% of my daily diet. I am constantly trying out ways to help curb my sweets cravings in different, healthy ways. Now that the weather is turning into boots and scarf season, my holiday spirit has cranked way up. I have caught the baking bug, and my kitchen is already beginning to overflow with holiday treats! It probably comes at no surprise that holiday bark is one of my favorite snacks this time of year. What’s not to love about candy layered over chocolate? I’ll be making some closer to December time, but in the meantime, I created a healthy substitute! Let me introduce you to my latest obsession: Low-Fat Yogurt Bark! Similar to the typical…

Curbing Sweets Cravings- Banana Bowls

The other night was one that I just couldn’t seem to fix my sweet tooth. I needed something sweet, but filling so that I wouldn’t convince myself to grab “jut one” cookie later. ;) This simple, 3 ingredient bowl was the perfect solution. All you need: -1 cut up banana -1 tablespoon unsalted raw almond butter -½ tablespoon any kind of jam/jelly/honey that you want. I would recommend using my Healthy 3 Ingredient Strawberry Jam because it’s so simple & good for you, but I cheated a little and used orange marmalade. It’s my favoritttte. Below are some other of my favorite ‘sweets cheats’ recipes. Just click on the name of the recipe and it will take you directly to the post. :) Baked Chocolate Peanut Butter Cinnamon Bananas Game Day Tri-Apple “Nachos” Strawberry Honey Greek…

Banana Oatmeal Muffins!

This is going to be a short, but oh so very sweet, post! This recipe is one I’ve had in my “vault” (aka a folder on my laptop) for awhile but it is so good, I cannot believe I’ve been keeping it to myself! Typically, when people say “muffins” I picture those amazing blueberry strudel muffins from Starbucks, or the amazing pumpkin spice chocolate chip ones my mom makes. Both of which, let’s be honest here, are basically cupcakes without the frosting. These are actually healthy! I pack up a few of these, keep them at work, and either eat them for breakfast or snack on them throughout the day when I need a quick pick-me-up. The fun part is you can top them with whatever you’d like! I switch mine up each time,…

Vanilla, Fresh Pineapple, Honey Yogurt Bowls

Last night one of Dj and my friends asked me if I wanted to join him for dinner at Crazy Sushi (my favorite sushi restaurant in Jacksonville). I couldn’t even think of declining! They have this amazing deal where if your final total comes up to $30 or more, if you check in with the app FourSquare, you’ll automatically get $6 off your bill! Dj and I typically will get an extra sushi roll or appetizer just to then have left overs to take advantage of this deal. Since learning about that, it’s been brought to my attention that many restaurants provide these types of deals once you check-in on the app. Something to definitely keep in mind! So, for day three of my #dinnerforone segment, I feel as though I should relabel this…

Baked Chocolate Peanut Butter Cinnamon Bananas!

Let us take a moment to thank whoever invented the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Plus banana. Plus honey. Plus Cinnamon. Okay, you get where I’m going with this. My sweets cravings have been having their own sweets cravings lately. It’s madness. The trick is to trick your body into thinking the cravings are winning, while still choosing foods that are good for you and wont kill your clean eating efforts! That is exactly what this little sliver of heaven does for me. You Need: *1 Banana *Raw Honey *Cinnamon *Natural Peanut Butter *Dark Chocolate Chips *Pecans (optional)* Preheat your oven to 210 degrees!! Slice your banana in half. Sprinkle with the banana with cinnamon. Spread about a tablespoon of Natural Peanut Butter inside of the banana. I like Skippy’s, but any would work!…
