No-Bake Coffee Cheesecake Bars

Have you ever made something and the entire time it's being made your just hoping that it  actually turns out edible? Like your just wondering while making it why the hell your still putting effort into it because your sure its gonna taste like the bottom of a shoe once your done. That was me …

Mocha Peppermint Fudge

If there is one thing to know about me it's that if coffee is ever involved I am most likely involved as well. I swear coffee is it's own food group in my world. Besides from the obvious energy purposes, coffee really is an overlooked super food. It is rich in antioxidants, helps keep you …

Cranberry Orange Yogurt Bread

As we are coming off our pumpkin spice kick and heading into the holiday season, winter treats are among us. But lets be real... the holidays also mean sugar comas. While I will never be one to turn down a homemade sugar cookie (#balance), it's always nice to have treats on hand that are on …

Gooey Chocolate Black Bean Cookies

MOIST.  As much as I hate that word, it describes these cookies to a T. The other day I listened to a podcast all about Fiber (Podcast: The Skinny Confidential - The F-Factor Diet) and since then I have been trying to eat more foods that carry a higher content. But when people think of …

Fall Skin Care Routine

This past year I have been completely obsessed with skin care. From oils to collagen (my husband wants to choke me when I say that word because it comes up at least once if not twice daily, he just rolls his eyes) I have been experimenting with it all.    So ever since I have tried a …

Quinoa Tacos

I swear that my mom had to have eaten a lot of tacos and enchiladas when she was pregnant with me because I am seriously obsessed with Mexican food. #mexicanfoodislife I am pretty sure I eat Mexican food at least once a week. I know I should probably try new cuisines more often, and don’t …

Pumpkin Latte Almond Butter Cups

They said I could be anything so I decided to be caffeinated – quote that describes my life.   But can I be real and say although this is the probably your hundredth “healthy pb cup” post, this one is full of some of the best ingredients (caffeine being one). And I would be lying if …

Spicy Black Bean Dip

When I make a meal I like to add a lot of "accessories" to it. Lime, cilantro, cheese... basically I like to make my meals as high maintenance as possible. But who likes a boring meal amiright? At work this week I was squeezing a lime into my meal and some guy in the office …

Healthy Banana Pumpkin Bread

Put your hand in the air if you dig Fall time (*raises both hands)? Fall = the chunky sweaters & scarfs, the changing leaves but to be real with you I honestly get hyped up on all things pumpkin. Between September to November I try and eat, smell, try and make all things pumpkin. I …

Honey Pistachio Pizza

The other day I was talking to my husband, and I asked, “Do you remember how good that pistachio pizza we ate that one time on that one day was (I couldn’t remember when and where obviously)?”   He replied with, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I would never order that …
