{SKINNY} Protein Packed Granola

by Leave a Comment

Well since it’s National Cereal Day, I thought I would share a healthy alternative with you. It’s protein packed granola and it’s delicious! You can eat this with your choice of milk, yogurt or just plain!

I have recently started using this PB2 peanut butter powder and I am really enjoying it! You can now find it at most local grocery stores near the regular peanut butter. All you have to do is mix it with water to make it creamy or you can add the powder to your smoothies, shakes, and even when cooking if you want a nutty flavor without all the added fat and calories peanuts can give you.

Easy & Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Since the New Year I have, like most of the world, been wanting to change my diet. Its really hard when you have little picky eaters, teenagers and hungry husbands. I have also been wanting to get serious about my blog and really start posting what YOU want to see & hear. So I came up with a survey to better understand my followers and so far the majority of you want healthier options. (If you haven’t taken the survey yet, please do so here) So it’s as if you are all forcing me to eat healthier! Haha, hey we can all use a little motivation here and there!

So last week I had bought some bananas thinking they would get eaten….well we were so busy that literally NONE of them were eaten! I didn’t want to waste them so I thought why not bake with them. Now when I think of healthy baking I think EWE! So let me just tell you, if I post something healthy, it will definitely taste good because I am super picky.

Today I have for you some super easy and healthy Peanut Butter Banana Muffins. Even better, with Chocolate Chips! Now I know chocolate isn’t necessarily healthy, I used semi-sweet, you can use dark or opt out completely if you’d like and they would still be delish!

Blueberry Donuts: Only 4 Ingredients

by 2 Comments

I am a donut-a-holic, if thats even a thing. Ever since I was a kid I have loved getting donuts on Saturday mornings with my family. Now its a tradition for my kids. Since living out here in Tennessee I have a new love for blueberry donuts. I have tried one from every donut shop in town that makes them!

So far my favorite is Donut Time on Hartman, if you are in the area, try their blueberry donut! Its seriously so good.

I was determined to create one comparable, but simple. I kept seeing all these ways of making easy donuts out of store bought biscuits and crescents and I just had to try this out. So to my surprise I found Blueberry Biscuit Dough!

To be honest, I didn’t even know they made Blueberry! You guys, this donut recipe is so easy! All you need are 4 ingredients!

Open up your biscuits and lay them out on a piece of foil or parchment paper.

While you are doing this you may want to start heating up your oil in a sauce pan on the stove over medium heat. Next, using a round cutter or in my case a shot glass because I didn’t have a cutter and cut out the middle of your biscuits.

Now you have both donuts and donut holes! Woohoo! Can you tell donuts get me excited? Yikes….
