{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.

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!

Campfire S’mores From Home

by Leave a Comment

This week I learned that I should have been making homemade S’mores a lot sooner in life! Woah! There’s something about the flavors in the graham cracker that take it to a whole other level. And the marshmallows…oh my gosh, just these pillows of creamy, chewy goodness. Oh and did I mention they are corn syrup free? Even better.

Homemade S'mores

Roasting marshmallows is such a favorite past time. It reminds me of being in high school and having bonfires and being married and having bonfires. It’s something you can do at any age and still enjoy it! Now that we live in Tennessee I don’t have the beach to drive down to and have a bonfire so here is a way to enjoy them in your own home!

Corn Syrup Free MarshmallowsLets start with the marshmallows. Look at these things! I cut a few different sizes just to try all different ways of using these bad boys.
