Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites

Thumbnail image for Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites February 18, 2013

Quick and easy kid-friendly snacks. That’s the name of the game around here. My 4-year old isn’t big on animal protein, so I’m always looking to find ways to fit it extra protein into her snacks.

I love anything lemon, so lemonade is included!  Most lemonade is jam packed with sugar, so here’s a great alternative that tastes the same as regular lemonade, only without any of the sugar! Since its summer, why not make it a frozen lemonade instead and have it even more refreshing…great idea I thought!  This recipe [...]

Thumbprint cookies. I’m a sucker for them.  I especially LOVE the ones that come out of the Whole Foods bakery.  I’d take one of those over a piece of chocolate any day. (Gasp, did I really say that?!)  I’m surprised I didn’t come up with this recipe sooner, considering it only took about 10 minutes [...]

Don’t you hate when you get to the end of your Almond Butter (or Peanut Butter) jar and all that’s left is that hard paste that’s impossible to spread?  Even melting it down doesn’t make it soft and spreadable.  What do you do?  That’s easy!  Make Overnight Oats!  In this batch, I had about 2 [...]

Hey all! I’ve been pondering for a while about coming up with a new theme for Friday’s posts.  While the “Flashback Friday” idea is still fun, I’m come to the conclusion that I’ll never be a documentary type blogger.  I don’t have time to take pictures of all the meals I’ve had everyday, nor do [...]
