I don't ever make peanut butter cookies. I know this sounds strange, because I love peanut butter, but I haven't found a peanut butter cookie that I actually like (maybe that's a challenge).

White Chocolate Peanut Crunch Clusters

Healthier, may I say, doesn't always mean healthy, but it is better than the original recipe. I was caught by … [Read more...]

I know that the holidays are riddled with sweets, but making even a few substitutions can make all the difference! The first recipe I wanted to tackle, was Brown Eyed Baker's Chubby Hubby Truffles. It's hard to healthify a recipe that has very few ingredients, so the main … [Read more...]

Larabar: Product Review
So, I've been making Larabars lately, so I got really excited when I had the opportunity to try the genuine Larabar and say what I think. First of all, I had to choose carefully when I was deciding which flavors to review, because a majority of the Larabar flavors are over 200 calories, which goes against what I preach about energy bars. But, after sifting through the various flavors (trying to … [Read more...]
