Maple Cinnamon Oatcakes

March 4, 2013 by Melissa

Well the weekend is over. Again. Funny how that happens. I had a pretty eventful Friday followed by an uneventful weekend. Balance, right? On Friday, I went to the doctor. A nurse who took blood samples told me I was so lucky to have Friday off. She asked if I was excited about not working on Fridays…while drawing my blood…at the doctors office. See where I’m going with this? Yes, … [Read more...]

Raspberry Almond Coffee Cake

February 28, 2013 by Melissa

Doesn't this just look warm and cozy for a bitter, snowed in afternoon? A hint of spring to come from the raspberries, pure comfort from almond butter, and reminiscent of childhood pb&j sandwiches...but better! I'm really excited to share my Raspberry Almond Coffee Cake recipe with all of you. I'm really really excited that it's currently published over on Quirk Books's website! … [Read more...]

Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

February 26, 2013 by Melissa

I honestly just can't get enough of my flourless chocolate cookies. I've made them in several varieties (remember these...and these...oh and these?) and they just keep getting better! When I want a chocolate cookie, I want a bold chocolate cookie. I hate when a cookie is a deep, rich brown color but bland and crumbly! How decieving! These? More like a brownie cookie. Really … [Read more...]

Blackberry “Caveman” Muffins

February 25, 2013 by Melissa

I’m watching the Oscars at the moment. Like, right now. So, I’m sure I’ll have something to say about it when it’s all over, but right now, I’m in a trans. I get so caught up in the beautiful gowns, the sweeping hair (that I bet is as stiff as a board or tacky-feeling, but it looks silky and beautiful), the blingy diamonds… And then the show starts, and I quickly realize that I forgot to … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 19 and Clif Crunch GIVEAWAY

February 22, 2013 by Melissa

I've had some wonderful, positive progress that I am very proud of. The DietBet I was participating in is now over, and all of the pressure is off, thank goodness! I'm so proud of how hard I worked and that it all payed off - I lost 4% of my bodyweight, the DietBet goal, in a 100% healthy manner. I celebrated with a mini ramekin of Peanut Butter Toast Crunch cereal. A weird victory treat, I … [Read more...]

Nutty Coconut Banana Bread Muffins

February 21, 2013 by Melissa

These muffins are for someone special. They're slightly sweet, slightly nutty, and completely comforting. I feel bad that their intended recipient won't ever get to enjoy them, because the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse, so it's now impossible to deliver them. But, it's the thought that counts, right? If you love homey banana bread, these are for you! I've always loved … [Read more...]

Ultimate Chocolate Chunk Cookies

February 19, 2013 by Melissa

I'll admit, these cookies are pretty outrageous. They're basically giant chunks of chocolate with a little dough to bind them together. No butter. Oat flour. Greek yogurt. Yup, they've got healthy ingredients too! So yeah, these cookies are pretty crazy! When they're baked up, you have to let them cool a bit on the pan just to be able to move them because the amount of melty chocolate is … [Read more...]

Cake Batter Candy Cups

February 18, 2013 by Melissa

I had an amazing weekend. I went and visited my parents for another round of wedding planning. We were on a roll! My mom and I found my wedding shoes AND the invitations that I want to order. I am totally on Cloud 9! My shoes are gorgeous and I even wore them while helping my mom fix dinner Saturday night (I didn't want to take them off!). I finished the weekend on Sunday morning at the … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 18

February 15, 2013 by Melissa

This week flew by! And its been an exhausting whirlwind. My massage last Friday made me realize that I need to take some time every now and then to just relax and distress. It was so painful to have this small, friendly girl dig her elbows into my shoulder blades, but it was so worth it. A whole hour, laying in a peaceful place, having someone work the pain out of my muscles (PS it really was … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2013 by Melissa

Have a lovely Valentine's Day! Cheers! (These are my nanny kiddos, I love them so much, and making cookies with them was the highlight of my week.)   *note - Having fun with little ones and cookie dough doesn't have to be stressful! I used store-bought cookie mix and it helped them learn how to follow directions and practice patience. Were they sugared up for the … [Read more...]
