And my venture into the world of energy bars continues. I love when bars have not only a nutritious purpose, but also target their customers in a personal manner, and thus, I love LUNA bars. LUNA bars are the women's counterpart of Clif Bar, and they boast having the nutritional values that women need. They are packed with vitamins, including calcium, folic acid, vitamin D, and iron, which are … [Read more...]
Sugar-Free Baked Cake Doughnuts
In all of the post-Valentine’s sales, I snatched up this adorable heart-shaped doughnut pan. I’ve never been a huge fan of doughnuts because, although they’re sweet and soft, they usually leave me feeling sick and full of guilt. Thus, I decided to use my new pan as a mold for cake “doughnuts,” and test out a little trick I learned (from Shelly at Cookies & Cups) when using a cake mix. Yes, I said … [Read more...]
I’m On A “Quest”
As I said yesterday, I've been trying a lot of protein bars lately because I am training for a half-marathon, which is quickly approaching. One of the most important things that you have to keep in mind when training for anything that can break your body down, is nutrition to build your body up. Easy, right? Well, maybe not easy. I find myself in states of exhaustion from doing it incorrectly far … [Read more...]
Getting Marathon Ready
As many of you know, I am getting primed and ready to run a half marathon, which happens in two weekends! I can hardly believe that it's almost here! One of the great benefits of the product testing I do, is that I feel like I get to find which energy bars work best for me during training (trust me, I eat a ton of them). Depending on the time of day and whether I am pre- or post-workout, I choose … [Read more...]
The Brownie-Cookie Hybrid
Have you noticed the latest food trend? I feel like everywhere I look, I see brownie-cookie fusions. This is brilliant, of course. The problem, though, is now you're combining two equally indulgent treats into a doozie of a calorie mess. Thus, I have been experimenting and working away, trying to find a healthier alternative that gives you the same exciting layered result. And, to top it off, we … [Read more...]
Oat Cookie Pizza
Have you ever wanted to make a fast, fun, and healthy treat for a small group? I have the solution! Cookie pizzas have been popular for a long time, but they taste overly sweet and are full of butter and oil (they give your fingers that glossy sheen as you eat your piece). Here's my oatmeal chocolate chip version, that you can decorate or leave naked (how scandalous!). If you like a thicker cookie … [Read more...]
White Chocolate Whole Wheat Muddy Buddies
Happy Valentine's Day!!Since we all need some no-bake simplicity every now and then, these are a wonderful Twisted alternative to the traditional Muddy Buddies ("Puppy Chow")! I decided to use the whole wheat Chex, white chocolate (because I've been on such a white chocolate kick lately), a dash of cinnamon, and NO butter! This treat definitely has all the punch of the original version, but is … [Read more...]
Clif Bar CRUNCH Giveaway!
I'm so excited to get to share more wonderful products with all of you!Lately, I've been on a Clif Bar kick. I've been hooked on the Clif MOJO bars, which are sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy, and just so yummy. My favorite is the Peanut Butter Pretzel, which mixes the creamy sweetness of peanut butter with the crunchy salty bite of pretzels. They aren't just your ordinary energy bar though, because … [Read more...]

This Baked Chocolate Raspberry Oatmeal is rich and chocolaty but not full of calories, so you can feel like you're having a Valentine's Day treat, but not feel guilty about it. And, because it is similar to cake, you can make one for … [Read more...]
Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Chewy Cookies
To say that these cookies went over well with my family would be a HUGE understatement! I felt incredibly guilty when it was brought to my attention (by my boyfriend) that I hadn't made cookies in awhile, and that my cookies are always really good, and...well, I got the hint. Plus, I knew my parents were coming to visit and I needed a plate of something yummy at hand, so the need to make cookies … [Read more...]
