Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad
Hello Everyone! So this time of year there are all kinds of yummy beautiful foods to harvest. My Mom’s garden has been very bountiful, and one I have been particularly enjoying beets this year!

If you have never tried cooking with fresh beets, you really have to; they are absolutely delicious, zero points, and so healthy too!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Yogurt
Firstly, I know it has been much too long since my last post!! I have just been having a hard time fitting in blogging this week, but I do have a recipe to share with you all now! This is a throwback to one of my childhood favorites, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich! I don’t know about you all, but I really liked this when I was a kid, and even now! Unfortunately, now I have learned just how unhealthy this meal really is. Bread is full of carbohydrates, which basically turn into sugars when you digest them, not to mention both peanut butter and jelly are FULL of…
