Blueberry Nut Baked Oatmeal
Hi Everyone! I know that spring is on it’s way (and I cant wait!), but the snow is still here… On a cold morning I like to have a warm and comforting breakfast, like oatmeal! Today I am going to share with you my recipe for blueberry nut baked oatmeal. This really is a treat for me to have for breakfast, as I normally stick with cereal and yogurt for breakfast, or a protein smoothie. One recipe makes six servings, so for me this lasts about a week. I also would imagine that this would freeze well if you wanted to store these for an easy breakfast later on. This…

Sarah’s Tiramisu
My sister is moving to South Carolina for a couple of months and I am going to miss her so much! :-( For a going away present I decided to make her Tiramisu, which is her favorite dessert. This is a luscious Italian dessert, made from eggs, marscapone cheese, and lady fingers. This dessert is sooo decadent and rich and delicious; I just know that you all will love it! It also really isn’t even that hard to make, and doesn’t require any baking… The only downside is…. its really not healthy. But, we all have to splurge occasionally right?!?! RIGHT!?!?! But anyways… here is the recipe! Tiramisu Ingredients: 1/2…

Spicy Orange Beef
So as many of you probably know, I started Weight Watchers last summer and have lost about 31lbs! I still have a little ways to go; but the program really works! The recipe that I am going to blog about tonight is adapted from their new cookbook Turn Up the Flavor. I have to say that so far I have enjoyed the cookbook, and the recipes I have tried all have been good. One recipe that turned out really well is Spicy Orange Beef (Spicy Tangerine Beef in the cookbook), and it is only 4WWPP!! I made some slight modifications and paired it with some jasmine rice for a fabulous…

Guacamole
I don’t know about you all, but I love avocados! One of my favorite snacks or appetizers is guacamole, and it is really easy to make! Many of the pre-made versions you can buy in the store actually do not contain very much avocado, and may contain additives and preservatives that I do NOT want in my food. For this reason I like to make my own guacamole and enjoy the fresh taste and health benefits of real avocados. I know that it is slightly more work, but I am sure once you try it you will not want to go back! I hope you all enjoy this recipe! Ingredients:…

Healthy Cookie Dough Dip
Okay, I know what your thinking… cookie dough dip? How could this be healthy!?! Well… this cookie dough dip is healthy and it totally doesn’t taste healthy either! I made this for my bible study and it was a big hit! No one guessed that it was healthy or had any idea that my secret ingredient was beans until I told them! Yup beans! This dip is full of protein, and only uses healthy sweeteners (agave nectar and stevia). I hope you all enjoy this recipe and will give it a try!!! I got my inspiration from a post by Chocolate Covered Katie, and you all should definitely check out…
