Marshmallows Make Me Merry



I love finding new things for my post workout meal. Sometimes its so good that I wish I trained everyday!! Yesterday was one of those days.

I found these a while ago and saw that they fit into my guidelines (a little on the high end as far as fat goes) so I figured I would give them a try. Loved them!!

I decided to eat 100 calories worth- which was 18 of these little pieces of heaven in addition to a Chocolate protein shake (BuyBulkWhey) with 1/2 of a package of 100 calorie Oreo Crisps. Bring on the chocolate!!

Beans In My Cookies!!

Today is no different. My husband requested my low carb pumpkin pancakes but with more carbs. LOL At first I told him that I did not comprehend. But he then explained that he likes his pancakes to have a little more ‘substance’. So in other words…BRING ON THE OATS. Did I mention that he still wanted to have a bowl of oatmeal with his pancakes? Boy he is getting demanding!! :lol:

Being the mad scientist that I am, :lol: I... read more 0 comments

Stevia and Strawberries



So, I've been blogging for a while now, and the majority of my recipes started with me using splenda. I'll admit I was reluctant to give up my splenda because with the exception of one alternate (that I could only get online). I was not very impressed with some of the stevia products I had tasted. I swear it tasted like chemicals!! Okay, so maybe I don't really know what chemicals taste like, but I'm guessing this is what is tasted like. LOL

I had read a review of Stevia in the Raw, and figured I would try it. I am so happy I did!! One packet is more than enough to sweeten my recipes, and there... read more 3 comments
