Banana Bread Faux Fro-yo

This recipe is sort of an anomaly. There is no milk in this so technically it isn't frozen yogurt really. I am calling this healthy dessert Banana Bread frozen yogurt because it is made out of bananas! Of course I saw this on pinterest and it blew my mind. If you chop bananas and freeze them then blend in a blender or food processor the texture is just like frozen yogurt. Genius! If you don't like bananas, maybe this isn't for you. Hey, fair warning.

Warrior Food: Cranberry Walnut Granola

This weekend I participated in the Bold r Dash at a local ski mountain. I'm sure everyone has similar 5k races with obstacles in their home town. It was such a blast! Never in a million years would I have thought I could complete a 5K never mind a 5K with military obstacles that seemed impossible. By the end I was covered in mud, wet, with a huge smile on my face.

5 Ingredient Breakfast Cookies

Cookies for breakfast? Heck yeah! I saw these little morsels of goodness on Watching What I Eat.  I like the idea of having a breakfast that I can grab on my way to work and eat it whenever I want to. It is so hard for me to get up in the morning and cook myself a full breakfast so anything that can be cooked ahead of time I am game!

Baked Buffalo Zucchini Fries

I love french fries. I love french fries more than many things in this world ( no, not my husband.I love him more.)I prefer thick cut steak fries, curly fries and most of all tater tots. I hate shoe string fries. Ugh, gross. Unfortunately, my thighs hate french fries. They probably scream every time I bite into the hot, crispy spuds. My thighs will forever be grateful for this creation. Baked zucchini fries are a great alternative to french fries because like their potato counterparts they are crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside.

Granola Power Bites

Ever wish you could pop some goodness in your mouth and your body would be fueled for hours? Look no further! These power bites are full of fiber, protein and are a great snack pre or post work out. Heck, I might even have them for breakfast. I might even go as far as saying they are perfect when you are craving something sweet. I would totally eat them for dessert and not feel guilty about it at all!

WIAW & Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Pre baking..

It's that time again. Peas & Crayons was nice enough to host WIAW so I could talk about all of the healthy (and not so healthy) things I ate this week. I like to think that I eat healthy most of the time so I can indulge whenever the hell I feel like it! Here is a taste of some of the favorite things I ate this week!

Vodka Spiked Gummy Bears

You read it right people! Vodka infused gummy bears! Toby and I threw a "Spartacus Party" this weekend where our other Spartacus groupie friends came over and we watched the season finale. Any Spartacus fans out there? Seeing that almost no one in the world has Starz as a movie channel we may be the only fans of the show out there. Either way, Toby decided that he wanted to make vodka spiked gummy bears. I was so intrigued, how could I say no?

Zucchini Tots

**News Flash** My husband is awesome. I came home to one of the best birthday gifts ever. Do you guys remember my post about making a photo box for better blog photos? Well, not only did he make me one, he made me two! What a nice surprise! Big thanks to my father in law for helping! They are so handy! Take a look. Bigger, better, made of wood. Totally bad ass. I love it! 

Sweet Treats: Yogurt Dipped Strawberries

So we are back from Seattle on a red eye flight and let's just say we are not bright eyed and bushy tailed.  It is Sunday night and I dreaded going grocery shopping, doing laundry or even doing my homework. The one good thing that came out of today was a new snack!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars

These are delicious! Even better- they are preservative free!

We are on Day 6 of healthy eating for the week. I found this recipe on Pinterest ( my new obsession)  originally posted on How Sweet Eats. After seeing how easy it is to make your own granola bars, I couldn't help but think," why have I been spending $4 for a box of eight granola bars?"
