    Unicorn Bark!

      It’s truly magical.   That mom moment when you whip up a healthier snack for your kids and they actually like it.  And eat it.  Maybe it’s because I used the word unicorn.  It seems that if you put the word unicorn in front of anything it creates a lot of hype.  Or if you add just enough color and sprinkles.   “Moommmmm… I don’t want broccoli for dinner.” “But it’s unicorn broccoli!” “YUUMMMMM!!! Can I have seconds?!” It’s that easy.   Last night we whipped up this batch of yumminess.  Protein packed, nothing artificial (except for the sprinkles!), and satisfies that sweet tooth- and made for a perfect…

    Peppermint Mocha Martini (Without the Guilt)

    Tis the season.  Holiday parties.  Booze. Snacks.  Booze.  Snacks.  It’s never ending until January. We’re taking matters into our own hands this year, we hosted our own Christmas party, and the former bartender in me had been dying to stretch my legs and make some yummy drinks.   I had two in mind.  This one is a good one.  I can’t lie.  I’m a coffee creamer junkie, and my two favorites are peppermint mocha and gingerbread.  I wanted to recreate a similar flavor, in a blended or shaken martini, without the guilt.  I’m pretty pleased with the way these turned out.  I used a little Shakeology in this peppermint mocha…

    Pumpkin Spice Waffles

    With three kids with different preferences, I have learned that if I give into everyone’s requests I’d be a short order cook with an even shorter temper!  So when one kid asks for waffles, and one kid asks for muffins, I make one big batch and put some in muffin tins and some in the waffle maker.  Then everyone’s happy! This is the same recipe for my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip mini muffins but the only exception is I left out the chocolate chips.  They could go either way.  Or add nuts.  Or sub pumpkin for banana.  Or applesauce.  Whatever your little one’s hearts desire!   Pumpkin Spice Waffles:  Ingredients:  1…

    Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

    I can’t get enough “holiday smell” in my house.  It’s an addiction.  I put away my pumpkin spice candle yesterday and busted out holiday spice and that cinnamon smell took over my house last night. It was heavenly.  We decorated the tree.  We hung our stockings.  We listened to Christmas music and all was complete.  Until I woke up this morning and missed that pumpkin smell.  So I fixed it.  Well, I fixed muffins.  And waffles.  With pumpkin and spices and warmth and honey and deliciousness. And they tasted amazing and are guilt free too! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins: Ingredients:  1 1/3 c brown rice flour 1/2 cup quick cook…
