Halloween is coming, y'all! I know it's a little bit early, but I can't hold it in any more!
I'm always excited for Halloween to roll around, but this year even more so. I was a little too late in testing out these cookies last year to have them here in time for Halloween, but this year... I made good and sure they were the first Halloween treat to make the list!
These cookies are soft, sweet and perfectly delicate. Plus, they're super cute and festive for any Halloween gathering...

Is it me or has everyone else noticed the 'power bowl' trend that's been taking over the foodie world lately? I'm not mad at it at all either. I love me a good bowl of power. Morning, noon, or night. I mean.... I'm a momma of a really active 7 year old, so I've got to stay on top of things with plenty of energy and strength.
While it's so hot out right now in the blazes of 'Texas in July' heat, I tend to opt for the simple, easy to put together, no heat involved style of cooking. At least until it cools off enough in a couple of more months to where I can feel comfortable with turning my stove and oven back on for any amount of time. This Cinnamon Roll Power Bowl fits the bill in every way. It's filling, light, easy to make, and wholesome to boot!...

Who needs scented candles around the holidays when all you have to do is roast some almonds?! These Skinny Honey Roasted Almonds are amazing! I can't tell you all how great my house smells right now. Even my 6 year old (who doesn't care for almonds) ran into the kitchen to ask me if she could have some of whatever it was I was cooking. And trust me when I say that they taste every bit as good as they smell!
I love almonds for so many reasons, and I've always got some tucked away in my pantry for quick and easy snacking. Almonds carry a massive amount of nutrients: fiber, protein, healthy fats, and vitamin E to name a few. They are completely loaded with antioxidants and can even help control blood sugar. It helps too that they are great for helping to lose weight too...
Read MoreMy daughter and I were singing Rudolph all morning long! While eating breakfast, while driving to school. I'm a little scared and also excited that come Friday, I'll have her home for two and a half weeks of winter break! Now... ask me at the end of the two and a half weeks to see if I still feel the same about that.
The holidays are always a fun time, especially when you've got little ones running around with all of their excitement. There is something to be said about homemade gifts, and I've always said that. They mean the most to me and always have. I would much rather have something that I know someone spent the time, effort, and thought into... than anything else! To know that you were in someone's special thoughts is a gift in itself...

I hear jingle bells starting to ring off in the distance! I for one, am not going to be on Santa's naughty list this year though. This Skinny Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Dip is as nice as can be with just a handful of simple ingredients and the most amazing frosted sugar cookie taste you'll find in anything other than the real deal. Sprinkles included!
Yep! That's right, Santa. You can enjoy this tasty sweet treat and still be able to fit back up the chimney at the end of the night. *Wink, Wink.* This dip is perfect for setting the mood for the holidays, which for me are always full of warm and happy memories. I love how whimsical and fun while this dip is, while also being a light and a welcome addition to any table. Plus, no one will ever guess that it's been lightened up, because it just tastes that good!...

It's been dark and gloomy outside for two days now, and quite honestly I love it! The downpour of rain and this cooling weather to me means that fall has arrived. Fall is my most favorite season and that's probably because it includes my two favorite holidays.
With the influx of fall, comes a change to my morning routine. Things have settled down finally with my little one off at school and a much needed quite lull descending on the house during the day. It also means that I get to use my oven again. Praise be it. I've missed my oven this year during the summer.
Use of my oven means baking, and baking means I get to make homemade donuts again! These easy pumpkin donuts take no time at all to make and pair perfectly with my pumpkin spice coffee as part of a great start to any morning...
