Healthified No Bake Thumbprint Cookies

July 18, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, today I decided to be a bit lazy and go the no bake route. I mean... it's 100 degrees here in Texas and I sure don't want to turn my oven or stove on anymore than I need to. That being said, sometimes a girl just needs a sweet treat or a cookie to make it through the day! This is definitely the best of both worlds right here.

These no bake thumbprint cookies are so super easy to whip and I don't even need to heat my kitchen up at all to enjoy them! The best part is that they are basically as clean as cookies can come! Using oat and nut flours instead of wheat, also means they are gluten-free!...

Skinny Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes

I'm sort of in love with greek yogurt, if you hadn't noticed. I tend to find any reason and excuse to use it in almost every meal and in every way possible; not just as breakfast in the morning!

Wholesome snacking and summer fun is what it's all about for me right now. And any way that I can escape using the oven right now is key right now during these hot summer months. This no bake cheese cake is the perfect hot weather snack or dessert; cool, refreshing, and super easy to do.

Key limes are definitely one of my favorite flavors, especially in the summer, they're sweet, tangy and with just the right amount of lime flavor without giving too much of a sour punch to your taste buds. So, when I got a bagful in my local produce box this week, I knew exactly what I wanted to do; no bake key lime cheesecakes!...

What can I say? I have a four year old, and one thing that I've always got plenty of is Goldfish snacks! I think I have a pantry full of nearly every flavor that's offered. Some sweet. Some savory. All delicious. I'm always trying to come up with fun and playful things to do with the tasty little snacks that we all know and love. Today, I'm thinking way outside the box (and the bag) though.

With spring fast approaching I knew that I wanted to create something light, sweet, rather guilt-free, and easy enough that it could be done while chasing around the kiddos or even make use of some helping little hands. This rich and creamy Skinny Peanut Butter Cheesecake was the perfect solution! I'm sure you're wondering by now... why I'm talking about a cheesecake rather than some sort of trail mix. Well, the answer is simple. The Goldfish pretzels are what makes up the crust of this decadent beauty!...
