It’s funny how the start of the school year changes things so fast! Our kids started back to school on Monday and the house has been quieter and our family schedule has changed once again. I’m working on training and teaching fitness in the mornings and blogging in the early afternoons, and evenings are getting […]

Chocolate-Dipped Protein Bars
Check out these yummy protein bars: don’t they look good? These taste good too and are really easy to make. I got this recipe for these protein bars from Real Fit Moms.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have noticed something about many of my posts (especially when it comes to desserts): I tend to begin with some version of the words “I love…(insert dessert name)”. Hmm…maybe it’s time to try a new writing tactic? But I guess it’s better than any negative things I could say. But really, who has negative […]

Best Ever Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes
This morning my kids wanted pancakes for breakfast, so I decided to try something a little bit different. I had a recipe from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for pancakes that *rock!*, so I adapted it for our family. I usually get too fussy about the thickness of the batter, getting enough leavening, etc. But today, […]

These perfect little chocolate chip cookies are made with whole grain oats and oat flour and are reminiscent of my favorite homemade granola bars.
