Skinny Peanut Butter & Chocolate Shake

June 15th, 2013Tina4 Comments

I had a craving for a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup. Who am I kidding, I could always go for one because they are one of my favorite candies. Sadly, they are not diet friendly. I’m still on my quest to lose weight so that’s not an option right now. Since I had the craving, I made the next best thing, a peanut butter and chocolate shake. In general I refuse to feel guilty for eating something “bad” (all things in moderation, right?), so this is a healthier version of what you’d find at your local ice cream shop because I skipped the …

Easy Hummus

June 5th, 2013Tina8 Comments

Hummus is my go-to dip because it’s a real crowd pleaser. A lot of people like it for so many reasons. It’s gluten-free, vegetarian friendly, has no cholesterol, and it tastes amazing. In other words, it’s likely healthier than a creamy, cheesy type of dip. The chick peas combined with the garlic flavor and a hint of lemon create an awesome taste. If you use fresh garlic then you can enjoy it right after it’s been made…no wait time. However, I find that if the garlic is not fresh then in order to maximize the flavors let the hummus set …

Skinny Banana Blueberry Shake

May 30th, 2013Tina4 Comments

I’m so excited about this Skinny Banana Blueberry Shake because it’s one of my best tasting shake creations! I make shakes and smoothies often. I don’t tend to follow recipes but instead I just throw a bunch of ingredients in the blender, usually whatever I have in the fridge. Sometimes I have a winner and sometimes not so much. I love getting inspiration from my fellow food bloggers, family, friends, professional chefs, you name it. Have you ever heard of Sally’s Baking Addiction? Sally may have a baking addiction, but I have an addiction to seeing what Sally’s been up to. I’ve only been a …
