No Bake Granola Cakes
Big changes are happening over on my workouts page and even bigger changes are happening with my marathon training plans.

Trail Mix Energy Squares
Holy giveaway! The mandatory entry for my snack attack giveaway is to tell me what your favorite snack in the whole world is. I’m seeing a lot of nut butter, yogurt, chobani, and more salsa and tortilla chip comments than I can count. I really need to try this Chobani stuff. I wonder if I…
Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Breakfast Casserole

Chocolate Cups
Today marked my last day at the office until the New Year and the completion of our blondies in a jar Christmas gift project. I got to the office at 6am and hustled to get everything done so I could leave with a clear mind at the end of the day. I topped the day…
Fruit Crumbles
Nothing pleased me more than to find Enjoy Life granola about 6 months into my gluten free diet. “The things I could do with this!” I thought on the first day it caught my eye. Enjoy Life products are gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, soy free, egg free and casein-free. They’ve really tried to eliminate…
Cacao Macaroons
