    Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten Free}

    I am sharing a Peanut Butter Cookie today. Do I have your attention? If you are anything like me, I definitely do. I love Peanut Butter more than I could possibly say. Literally, I think I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon…every.single.day. and be completely happy.

    Nutella Banana Turnovers

    I made it! 14 days on the detox and I made it. WHEW! What an experience that was! Thanks again to all of you out there that supported me the whole time. It was so very much appreciated, I cannot even express my gratitude. Although the detox is over there are some things that I learned from it that I really feel like I am going to keep with me. The eating small meals every few hours I think I am going to stick with. That really helped my body stay alert and full of energy, which I really liked. Another thing I want to keep doing is eating breakfast!…

    Got PB?

    Hello! I am back from Detroit! UGH, what a trip that was! Literally the day I left it was snowing once again in CT haha. What a winter we have had! They were canceling flights left and right at Bradley Airport, but for some reason the only flight that seemed to still be leaving was my Delta flight to Detroit, haha. Once I got to Detroit the weather wasn’t that bad at all. I was really surprised. Normally Detroit has much more snow than us by this time. They maybe had 6″ on the ground? and that was at most 6″…but not for long! While I was there, Detroit got…
