Maple Chocolate Swirl Yogurt Bowl (Easy Breakfast)

June 10, 2017 By beautyinchrist 12 Comments

Y’all know that I love yogurt bowls. I love them especially when you add a swirl of peanut butter or almond butter or you could even do Erin’s new Macadamia butter. They are just my favorite food in the world especially when I don’t have much time to make something that takes more than 5 minutes of work. Yogurt bowls can be a way of putting love and art and care into one tiny bowl with very little work. 😀 That’s what happened today when I was really hungry, but I really didn’t feel like doing much more than yogurt and toppings. That is how this ‘Maple Crunch Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Bowl’ came about; by necessity.

Frosted Peanut Butter Mocha Cookies (Gluten Free and BUTTERY!)

May 4, 2017 By beautyinchrist 15 Comments

I haven’t done a recipe on here in a while, but every so often I get the hankering to discover new ways to use ingredients and make yummy baked goods. I actually love using recipes from my favorite food bloggers, because they excel at what they do; and let’s face it. I’m not a food blogger; I just occasionally like to throw in a recipe and encourage you that butter and sugar are friends (not enemies), unless you are dairy free. 🙂 Today’s recipe came from a thought I had yesterday. I wanted to do cookies, but I wanted to frost them too; so I made these frosted peanut butter ‘pillow’ cookies. They were so soft, and the frosting was just perfect.

Lemon Buttery Skillet Cookie (Gluten Free + Vegan Option)

March 21, 2017 By beautyinchrist 27 Comments

Disclaimer: Bliss Nut Butters and Whole Me sent me product to make recipes for them! I was not compensated with anything besides product. I would only use products in my recipes that I really love and would use regularly!

Did someone say a buttery cookie? This buttery tasting (it doesn’t actually have butter, but it tastes BUTTERY) cookie was a combination of a desire to use my iron skillet to make something, use the bag of Lemon Berry Chia Clusters Whole Me sent me, remind you that I actually extended the giveaway for Whole Me Clusters, AND create something that everybody in our house could eat. I didn’t want to skimp on fat or be afraid of sugar with this recipe, so I just used other fats like coconut oil (so our dairy free household members could eat it) and almond flour (so our grain free household members could dig into it too.)

But today is also the day that we celebrate the life of little Charlie.

A Day In The Life of A Recovered Runner (Creamy Almond Chocolate Smoothie)

March 5, 2017 By beautyinchrist 60 Comments

Disclaimer: I received 3 bags of Whole Me Clusters in exchange for doing a recipe and a giveaway on the blog. I received no other monetary compensation for the post. I only use products I 100% love and enjoy. I love to find unusual combos that are both nutritious and satisfying. Any ‘nutritional’ comments I make are purely from my opinion and not from a professional.

Last week I asked the question, ‘Is Recovery Entirely Possible?’ I’ve realized that I’m far more recovered than I ever thought I would be; I was reminded of that today after I completed a 8(ish) mile run. I didn’t want to restrict; I wanted to get in as much food as possible. These were some of the thoughts that went through my head as I ate a creamy smoothie (the recipe is coming below!) this morning after my run.
