With Thanksgiving coming up this week, I'm excited that I had leftover soup in the freezer.

Healthy Recipe: My first Schweaty Balls (aka Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Balls)
I've been eyeing these little protein & energy balls that are all over Pinterest, but had yet to try my hand at them. While I love me some Larabars, I'm not really a huge fan of dates, and so many of them are filled with dates, I kept searching for the right recipe. As usual, …
Healthy Recipe: Pumpkin Chai Oat Muffins
I love fall. It reminds me of high school football games, apple picking at North Star Orchards, the french fries with spray vinegar at Jay and Livermore Falls, the best birthday parties any kid could ask for, and getting to choose my favorite Tootsie Pops from my Nampie's stash after school.
