Eating healthy dinners during the work week can be a challenge. This week I'll walk you through a quick, easy, satisfying, and healthy dinner that takes less than 30 minutes.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Sometimes there's nothing better than a banana bread breakfast. I am a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast, and I usually go for eggs and toast or oatmeal, both of which take time to prepare. Sometimes I don't have much time in the morning, and at those times, grabbing a piece of healthy [...]
Fudgy Greek Yogurt Brownies
Faced with stress and a heavy workload. I decided we needed some therapy in the form of fudgy chocolate brownies, and because I am a health nut, I replaced butter and oil with 2% greek yogurt. These brownies are fudgy delicious squares of happiness, so I hope you enjoy your chocolate therapy as much as we did.

Â The caffe at the top of the tram had everything I hoped for. [...]
Autumn’s Maple Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
It is officially winter. Â The leaves haven't changed and the sun hasn't gone into hiding, but the chill air means that winter has hit the bay area. Now I am not a summer baker, but once fall comes around I become queen of lazy Sunday baking. Â I prepare all of the ingredients and as my [...]
