A DATE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE ;)
I have sugar cravings every now and then, (okay more like everyday), but having half of a kit kat bar or a sugary doughnut wouldn’t make you feel the greatest if you are working towards specific results on your fitness goals. Dates are a nutritious way to conquer those cravings because they contain natural sugars…

Would you believe this was my first attempt at baking? Well it was! The last time I ever attempted baking anything was in grade 11 foods class, which was many light years ago, plus I had to work with a group of girls so I never really got the full experience on my own. But…
DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP BALLS
Hmmmm! I had a long day at work and when I got home I was craving something moist with chocolate. Usually I would buy something calorie dense at the closest dessert store but I was able to conquer that habit and make something clean when I got home, and it was totally worth it. It…
VANILLA APPLE SPICED POMEGRANATE SHOTS! NEW YEARS EVE SPECIAL
So I was watching the awesome Jamie King doing what he does best on the food network and he came up with this awesome adult treat. What better way to enjoy this delicious fruit than taking it as a shot! I know right? However, alcohol does not sit very well in my tummy anymore because…
DARK CHOCOLATE KIWI POPSICLES
So I have to make a confession, I have a serious love affair with dark chocolate! I literally do not eat any dark chocolate lower than 85%, and call me crazy, but the darker the chocolate, the richer the taste, and the healthier it is for you! Usually like most women I go through my…
