A DATE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE ;)

Dates are a nutritious way to conquer those cravings because they contain natural sugars…

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…
