So the winter is long gone down here in sunny Florida and the first thing that comes to mind when I think winter is a campfire and campfires remind me of s'mores! I think we literally had 3 days of winter down here and I'm not complaining. I am such a Florida girl, I don't think I could survive anywhere else. To bring back winter without the cold, I whipped up this yummy s'mores protein donut recipe. It's super tasty and you won't even know that they're healthy!

So I'm kind of obsessed with Trader Joe's cookie butter. A little over a year ago I had never been inside of a Trader Joe's and had only heard about cookie butter in passing. Some days I wish I had never heard about it because then I could have saved myself thousands of calories (yes thousands, I've eaten that much cookie butter!), but hey you only live once and this stuff is just that good! Besides cookie butter being now one of my favorite foods, a few of my other favorite foods are dark chocolate (duh!) and bananas. So I decided to whip up these Cookie Butter Stuffed Dark Chocolate Covered Bananas!

It's almost Christmas and I have not bought one single gift for anyone. Nope, not a one. I have been a total slacker on the gift buying and it's mostly from over booking myself, plus the vacation to California didn't help matter much. One thing I try to do is save time anywhere I can and one way I do that is with meal prepping. My newest meal prep kick have been these Peanut Butter Coconut Protein Balls.
