New Favorite Dessert/Snack

A few days ago, my husband left a recipe up on the computer (no doubt for me to find). I'm not sure if he wanted me to see it so that I would make the recipe (he is actually a very accomplished cook/baker himself...), or if he just thought I would like to see it. Either way, when I did find it, I had to try it.

I found my new favorite grab and go energy food, my favorite dessert, and my favorite all around sweet snack all in one in these delicious no bake energy bites! My favorite thing about them is the lack of guilt I feel when I pop two in my mouth for a snack, or for dessert. My next favorite thing is that they are all natural, and I don't feel guilty letting my toddler eat them, either.

This recipe was not my own, and I must give credit where credit is due. This is from a blog called Gimme Some Oven. It is a group of four women that run the blog, and they do a terrific job, so head on over there and check out some of the other recipes they have posted!

Here is the link to the recipe for No-Bake Energy Bites. Enjoy!

On Getting Active

I hope you are all enjoying your Spring, even though today it felt like winter again!

I have been getting tired of the same ol' same ol' in my workout routine (if I can even call it a routine...), which left me bored, which found me skipping the whole workout thing. So I decided to spice things up - here are some ideas to spice up your workouts as well!

1) Try something new -- I asked my husband to teach me how to play soccer. The benefits? A good cardio workout and quality time with my husband doing something he loves to do! I also found out that I am really enjoying soccer more than I ever thought I could. Lots of bonuses!

2) Enroll in an aerobics class -- Or something active. Working out with others will introduce you to new friends/accountability partners. Doing it together motivates you to not give up on yourself as easily. I am in a kickboxing class right now, and am absolutely loving it, even though it is hard work.

Ready..... GO! Go get active :)
