Last Minute Valentine's Stuff

Thought I'd pop in on a Tuesday (usually unheard of) and give you a few last minute Valentine's Ideas.
Make these for you or someone special in your life.

Skinny Sweetheart Shake

This protein shake with chocolate covered strawberry magic will get you ready for whatever kind of Valentine's day you are gonna have.  Or you could make it for your dude/lady or your kids.  It's a crowd pleaser, for sure.

Skinny Cookies

These little chocolate cookies come together in a snap with help from a cake mix.  Take them to work and pass them out.  Or just make them for the family.

Stamped Cards

Homemade cards are the best cards.  Make a quick eraser stamp and you can make alot of cards in a short amount of time.  Score!

Last Minute V-Day Painted Shirt

You need to be properly dressed for such an occasion.  So, you could bust out the fabric paint

Or the sewing machine:

Reverse Applique Heart Shirt

See you guys tomorrow for What I Ate Wednesday!!

National Pumpkin Day!

Hey, there.
Long time no see ;)

Well, I had to do a lazy blogger post, because today is national pumpkin day!  Yay!

So here's a round up of my favorite pumpkin inspired recipes..

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Start the day off right with a skinny version of a pumpkin spice latte.  It's worth it.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Mini Muffins

These guys are also lightened up, but super moist and delicious.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

This is probably my most popular pumpkin recipe.  It is like a dense blondie brownie with cinnamon swirl, pumpkin flavors and white chocolate chips.  Drooling yet?

Single Serving Fudge & Peanut Butter Cake (hidden pumpkin)

This is a secret pumpkin recipe.  It makes one perfectly rich and decadent (while still diet friendly) serving.

Mini Layered Pumpkin Pies

These little pies are no-bake and super easy to throw together.  I made them in tiny mason jars.

Pumpkin Pie Spiced Chocolate Chunk Cookies

This is the newest of my pumpkin recipes, but actually has no pumpkin in it.  It's the spice that makes these cookies shine.

Wow, looking through my recipes, I really need to make some pumpkin bread and some savory pumpkin recipes.  So, I better get crackin'!

What are your favorite things to make with pumpkin?
