Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Goodness

I struggle with getting hungry in between meals.  I normally let myself get so hungry I feel sick.  Because of this, I am always looking for healthy snack ideas.  I don’t know why I struggle so bad with snacks.  I know what healthy snacks I should have, but instead I reach over for the Oreos or the bag of chips.  I eat this snack almost everyday. Either in the afternoon or in the evening after the kiddos go to bed.

It is super easy to make!

I use the Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt add in about 1/2 tbsp of Earth Balance Creamy Peanut Butter and then top it off with a 1/2-1 tbsp of the mini chocolate chips. I love these chocolate chips because they are dairy, nut and soy free.

If you are like me and need something to calm the sweet tooth monster down, pick up these three items at the grocery store and enjoy! I promise, it is so so good!

Thank You Pinterest and Go Dawgs!

This weekend we went to our friends’ house to watch the UGA vs. Notre Dame game.  I am not the best at bringing appetizers and sides to a gathering.  If you know me, then you know I’m normally the one that gets assigned rolls, pickles and ice for family holiday dinners.

I searched Pinterest for a cheese dip or appetizer to bring and came across a Pizza Cheese Football.  The ingredient list was short and the instructions were fairly easy.  I don’t like to make something new without trying it beforehand, but I decided why not?  I did, however, make my husband try it before letting anyone else taste it.  He approved and it was a hit!

Such a fun idea for all of your football game parties this fall.  The recipe calls for sour cream to draw the lines on the football, but I actually used mozzarella cheese, cut it into lines and added them on top of the football.

We had a great time with great friends and ended the night celebrating the Georgia Bulldogs beating Notre Dame 20-19.  Go Dawgs!!

Happy Football Season,
