For a sweet and colorful treat, make this funfetti cookie recipe that uses Greek yogurt for a slightly less sinful cookie that’s still perfectly soft and chewy. Funfetti cookies have always been one of my top favorite cookies. They’re not usually the first ones that pop into my head—because HELLO chocolate chips exist—but every time…
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing & Croutons
Make the classic Caesar salad from scratch by topping a bed of romaine lettuce with grilled chicken, homemade Greek yogurt Caesar dressing, and simple whole wheat croutons. When it comes to salads, Caesar is probably my favorite. However, I don’t make it very often because I never have the dressing on hand and also because…

Strawberry Chocolate Muffins with Greek Yogurt
I’ve been on a muffin kick lately. This is the third week in a row I’ve made them. First, it was my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread in muffin form. Then I made the Banana Bran Muffins I shared recently. Yesterday, I made a new recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for months—muffins filled with strawberries,…
Creamy Taco Dip
Back in the day, I was absolutely obsessed with taco dip. The local grocery store sold this stuff that I could seriously not get enough of. I found a recipe recently that seemed similar so I tried my hand at it yesterday to bring to a get together we went to. I made it a…
10 Healthy Recipes Using Greek Yogurt
My all-time favorite way to make recipes healthier is to use Greek yogurt. There are so many uses for the ingredient, whether you eat it straight-up, use it in baked goods, or mix it into other dishes. I often use it in place of at least part of the following in recipes: Mayonnaise Sour Cream…
Cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin
Since Matt and I don’t live near our families, most holidays consist of us chillin’ like villains and making a bunch of food because we can. I went all out on Thanksgiving last year, and this past Sunday, we decided to cook up a little feast for ourselves again. We did the whole ham dealio…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Workouts Monday: Ran on the treadmill for 25 minutes, getting to 2.25 from what I can remember. I also did a 1 minute and 20 second plank for my plank challenge.

A Few of My Favorite Things
I’m in zombie mode today. I guess that’s what happens when you go to a bar with coworkers on a Tuesday night and don’t get to bed until super late. (Worth it.) It’s days like today that I consider returning to my love of caffeine. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I switch…
Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
Try this homemade banana bread recipe that uses Greek yogurt to create more of a moist end result with an added boost of protein.

Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Today, I would like to discuss breakfast food. And by breakfast food, I mean one specific recipe I need you to try. I made this Greek yogurt pancakes recipe over the weekend and was SO excited because it actually turned out well! I’ve tried making them before, and they were a quite unpleasant consistency—AKA, there…

Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies
For a healthier take on the classic chocolate chip cookies, try this recipe that uses whole wheat and oat flours instead of white four and Greek yogurt in place of part of the butter. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know there was an earthquake around here yesterday. Apparently there was an earthquake in…
My Favorite Things
San Diego is hot hot hot today. I just got back from a run, and OH BABY 70 degrees has never felt so hot. At the moment, I’m enjoying a Berry Spinach Smoothie, and it’s really hitting the spot. It may look brown there, but it’s actually a pretty purplish red color. You see, I have…
Tasty Tuesday: Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
I made something nutritious and delicious today. ‘Twas a wonderful bowl of pink. Before I enjoyed the frozen goodness, though, I finished a lighter workout. Workout Ran 4 recovery miles and did this plank challenge for some core work. It’s one of those days that I just haven’t felt like doing anything, so I was…
