Celebrate the flavors of fall by making these spiced pumpkin cookies that have a soft yet chewy texture with a bit of crunch from the addition of pecans and white chocolate chips. Cracking open a can of pumpkin puree is a commitment. Unless you’re planning to use the entire thing in a recipe, you’re often…
Cranberry Salsa
With ingredients like fresh cranberries, jalapeños, green pepper, and lime juice, this Cranberry Salsa offers a colorful dip that’s sweet with a touch of tartness and mild spice. Dips and salsas are the ultimate party food. You make a big batch, set it out for the masses, and refill the chips/veggies/whatever as needed. It’s just…
Almond Oatmeal Cookies
Mix up the classic oatmeal cookie recipe by adding almond flavor for a boost of nuttiness and nutrients. Growing up, I probably made oatmeal cookies more than any other type of cookie because they were my dad’s favorite. I’d usually add chocolate chips to half the batch for myself (shocker), but these days, I love…
Pin It Party 2
This week has been slightly insane. I’ve been working lots of overtime, so I’ve had little time for anything. Needless to say, I’m really excited it’s Friday. This girl needs some time do absolutely nothing. As a result of the busyness, I’ve been fitting in quick workouts every night. I’ve done the following treadmill run…

Workouts Thursday: 26 pushups + 1-mile walk Today: Possibly my Keep It Light Treadmill Run plus 28 pushups. This weekend: Last day of my pushup challenge is tomorrow!

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. I’ve messed with this recipe about four different times, and I’ve finally gotten the result that I wanted—a moist-yet-fluffy loaf of delicious banana bread. Any time I have a big tub…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Workout Monday: 25-Minute Incline Run – holy crap is that hard Tuesday: Sad full body circuit that wasn’t too challenging Today: Running like a boss. Picking from my treadmill workouts for whatever I’m in the mood for. Hola. I’m short on the favorites this week. Either I’m not very amused by things or I’m not…

Happy National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! ……………a day early. Whenever I actually have a recipe to share, I like to keep it consistent. Tuesday=food day in the GMHO world.

What to Do with Leftover Halloween Candy
…other than eat way too much like I’ve been guilty of doing. The below picture is our leftover candy. There’s a lot more than the picture makes it look like. Pretty soon there will just be Skittles left because I’m not the biggest fan. If you tend to splurge on leftover Halloween candy a bit…
