{Sweet Tooth}

There are two blogs I follow on for some awesome recipes. One is mainly dinners and trying to stay healthy. The other one is to satisfy my serious sweet tooth! So be warned! You will be drooling after you read this post!

Golden Oreo Cake Batter Blondies

 

When I made these I was trying to please the husband because he has an obsession with cake batter anything. We had friends over so I figured I would try this dessert. While I made them I finally realized {Total "Blonde" Moment...No pun intended} I never knew why they were called blondies. Brownies are brown! Blondies are blonde! A lightbulb lit up in front of me and I felt so stupid. But we had a good laugh about it! That's me! Baking you tasty treats and providing the comedic relief.. :)

DISCLAIMER:

These are soooo sweet/rich so one is plenty with vanilla ice cream.  

I found these bad boys on Pinterest. But my family has been making them for years! 

They are called  Resurrection Rolls on a different site. We always called them snails. I like the idea of it representing something special though and you can do it with kids. They are super easy! Perfect for Easter coming up!

Now for some SkinnyTaste recipes. Low Fat desserts that taste awesome are a great find. I seriously swear by this site. Everything tastes good. One of our favorite desserts is this pie. 

Takes a few minutes to make then its in the fridge for a couple hours and that's it!

Since it's low-fat the ingredients were cut in half. So it doesn't fill the entire pie crust. Just an FYI! Still tastes awesome though!

 

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie 

I made these back in May for my nephews birthday. Everyone loved them! It's kinda hard to stop at just one!

Mini- red, white, and blueberry Cheesecakes

 

{Favorite SKINNYTASTE recipes}

If you know me you know I don't have a long history of being a "cook". In fact I when I was growing up there were many times where I would go look in the fridge/pantry and yell to my mom that there was nothing to eat. Our first several years of marriage consisted of a lot of pasta, a lot of frozen dinners and maybe burritos. Easy stuff that could just be pulled out, heated up and ready to eat in no time.
Thank God for pinterest. Honestly! It made recipe finding a whole lot easier. You see a picture of a dish it looks good so you click the recipe. Now that we are in our new place for almost a year already. I've been consistently cooking up a storm.

This NEW year I've been trying really hard for this family to eat better. It's hard! Not because of lack of willing to do so. But because of time and budget. Unfortunately it's always been this way that healthier foods cost more where junk food is super cheap. There's really no way around that. Or healthy food doesn't taste good and takes up too much time to make. Since I can't fix the cost factor, I can help with the time and taste. So I have compiled a ton of my favorite recipes from my favorite website. www.Skinnytaste.com It's got a lot of lightened up recipes that taste absolutely yummy. Here are a few our favorites that we have made several times and can't get enough of.

Spaghetti with Sauteed chicken and grape tomatoes

Grilled Flank Steak

Mexican Slow Cooked Pork Carnitas

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Baked Chicken Milanese with Arugula and tomatoes

Puerto Rican style beans

I will post my favorite dessert recipes from Skinnytaste next time. This should occupy for awhile :)
