Happy Earth Day!!! Be sure to get outside today to both celebrate and appreciate the beautiful planet that we all live on.

Here are some of my favorite ways!! Choose sustainable: make smarter, healthier food choices! Plant a tree/start a garden: they can help save energy, create new habitats, clean the air

cinnamon chocolate chip cookies
More dessert recipes....shocking, I know. Can you believe it!? But for real - chocolate chip cookies are always a good idea. Before I knew anything about health, I used to come home from school and my mom would have a whole warm batch made on the table (not anything healthy, we're talking Nestle' Toll House action) and I swear myself and my brothers would devour them in t-5 minutes.
