First place goes to CINNAMON DATE.

This was like a desserty bread. So good!
I tried it again another day and toasted it this time and put a little spray butter on it. SUPER GOOD again! I give two thumbs up to either method of devouring!

2nd place : Carrot Raisin

This was just as good as regular banana bread, but it has SO much more healthy additions! Protein and Fiber! whoop whoop!

GREAT START TO SUMMER VACAY!

so, yesterday, I finished my JUNIOR YEAR of college!!!!!!
WHAT UP!!!


and to get my summer started off with a bang, I went out to dinner with my friend Krissy before AQUA. Our church has a college worship the first Wednesday of every month and it's awesome! I love it! The music is great and our college pastor always preaches on exactly what we're going through.


Now, onto my DELICIOUS meal at Ruby Tuesdays...

Chicken Fresca
It was on the "fit" menu, so thumbs up for that!

Grilled chicken topped with tomatoes.
Grilled Zucchini
and
White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

How sweet was this...my chicken was in the shape of a HEART!
<3

and today was the start to ANOTHER FUN FILLED SUMMER OF BABYSITTING!!!
:)

Blake and I played outside ALL day long!

(don't mind him, he just wasn't in a picture taking mood..haha!)

My "little sister"

okay, she's technically not my biological sister, but she might as well be!
:)

I love Myrtle!

I started babysitting her when she was UNDER 2 years old, and she is turning SEVEN next month! Can you believe it? Good grief, time flies when you're having fun!

FRESH START!

so thankful today is a brand new day and that means a fresh start for getting back on the healthy train. Although I enjoy indulging in junk food, I enjoy eating healthy food so much more! I feel more energetic when I eat wholesome nutritionally filled foods.

I didn't have to take any exams today, so that meant I had TIME to cook a SUPER HEALTHY, PROTEIN PACKED lunch!!!

Grilled Chicken, Edamame, and a Sweet Potato = DELISH!
:)

I also wanted to share a BRAND NEW recipe with you that I tried the other day. In order to satisfy my sweet tooth, but keep it healthy, I decided to create my own healthified crepes!

Ingredients:

Fat Free Strawberry Cream Cheese
Fresh strawberries

To make Kelsey's Krepes
(don'tcha love my creative name? lol)

1. Spread cream cheese on tortilla.
2. Add sliced strawberries
3. Fold in half
4. Put in the panini press for about 2 minutes or so
5. Sprinkle some granola on top
6. Eat eat eat!
