Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Dip

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Dip

I made this recipe (minus the almond meal) a couple of weeks ago to take to a friend’s house to watch the US v. Mexico soccer match.  I “tasted” too much of it while making it (and before I ate anything for dinner) and I 

Sunday Social: Work it

I’ve been posting less lately – busy getting things ready for the baby, though I feel like we’re pretty ready now.  I’ve spent a lot of time in the evenings when I’d normally be posting writing shower thank-yous and washing/folding tiny clothing.  On Friday we

Weekly Workout: September 6 – 12

I’ve definitely slowed things down with workouts and I feel a little better in the evenings.  I’ve made it through 35 weeks doing decent workouts and now my energy is starting to wane a bit.  I’ve even needed (or wanted) to take naps a few
