I’m four pounds away from my prepregnancy weight and I’m only four weeks postpartum! I’ve tried not to snack as much or eat sugary treats because I don’t want to take a whole year to lose my baby weight like last time. I’m trying to get back into shape by this summer (give or take)….

Rum Raisin and Carrot Sticky Rolls
Easter is two weeks away and I can’t wait to eat desserts, desserts, desserts! I’ll probably wolf down chocolate eggs, marshmallow bunnies, and the all-time favorite carrot cake. This year I wanted to try something a little different. I love carrot cake (minus the cream cheese frosting), but serving a dessert with a kreative twist…
Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

Easy Green Bean Pasta Salad
If you’ve been following my blog, then you know that I love pasta! I’ve made my own pasta and have had authentic pasta while living in Italy for three years and I still can’t get enough. Sometimes the whole no-carb craze gets on my nerves just because I know pasta is loaded with carbs. However,…
