Blanquita Bites:: Husband and Kid Approved Blueberry Muffins

Hey Everyone!! I showed you my homemade blueberry muffins on Saturday and wanted to share the recipe that I used.  When they were done, I tried them and said, "Wow, they are good."  My husband looked at me and said, "well, that doesn't mean much."  Hey now??!!  He knows that I like "healthy" tastes that he and the boys don't always like.  But to their surprise (and mine too), they liked them!  Noah liked them so much that he put down his ring pop at the pool to eat his muffin first (mind- blown haha!!). So here it is... You can make any substitutions you wish to make them fit your goals and lifestyle. - 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (I chose to use 1 part regular white flour and 2 parts whole wheat flour) -1/2 Cups Sugar in the Raw (you can substitute the sweetener of your choice here) -1/2 tsp Sea Salt -2 tsp Baking Powder -1/3 Cup Oil (I chose to mix coconut oil and good old fashion butter) -1 large egg (we use o

Blanquita Bites:: Peanut Butter Banana Vegan Pancakes

I know, I know...That sounds like an oxymoron.  How can you have a dessert that is a "pancake" on the Daniel Fast? Well, I think I've got you covered AND it's 21 Day Fix Approved too. To start, the Daniel Fast is a three week vegan fast while also fasting from any sugar/sweetener and processed foods.  This is the fourth year that our church has participated in this type of corporate fast during our month of prayer and we try and participate when we can.

I think I hit the JACKPOT!!  These Peanut Butter Banana pancakes are AMAZING!!! Here's how I made them... Ingredients: -1/2 banana -1/2 yellow container (1/8 cup) of rolled oats -1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract -1/2 tsp of cinnamon (a few heavy dashes) -1 tbsp of crunchy all

Powered By Performance:: My Review of the New Beachbody Supplements

At Summit, the release of the all-new performance products took place and you better believe that I snagged a sampler pack.  I wanted to try it ALL!!  The sampler pack comes with one serving of all of the new performance products.  It's a great way to see if you like the taste and how they make you feel.  Since I am a diehard E & E fan, I wanted to put the new Energize to the test. So last Saturday, I had a nine mile run scheduled with our group that's training for the Rock-N-Roll Half Marathon over labor day weekend.  What better way to try out the products.  I got up early (like 4:30 early) on Saturday and down went the Energize.  Now at Summit, my coach tried it and felt tingling (as it helps circulation before working out).  I'm not much for tingling, so I was skeptical (keeping it real here).  I did feel a "fresh" feeling but without a lot of tingling, so that worked for me. While the Energize was kicking in, I filled up my water belt (which has 3
