Lettuce wraps are a quick and easy meal option!  They also have the potential to be incredibly healthy because you can customize your ingredients to create a diet-friendly meal or you can simply enjoy them because they are delicious 🙂  Swapping out a carb-heavy tortilla or slice of bread and replacing it with a low carb / low calorie option is always a win in my book!

Black Bean Brownies are moist, rich, and fudge-y.  I bet you never thought you would hear “black beans’ and “brownies” in the same sentence 🙂  Most people look at me like I’m crazy and ask if they heard right.  Yes – Black Bean Brownies are a thing and they are delicious!  They are also healthy and easy to make. The recipe can be found here. One thing I want to mention is this recipe can be Vegan, if Vegan chocolate chips are used, and it can also be Gluten Free, if the oats used are Gluten Free.

Once processed, I like … Continue reading
