Creating a whipped cream to dip my fruit in was a must for me. Sometimes you just need a little extra sweetness to your day. This is a very simple and delicious Whipped cream. I use it for fruit, pie and garnishes. It is a light and guilt free treat. I always make a small amount so that I don’t go crazy and put it on everything. You can duplicate the recipe depending on what you are using it for. I triple it when I am using it for cupcake icing or doing a layered cake/berry treat.

Beautiful Blueberry Bread

Beautiful Blueberry Bread

Traveling can be tricky when you are trying to make a good lifestyle change. The best way to stay on track is to bring some of your go to items home. If someone has dessert- make sure you have your own sweet to snack on. It is all about planning ahead and keeping your ultimate goal in mind. *Your goal to be a healthier you!* My last tip- Always pack your workout gear and find new places to take a hike, run or bike if possible.
Tomorrow we head to Maryland to go to visit our family! I made Paleo Crunch, Apple Bran Muffins, packed fruits and veggies and ingredients to make Zucchini Lasagna (per my families request). I also worked on a bread. Normally I make a Blueberry buckle that is to die for (sooo not healthy). This was my attempt to make a healthier alternative to that treat. Hopefully my family will approve.
