#TBT

Another week is almost gone and it's hard to believe that October only has about a week and half left until it's November! Today, since it's Thursday, I've decided to just pull together the most #TBT (Throwback Thursday) pictures I could find that could sum up my life through a photo-montage.

#SiblingLove. Love you, Seanie!

#HealthyHabits

Cookie-dough made from chickpeas.

Being healthy is something that's easier said than done. It's no secret that everybody has their weaknesses and that these food-weaknesses don't normally come in a healthy package (no pun intended!) For instance, when I've had a rough day or all I want to do is crash on the couch and hang out with friends watching a good movie, I always associate cookie-dough with the occasion  Cookie-dough is clearly not a healthy choice, but every once in a while it's okay to indulge! I've done some research for my #unhealthycraving and realized that there are other ways to make your ideal snack/dessert/craving a little bit better for you. For this example, you can make cookie-dough healthier by using chickpeas (normally used to make hummus!) Surprisingly enough they are a great substitute and it is just as satisfying just without so many carbs & cals.
