Wednesday Q&A #11

What are some sweaters for winter that are actually warm? There are a lot of lighter sweaters out there for fall but I need some good suggestions for when the temperates really drop!

I totally understand!! It’s good to have both lightweight and heavy sweaters in your lineup and I’ve shared more of the lightweight variety lately since we have still be experiencing more fall weather rather than really cold winter weather.  I’ve shared some of my favorites that I’ve got my eye on for the winter below!

Do you have any healthy dessert recipes? I’d love some healthier alternatives to try!

Yes absolutely! In fact, I am going to be sharing a ton of recipes in the workout & nutrition program, and as a little sneak peek I’ll share one of those here with ya!  And y’all know I’m also all in favor of just having a regular cookie every now and then too, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  But I get sometimes too its nice to have “healthier” treats with substitutions that may fit our personal goals a little better and still of course taste delicious. Enjoy both 🙂

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour OR brown rice protein
  • 1/2 cup all-natural unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 mashed bananas
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Stir ingredients until well combined. Put dough on lightly greased wax paper on cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.

If you’re new around here, the workout & nutrition program will be released very soon, be sure to be on my email list to know exactly when!

I need some tips on styling a bar cart for the holidays.  Do you have any tips?

I’m glad you asked because I actually did write a little post on this last year!! You can read it here. Sorry some of the photos from it didn’t transfer over when I changed my blog name…oops.  I also love the items below for styling a bar cart, and even this bar cart in case you don’t already have one 🙂  So cute & chic.  Also a lot of the items below would be great gift ideas as well!!  PS I am sharing the holiday gift guides later this week so those will be up soon!
