This for That… Healthy swaps in the kitchen

I don't know about you but when I was slowly making the switch to more healthier options, one of the hardest things was knowing where to begin and what was ACTUALLY healthy. I think one of the hardest things for me was not feeling overwhelmed with it all. What swaps could I make that were easy and inexpensive? I know if I felt this way, I couldn't be the only one. I wanted to create a simple guide to some easy swaps with links so you can find them quickly. I hope this helps you and your family make healthy eating hassle free!

Melt in Your Mouth Paleo Almond Butter Cups

Is there anything better than melt in your mouth chocolate? I don't think so! I LOVE chocolate! That smooth, velvety texture is like nothing else.

Grain-Free, Paleo Donuts

We recently had a polar vortex where we live. I'm talking -50 below 0.  The whole region shut down practically. My kid's school closed for nearly a week, so we were trapped inside. I didn't mind. It gave me a reason to stay in and bake all day. My kids love to help me in …
