Sharing my secret weapon at the holiday party π
|
Hey Reader! Oh my gosh, holiday parties are upon us! π I LOVE them... but... you know that moment when dozens of holiday cookies are staring at you from the dessert table? π Youβve already had a few, but you donβt want to eat 20! Well, I found a secret weapon. Itβs how I enjoy the party food... without eating ALL of it! I bring something I actually LOVE that feels good on my body, too! An appetizer or dessert that's a complete crowd pleaser. I don't have to skip the fun party foods. Peanut butter balls? Yes please! But itβs just SO much easier to stop when I can simply SWITCH to something that wonβt make me feel sugared out, yucky, or like βIβve blown itβ the next day. And here's my favorite: "No Bun Intended" Burger Bites! π Here's why I love them:
How I make them: sear little beef balls on both sides (or use ground turkey, chicken or crimini mushroom caps!), then stack them on a toothpick with your favorite toppings. That's it! π Do what makes you happy and add any or every topping imaginable:
Dipping sauce is optional (I usually put out a ketchup/mustard mix). π Get the full recipe here!β It's really YOU who makes the holidays magical for everyone around you. You deserve to have fun and enjoy every moment, AND still feel good in your body. β€οΈ So I'm wondering- how are you feeling about holiday parties (and all that food!) this year? Nervous, or excited? Seriously- please reply and let me know, I really want to hear from you! If I can help you find more peace and joy over the holidays, it would mean the world to me. I love you! Tracy π€ |

Hi there Reader! "Satisfying... rustic... filling... reminds me of one of those old-fashioned donuts... crunchy bits on top... and I'm not hungry 30 minutes after I eat them." That's what my husband, Darrell, said when I asked WHY he likes these blueberry muffins so much. (Whenever I ask what he wants me to bake, it's almost always these... unless it's banana bread. π) The official hubby review! We often feel like we have to choose between food that really fuels us and food that tastes good....
Do you love Hallmark movies this time of year? The snow, the outdoor seating area, the ice skating rink, the fireplace, and, of course, tray after tray of perfect Christmas cookies and holiday treats. Mom and daughter are laughing (and eating cookies), and the handsome stranger is standing by (also eating cookies, of course). π In real life, the holidays usually aren't this relaxing. π€£ But over the years, I've learned a weird, counterintuitive secret to staying more relaxed and making the...
Well, if you've been around a while, you know... it's been a while! π€£ And I was so nervous to send another "I'm back" email... that I almost backed out! Where have I been? WHAT has been happening?!? Oh boy... buckle up! π First, we moved. Then my son got engaged! π Then we moved again. Then we started to move AGAIN... but headed to another state instead, to help family through some urgent health stuff. THEN we moved back to Wisconsin. And NOW my son is getting married next month! π OH and...
