So what I have done is taken that pancake batter add some dried fruit (I prefer cranberries) pop in the oven and BAM! Muffins!!! They are easy grab n go as a snack or breakfast! Try out the recipe, tell me what you think! :)

My Favorite Healthy(er) Snacks!

I eat every 2-3 hours and I TRY to eat healthier at all times! Now, I'm not a nutritionist, nor am I saying that these snacks are fat free, calorie free, sugar free, sodium free, etc.... Because then I would be eating air!

Here are some of my tasty healthy(er) snacks!

1) Cinnamon Apple: take a Granny Smith apple, cut it up, sprinkle water on it, followed by sprinkled cinnamon. Pop in oven on 300 degrees for about 5 min!

2) Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, add your fave fruit (love blueberries), add slivered almonds, sprinkled with cinnamon!

3) Rice cakes: 90-100 cal per cake, take a plain rice cake and spread natural peanut butter like pb2 OR I love the Carmel flavored rice cakes (only 100 cal).

4) Shakeology: you can make any tasty treat with Shakeology depending what flavor! With strawberry or greenberry flavor I love smoothies; blend shakeo, plus 1/2 banana, 3 cut strawberries with water and ice! Or make. Chocolate almond shake with 1 scoop of chocolate shake o, 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk, 1/2 banana, handful of almonds, water, Ice And blend!!

Again these are some of my fave! If you try them of have a few of your own! Comment below, I'd love to hear from you!

Marky Mark

Ok, so I have been obsessed with the Wahlbergs since I was in diapers! Crushin' on Donny Wahlberg during his NKOTB days and then later for Mark during his pants dropping, criminal record, "Good Vibration" days. I can honestly say that 22 years later and Mr. Mark Wahlberg is still FINE AS CAN BE! He's like fine wine & gets better with age.

What are his secrets? Well clearly he takes care of himself, and does a great job doing so!

Eating clean doesn't have to suck!

I hate the word DIET! Diets are usually fads. Successful at first, but then you miss eating the foods you love so you regress and go in junk food overload to make up for loss time! Never good- so stay away from the dieting!

Try to making healthier choices when eating the foods you love! I found I have not had to deprive myself of anything I love, just learn to make them with healthier ingredients!

Like these pancakes for instances: soooo yummy and made healthier:

3/4 cup of Oates
1/2 banana
2 eggs
1tsp of vanilla
1tbsp of brown sugar
Blend into liquid, heat pan, and cook!!

I don't use syrup I use tsp of brown sugar, 1 tbsp of honey with a squirt of water, melt together in microwave and drizzle over pancakes! Add fresh fruit and enjoy!!!

Try it and email me your thoughts ashleymstansfield@yahoo.com

Scarves

So I woke up to attend church today. Feeling tired and lazy I wanted to put little effort into today's outfit so I stuck with the #sockbun updo, paired with pearls, black BCBG Max Azria VKE dress and leggings but accessorize with this amazing navy, black and white printed scarf (which is also BCBG Max Azria)

You can take any outfit and jazz it up with a scarf to completely wardrobe your outfit!
