When I was younger, I had the hugest sweet tooth. No joke, in high school I would eat Oreo cookies covered in chocolate frosting and wash it down with kool-aid. Like most people I know, my tastes have changed as I’ve grown older and healthier. Now I would much rather have a nice dark chocolate or glass of wine most nights. Sometimes I think we all want to break the rules and have a little treat though. Let’s talk about the ultimate guilty pleasure – cookie dough! I still love a nice glob of gooey cookie dough. We all do, right? Keep reading for a decadent protein cookie dough dupe that won’t send you crying to the gym.

Healthy Homemade Apple Chips
Apple chips are a favorite healthy snack in our family. Every fall we go to an orchard and pick a bushel of apples and we make pie and apple chips out of them. We even went this past year when we had a one month old baby! It was a nice outing…but I’m not sure that we would do that again. That’s a story that I don’t need to get into now. 🙂 Anyway, apple chips are great. They are a healthy treat to replace either sweets or your crunchy snacks. They are also so simple to make. I know that some people add sugar to theirs, but I really don’t think that the apples need it.
