Sweet Potato Protein Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Sauce

Does anything else scream "THANKSGIVING" like sweet potatoes?! You've got sweet potato pie, sweet potato casserole, baked sweet potatoes, glazed sweet potatoes....you get the picture. I usually make a pumpkin cheesecake for the big feast. However, I wanted to create a twist on my traditional cheesecake flavor. Then it dawned on me. Sweet potatoes! This cheesecake has an amazing texture...smooth and silky - and is topped with a salty and sweet salted caramel sauce. It's a match made in Thanksgiving heaven. It also doesn't hurt that the macros of this cheesecake are exponentially lower (except for the protein, which is higher) than the traditional pumpkin cheesecake. 

{No Bake} Gingerbread Protein Truffles

I'd like you to think of a chewy, sweet, and spiced gingerbread cookie - sounds scrumptious, right?! It's an instantaneous holiday memory booster! These gingerbread truffles are soft, perfectly sweetened, and deceivingly healthy, three things that I don't want you to miss out on. I really encourage you to  make this recipe for the holiday season - they're an ideal little treat for a party or a grab-and-go snack for your busy days! 

No Bake Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Oatmeal Cookies

Two bold flavors are used in this recipe, and you won't hear me complain about it! These rich, sweet, and decadent cookies not only pack on the yummy flavor but also deliver a guilt-free, easy to make cookie. And being that their no-bake, the prep time for these are cut in half. You'll, more than likely, eat these cookies very fast - good thing the recipe makes 26 cookies! 

Creamy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pies

Tis the season for pumpkin - all things pumpkin! My hope is you're not sick of it...yet. This is my last pumpkin recipe, so I wanted to end it with a bang. These creamy pumpkin pies are the perfect little size and are packed with pumpkin goodness, protein, and, of course, chocolate chips. This is a great recipe to prepare for a group of people since they're the perfect solo treat. I was thinking of making this for our Halloween party :) The recipe makes 12 so there will be plenty to go around!

Turkey Taco Salad

Tacos, burritos, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa etc. are foods I frequently crave. And when the craving hits, not much can tame it. It rears its ugly head, demanding it be cured ASAP.  I don't know about you, but my cravings are for foods that typically aren't considered "health foods" if you know what I mean. Thank goodness for taco salad! It has bold flavors that really speak to my craving, making my tummy so happy. Plus, it is absolutely healthier than your usual Mexican restaurant fare. I'd say that is a win-win situation right there!
