Honey Glazed Coconut Almonds

Eating healthy and having an extreme sweet tooth is a challenge!  I can easily fall prey to revel bars, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.  Eating healthy is especially important right now as I’m participating in the Live Healthy Iowa 10-Week Challenge with a team of other Iowa Bloggers (check out more here)!

The Recipe

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal – A Healthy Breakfast!

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal – A Healthy Breakfast!

Since starting on the #21DayFix a little over 21 days ago (read my thoughts about it HERE), I’m making a valiant effort to refine the way I eat all together (not just when I’m on the “Fix”).

21 Day Fix Approved Foods

I’m in the final week of my first 21 Day Fix and while I haven’t followed it to a T (due to family Christmas dinners), I’ve followed it exactly every other day of the week that those dinners don’t happen on and I’ve had fun “playing” with my food.  I found 3 21 Day Fix approved variations on foods that I thought were so great, I wanted to share them with you!  Even if you aren’t on the 21 Day Fix diet, these are great “whole foods” to feed your body and just plain delicious!!  Here are my 3 favorite current dishes!
