Pinterest Greek yogurt mini cheesecakes


What is Greek yogurt? Click Here to find out more.

We love Oikos plain Greek yogurt, it's a staple in our house. It's a great pair with granola, fruit, smoothies, substitutions {sour cream, mayo, etc}, dips and etc. Tom and I don't eat a lot of sweets really, but I wanted to give these mini treats a try. 

The ingredients are simple: Graham crackers, sugar free/fat free cheesecake pudding mix, Almond milk {I used soy}, Oikos Greek yogurt and that's it, awesome, huh?!?! You can add fresh or like we did frozen mixed berries on top and the blogger drizzled a little sugar free maple syrup for a little extra flavoring, yum! 

After 30 minutes we took them out of the freezer and gave them a try. They were fantastic, light and flavorful. Only downfall, they needed to be left in the freezer for at least a hour, they thawed pretty quickly. These are perfect little treats for Holiday parties and really healthy too!

Pinterest Healthy Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal {Review}





Second day of Fall and it feels amazing outside. This morning I wanted to kick-off the season trying out one pinners ''Pumpkin spice oatmeal'' recipe. I am obsessed with all things pumpkin, especially pumpkin recipes.

This pinner is a vegan {which I am not} her recipe is very simple and quick to make. Unfortunately I didn't have two of the items: Almond milk & Walnuts. I love Almond milk and know it would bring extra flavor to the oatmeal. Walnuts, I am not a fan of them and if I had anything to substitute them I would have put raisins or cranberries on top. Instead I drizzled a  little honey and 1/2tsp brown sugar, it tasted great and definitely a new favorite Fall breakfast recipe!
