Creamy Avocado Hummus

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Protein Oatmeal

January 24, 2018 by Christina

Happy National Peanut Butter Day! If I had to choose only one favorite food combination, I think it would have to be chocolate and peanut butter.

In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, I thought it would be fun to share the simple nacho recipe/meal idea that I make for myself (and my family members) regularly!  To make a more nutritious variation of the classic, you may choose to use whole grain tortilla chips, and add fresh salsa, satiating beans, and, of…
