Watermelon is a refreshing treat on its own, but this Tomato and Watermelon salad is my favorite way to enjoy watermelon.
Not only is this salad super tasty and easy to make, the watermelon provides lots of nutrients and health benefits! Each bite of watermelon will help to hydrate you and is loaded with fiber and vitamins A and C. It’s also low in sugar and calories and can help to reduce cravings, weight and belly fat.

You will love my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls. They are an easy to make treat without the guilt. The recipe makes about 24-32 balls (depending on size). I made these on the bigger side. The only problem is, they are so delicious it’s hard to limit to just 2 (the actual serving size).. I just made a big batch of these to keep in the freezer for the week! I have a feeling they won’t last very long.

These stuffed peppers are so much fun and great for all ages. I am sharing a simple chicken, rice and beans recipe, but there are so many other ways to stuff them. Most recently, I used leftover pumpkin chili. A fun twist could even be spaghetti, steak and peppers or macaroni and cheese. These peppers are filled with brown rice, but you can substitute quinoa or any other healthy whole grain. Feel free to modify spices based on your taste. And don’t get fooled by the number of steps. It’s really simple…especially if you use a rotisserie chicken and packaged rice.
