As a Mama to two year old twins and a newborn life is nothing but hectic. No looking back, I am on a journey to reclaim my health and my pre-baby body by counting calories, making meals my kids will eat, and exercising with my small children. I will document what I eat, show you how I count calories, new food finds, along with my favorite apps and recipes.

Flour Less Chocolate cookies
I made these a few weeks ago and all I can say is OMG! These are 72 calories each and so rich and amazing. I cannot wait to try them again. I am a fruit and chocolate girl, next time I plan to puree some raspberries to top one of these. You will NOT be disappointed when you try these!

Buffalo Cauliflower
Tried this around super bowl as a healthy alternative to buffalo wings. Any excuse for Frank's Red Hot sauce. These were yummy and I would for sure make again. Calorie count for this came out to around 150 calories for 1 cup.
