 This Chocolate Coconut Bark is my new favorite holiday treat. It is a simple yet delicious option to make especially when you are short on time. I usually have all of the ingredients in the house already. But when I don’t I can quickly run into Dollar General to pick up what I need to get the job done. It is also so much faster than trying to go into one of the big box stores. 

 

Dollar General also has some great digital coupons for your holiday needs. Click below to get some great deals!

Natural Chow is all about nourishing recipes that make living healthier. If you’re conscious about the food that you consume or interested to know more about how much exercise you need to burn off the extra calories, this is an app that may interest you.

Fluffy whole grain pancakes loaded with chocolate chips and packed with protein for a delicious and healthy breakfast, ready in less than 30 minutes!

I used to hit snooze 5 times a morning before finally dragging myself out of bed and into the kitchen to start a cup of coffee. 

But lately a certain four year old insists on waking up at the crack of dawn, shaking me until I get up and make him something to eat. Usually pancakes. 

He never requests any specific kind of pancake—he’d be content with just plain pancakes—but if I’m gonna wake up that early and eat pancakes 4 times a week, I have to change it up from time to time. Since the little guy usually runs around all day fueled by his wild imagination, I wanted to make sure he started his day with lots of protein. And these whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip protein pancakes (geez that’s a mouthful) get the job done.
