HEALTHY HOLIDAY COOKIE ROUND-UP!
***YUMMM….DON’T THESE LOOK YUMMY?***
I’M GOING TO TRY SOME OF THESE HEALTHIER, HOLIDAY COOKIE RECIPES.
REBLOGGED FROM: SIFT, STIR & SAVOR. THANKS FOR SHARING!
HAPPY BAKING! :<)
Last year I was obsessed with eggnog. This year I’m obsessed with cookies.
So when I was asked to be a part of a healthy christmas cookie round-up that Sandra from Candida Diet Plan was organizing, I was pretty excited! Sandra was able to organize 18 different bloggers, which means there are 18 scrumptious cookies to drool over. And these aren’t just any cookies, these are healthy cookies- virtually all of the recipes are gluten-free and loads of them are also grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free and vegan. So, what are you waiting for? Here are the links to all of the cookies:
Sugar-Free Sugar Cookies (Candida Free Candee)
Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies (Tessa the Domestic Diva)
Macadamia Coconut Cookies (Candida Diet Plan)
No-Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies (Gluten-Free Cat)
Jungle Balls (Carrie on Vegan)
Raw Gingerbread Men (Om Nom Ally)
Chocolate Orange Gogi Cookies (Coconut and Berries)

Another Green Wonder: Parsley!
After recently finding out about the many health benefits of adding cilantro to smoothies, which I posted about here, I decided to check out another commonly-used herb: parsley.
Turns out, parsley is another nutrient-packed herb, that shouldn’t be considered just as a garnish or to “pretty-up” a bowl of soup. 😉
You can read one of many online articles about the health benefits of parsley at Chatelaine.com. This article also includes a smoothie recipe that’s suppose to be great for reducing bloating and water retention.
I’m going to give parsley a whirl in a smoothie soon.
Let me know if you try it too! Or if you have already. 😉

Another Jane Fonda Prime Time DVD Review
I’ve been a fan of many of the Jane Fonda exercise DVDs and for a lot of years.
But recently, I tried out the: Prime Time Firm & Burn DVD and I wasn’t pleased with it.
You can read my full review here. I’ve also included links to two other previous Prime Time exercise reviews in the post. Those I really enjoy and use on a regular basis.

That reminds me, it’s long overdue, make that prime time to get off my a… and get the blood circulating! 😉 Those keyboard breaks are SO important, aren’t they?
A Happy and Healthy Week to All! 🙂
