Double Chocolate (Greek Yogurt) Muffins

Recently, I was lucky enough to score a free 32 oz container of Chobani Greek Yogurt. How you might ask? Well I belong to a wonderful website called BzzAgent; basically you take surveys and based on the responses you give you get matched up to receive free products to try out and review. Its super fun and I have been very luck enough to get some pretty awesome stuff!


Anyway, I'm not much of a yogurt eater and I didn't want this huge tub of Chobani to go to waste, so I was looking on Pinterest and I found some interesting recipes using Greek yogurt. My favorite one I found was Double Chocolate Greek Yogurt Muffins. I have to admit they were delicious and a much healthy option to a dessert. A must try for anyone with a sweet tooth or just looking to try something new!



Ingredients


  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1/2 Cup unsweetened coco powder
  • 1 Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Egg
  • 6 oz of Greek yogurt (I used Chobani 0% Plain) 
  • 1/2 Cup of milk
  • 1/2 unsweetened applesauce 
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla
Directions

Preheat oven to 400 Degrees

Grease up a muffin tin and set aside for later. 

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, coca powder and baking soda. Mix in the chocolate chips and set aside. 

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together egg, Greek yogurt, milk applesauce and vanilla. Slowly transfer this mixture into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix, the batter will start to become very thick. 

Portion out the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake in the oven for 20 mins. (To make sure they are done, insert a toothpick in the center and when it comes out clean, they are done!)



I even got my husband to try these and he loved them! Who would have thought you can enjoy a desert made from yogurt and applesauce? Please let me know if you try out this recipe or if you have some healthy dessert recipes of your own!

Chop It OFF!

I've been struggling with cutting my hair for a while now, but you know it's time for a change when you wear your hair in a pony almost daily. 
My inspiration for the cut was this picture I randomly found on Pinterest and now I'm obsessed with this girl! Go follow Jessica  on Instagram if you love beauty/hair as much as I do! 
I kept it safe by going shoulder length & by doing so I was able to keep my ombre. I think the cut came out very similar to the picture, now its all about how I style it.  

I think this cut will be so easy to style for summer; the best part is it can be worn so many different ways! I'm sad to see my long hair go, but happy about cutting my blow dry and style time in half!

Two Years & Counting

Two years ago today, I walked down the aisle to my husband! I can't believe it's already been two years; where does the time go?! 
I look back on my life before I met Nathan and wonder how I ever could have lived without him. He's everything I could have imagined and wanted in a husband/best friend. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh or kiss me goodnight; those little things mean the most! 
I have to admit, I have been blessed with a life that in my eyes is perfect! I have loving parents, who have always supported me. Wonderful family and friends, a great job that I enjoy coming to everyday. And now I have that fairy tale husband that I have always wanted. Someone who cherishes me and tells me he loves me everyday! He may have not rode in on a white horse, wearing a suit of armor, but he rode in on a Pontiac Aztek wearing gym shorts and concert tee and stole my heart from the moment we met! 
I'm so lucky to call him my husband. I look forward to the next 100 years of our life together and I'm so excited to see what our future holds for us. 
Kisses, 
The Little Lady
