Coffee Cake Donuts {Balancing a Sweet Tooth with A Healthy Lifestyle}

I LOVE sweets guys! I have a massive sweet tooth.  I get it from my dad for sure.  I also love living a healthy lifestyle.  In an effort to balance the two I have decided that I will indulge in delicious sweets only when I bake them!

This works out great for me because I don't have the energy or time to bake until the weekend.  A few times a month I'll bake something and I feel absolutely no guilt enjoying what I bake.  Whatever is left over goes to work with my husband for his co-workers to enjoy.  They love me! ;)

 

This morning I went with vegan Coffee Cake Donuts.  So easy and so delicious!  Check out the recipe at Sweet Like Cocoa. 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

 

Life Is Sweet!

A Card, The File, and Vegan Cookies

 

Happy Friday! This summer is flying by too fast!  Today I wanted to share with you a card I made for the WPlus9 Blog a few weeks ago.  I used the new Southern Summer Florals 1 stamped in blue!

 

I used layers and layers of white cardstock.  I love the shadow from the 'love' die cut word.  If you'd like to read a little more about how I created this card visit the original post here.

 

 

Below you will see some of the projects that have been added to the Friday Inspiration File for this week.  Week #324! Check them out.  I don't always post them here on my blog, but I do have a weekly post on Instagram sharing what has been added to my Pinterest file if you want to follow along there.

Wish me luck! I have entered cookies into a competition at my husband's work.  I used a recipe from Beaming Baker.  Her Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.  I altered the recipe only slightly.  I omitted the shaved coconut and added a few more chocolate chips.  They're delicious!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
