Soooo...how was your Valentine's weekend?! I hope it was filled with lots of chocolate and things that aren't good for you! Ours was good, Saturday during the day we were both kind of busy, but we did manage to sneak in dinner together on Saturday night. And Sunday we ate waffles, took naps, and then filled our bellies with pasta before calling it a night. I know what you are thinking...we are pretty wild and crazy right? It was kind of my perfect weekend, I have to say. But now Monday is here and it's time to be healthy and productive and all that other grown up stuff. Luckily I have a big batch of my almond granola made up so my breakfasts will be a no brainer and that's just one less thing I have to worry about during the week!

I can't tell you how obsessed I am with this granola lately. First let me state that I am almond crazed. I love anything with almond flavoring in it.

Skinny Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins: My Diary of Us

Let's be honest here. If you saw my Instagram feed from the weekend, you know I could really use a skinny muffin in my life. I made cookies, my brother came over and cooked delicious ribs, I made ice cream sandwiches, and then topped it off with a decadent French toast casserole yesterday morning. Let's not count the calories, let's just get back on track this week. Monday's allow for fresh starts and I'm on board with that when they include yummy, skinny banana dark chocolate chip muffins.

These muffins actually aren't my recipe, they are from Ambitious Kitchen. I saw them last week and decided to give them a go. I am sharing them with you because I think you deserve to know that there is this delicious and healthy muffin waiting to be made to start your day off right! And you know what? They would be fantastic as a healthy afternoon pick me up...
