Wednesday What Not #75

It is an understatement to say that the current forecast of 90 degrees and sunny has me ecstatic.  For the past few weeks, because of the unseasonable temperatures, I have battled chilled bones, runny noses and bouts of S.A.D.  As I prepare for welcomed beads of sweat, ocean filled breaths of air and increased Vitamin D supplies, I want to make sure that my skin is safe from the sun.  

Looking for safe, non-toxic options, this article published by Whole Foods helped my beach bag ready itself for the start of the sunny season!

Tasty Tuesday Treat #75

In this fast paced world, it is no surprise that quick, few ingredient recipes are all the rage!  As a victim of that lifestyle, I appreciate the plethora of ideas that circulate around 3 ingredient snacks and 5 ingredient dinners, especially when those recipes are as sweet as this weekend's whip up!

Having found myself with 5 extra minutes on Sunday, I decided to make mini cheesecakes - minimalist style!  I began by baking 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies that would act as the crust for each individual cake.  Once those cookies cooled, I placed them into cupcake liners, topped them with a 4 ingredient filling, and baked them for 20 minutes.  

As hard as it was, I let the mini cheesecakes set in the fridge for 3 additional hours before taking 3 tiny bites ;)
