The maple syrup and peanut butter make it sweet enough to feel like a treat, but it’s also gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. And — it even has protein! I added collagen  to up the protein count a bit. Collagen has been really buzzy lately, and for good reason. First of all, it’s awesome just as a protein.

Being overweight, poor digestion, fatigue and joint pain are symptoms that I am very familiar with and are just part of the aging process……or at least that’s what I used to think. They certainly create major impediments to living an active lifestyle and enjoying life. I always loved competitive sports growing up especially

This post is sponsored by Godiva and SheKnows Media. I’m excited to tell you about the new line of chocolates from Godiva called Masterpieces  that I took to Bald Head Island to share with my family. This range has the most delicious trio of flavors and they made great favors on our dinner table. There are three flavors that come individually wrapped in the bag. The  Milk Chocolate Lion of Belgium is filled with creamy caramel – perfect for you caramel lovers. The Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oyster has a nutty hazelnut praline filling. And finally, the  Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart is my favorite – tried and true dark chocolate ganache! My grandmother (my mom’s mom) hosted Christmas for many years. Every season she had little favors at the table – a holiday popper, little candies, paper crowns, ornaments, and other trinkets that we cousins loved. Her surprise favors always turned a meal into a party. We loved the anticipation of peeking to see what was at our place setting follow
