{cadbury protein balls}

The other day I heard someone say “what’s a Cadbury mini egg?”  Like WTF?  Are you even living?  If you’re one of those odd ducks that don’t know – you are missing out. It’s a delicious egg-shaped chocolate that’s coated in a colorful candy shell. Sadly, they are only available during Easter season, so it’s necessary to eat as many as you can while you can!

So, let’s add some protein powder and call them “healthy” k?

{coffee cake cookies}

Bay saw a TikTok of a girl making these the other day. We watched the video + gathered all the ingredients and piece-milled the recipe. You guys – these are quite possibly the best cookies I’ve ever had. I know, I know – I’ve probably said that before. But, you gotta trust me on this one.

The recipe – intense. The outcome – worth it! The dough – dangerous.

Bay made me a batch to take to the Omega Nu Bunco tonight, so if you’re there, be sure to grab one and let me know what you think!!
