Hello Strangers! After an over two month break from blogging, I’m back and committed to regular blogging and blog-reading in case anyone out there still remembers me! Between starting a new job(which by the way is going awesome), the holidays and a computer in need of some major TLC, I just haven’t had the time to blog, read and comment. Okay, I have been reading many blogs..on my Kindle…on the bus. I’ve kind of been a lurker lately.
Anyways, back to regular blogging, recipes and some New Years fitness routines….and of course some shopping…I have a major addiction to online shopping and I need to share some of my awesome finds with everyone.
Questions for you:

Another easy bachelorette party treat!
Warning: I managed to turn my hands a little pink, so I’d strongly recommend wearing gloves!
3 packages of microwave popcorn
2 cups sugar
1/2 small box red Jell-O gelatin powder (I used watermelon)
1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking soda
Put the popped popcorn in a large bowl, carefully picking out any unpopped kernels.
In a medium saucepan (with room for the mixture to at least double in size), bring the sugar, Jell-O, water and butter to a boil. Once fully boiling cook for 4 minutes without stirring, swirling the bowl occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and soda. Pour over the popcorn and toss with tongs to coat completely. Spread out onto the baking sheets and bake, stirring once or twice, for an hour. Set aside to cool.

What else is there to do when you have have a surplus of peanut butter and protein powder? Continue to make more PB and protein creations of course!
Here’s an easy-to-make no-bake PB protein ball recipe. I think my favorite part about this recipe is that there is no need to turn on the oven, which is a huge plus when it is nearly 100 degrees outside! Eating a refrigerated treat is so much more enjoyable! I’m beginning to feel like I live in Florida and not Pennsylvania.
What You’ll Need:
(Note: I was aiming for a cookie dough taste, you can use any PB you’d like!)
What You Do:
1. Toss all of your ingredients into a bowl.
2. Mix all ingredients until mixture is even. Dough will be sticky.
3. Roll dough into small balls.
4. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to firm them up.
5. Enjoy!
Makes 6 protein balls…perfect for one or to share!
