I am desperately trying to be healthier. An incredible surprise to me is that the exercise is easy part and its the eating thats kicking my trash. I have a major sweet tooth and it takes every single teeny tiny ounce of self control I have to not eat alllllllll the junk food in the world. And I know I could use moderation, but the problem with me is that if I have one cookie, I then somehow eat…way more than one.

But thats not the point of this post. The point of this post is that I found a decently healthy dinner recipe that I sort of winged, sort of copied from a pin on Pinterest – I also made it with the worlds cutest, neediest baby strapped to my chest!
