I’m extra happy to see Friday because that means we’re getting through this longest month of the year faster. With all the boys back at school, life feels somewhat more subdued, but I miss them so much and I’m in that after holiday slump. We cannot let these January blues get us down, so let’s get right to some Friday Favorites.
Not only are the holidays magical but they’re so joyous when I can have all my boys at home and really enjoy the time together. We taught them how to play rummy, had movie days, fun dinners out and lots of family time. It was great!
Easiest no carb snack in the world! Get the ultra thin cheese slices, any flavor, I used Colby Jack, cut them into fours and place them on parchment paper lined baking sheet. I add a little coarse sea salt on top. Bake in a 250° oven for 25 to 30 minutes and wa-la, you have homemade cheez it’s crackers with no carbs!

4. Blue and Black
If January gives you the blues, just wear a bright blue color to lift your spirits! I totally love the bright royal blue. I feel it flatters every skin tone. In the summer, I like to pair it with white, but I thought it would be fun to pair it with black in the winter. I’ve seen lots of black and blue outfits and I love them. I also love adding a little leopard.

QUEST BARS
So, I am not a big bar girl. I feel like they are loaded with junk and empty calories even though they are supposed to be healthy. However, there are a few out there that I like when I need a protein pick me up And I don’t want to feel too guilty for indulging. My niece and I got to talking about protein bars and she recommended this chocolate sprinkle doughnut one. She said to heat it up in the microwave a tiny bit and it will be like dessert. It was super yummy, and I will be stocking up on these. I also tried a Pure Protein Chocolate Salted Caramel that Lisa recommended and think I may even like that one better.
