Blackberry Crisp

I can’t wait to start bombarding you all with fall recipes, but I thought I’d give a few more summer recipes before that.  I’m trying really hard to hold off on everything fall related, but it’s been hard with the cooler weather and school starting.  Plus, Bath & Bodyworks just got its fall collection in and I’m a huge sucker for candles.  

Anyway, summer recipe: blackberry crisp.  I loove crisps.  They’re my favorite…and this one is basically healthy enough to eat for breakfast. I mean, I wouldn’t do it every day, but I also wouldn’t judge you if you did. 😉

Healthy No-Bake Cookies

I love no-bake cookies, but, they’re not exactly healthy…duh.  But, the ingredients are so easy to substitute with healthy ones, I’m not sure why I’ve never done it before!

These turned out really well, I just suggest keeping them in the refrigerator so they stay hard.  The coconut oil softens at room temperature.  I also suggest eating these with milk. 😉
