For Valentine's Day, I made some chocolate covered strawberries with Once Again Amore Almond Spread. I love to have date nights at home. My husband and I don't eat out much anymore since we never know what to get when we go out plus we are trying to save money to pay off debt. So with that said, date nights at home are key. But honestly my new FAVORITE thing that I have made with Once Again Amore Almond Spread is these No Guilt Hazelnut Energy Bites!

I have never tried a hazelnut spread before. I know crazy, right? It is a thing that people have been going crazy over online, but I just never got on the hype. I recently had the opportunity to try out Once Again Nut Butter's Amore Hazelnut Spread. I was so excited to finally try hazelnut spread from a brand that I love.



I am in a Shelf Challenge right now. And basically the idea is to cut your grocery bill by being super creative and using up the items found in your pantry then save the savings. I have a ton of pancake and waffle box mixes for some reason. I have made a bunch of batches and frozen them, we have had breakfast dinner more times than I can count, but my favorite thing to do with pancake box mix batter is to make muffins for the kids. You can add anything you like: honey, fruit, sprinkles, etc. But this time I added Once Again Nut Butter Amore Hazelnut Spread.

Smoothies are a great way to start your morning because they are so easy to make plus you can store your dry ingredients in the freezer. You can prep your ingredients for the week and store them in the freezer. When you are ready to make your smoothie, just add everything to the blender with your liquid and you are good to go! My New Year Resolution was to eat at home more and making my own smoothies at home helps me not pay for something on-the-go. So today I'm sharing some yummy smoothies recipes, most the are vegan and gluten free!
