Foodie Spotlight: Feeding My Addiciton

I’ve just been looking through the recipes on Feeding My Addiction and seriously, I now have 18 tabs open that contain recipes that I think I could put into this blog post. Is that an acceptable amount of links to put in one post? Miiiight have to work on narrowing it down a bit huh?  Summer makes desserts. And sweet stuff. And lots of it! BUT, she creates healthier versions of your usual sweet treats… So you can eat as much as you want! Kind of. Not really. Use common sense :D 

I’ve been following Summer for on Instagram for a while now, but Jamie posted one of her photos on Facebook last week and I thought it was about time we gave her a feature! A good place to start is probably the photo we featured: Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Squares. If you follow us on Facebook you might recognise it, but check out the recipe; There’s nothing *really* bad for you in there! While you’re at it, go ahead and make these Breakfast Protein Cookies.

Next in my tabs are three cakes. OK, I’ve chosen two. I could narrow it down to one, but then again I can’t. How do you choose between Cinnamon Roll Cake (awesome idea) and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Protein Cake? HOW? If you can, then you’re a better person than me, because both of them look awesome.

So I have a confession. 8 of my chosen recipes are doughnuts and cupcakes. So here are my favourite 2 4 doughnuts and cupcakes: Gluten Free Chocolate Protein Donuts Baked Birthday Cake Donuts Marshmallow Fluff Birthday Cupcakes Rainbow Magic Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream AND finally. Let’s talk about sugar cookies. Summer started baking sugar cookies in December 2013. This is what they looked like (not a bad effort!):

And this is what they look like now:

If that’s not inspiration for improving your cooking skills I don’t know what is! Summer wrote a couple of awesome posts (pt.1 & pt.2) on tricks and techniques for great sugar cookies. When you visit Feeding My Addiction (if you haven’t already) have a read!  

Our favourite recipe: This looks like an awesome post-workout treat - Simple Chocolate Protein Soft-Serve. Top reason to follow Summer: Loads of sweet treats with a healthy twist. Other stuff to check out: This was another Instagram discovery!
