Baked Apples

Sometimes your sweet tooth is aching, but you don’t feel like going through too much work to satisfy it. Baked apples are the perfect solution! To save time cooking time, dice an apple into small pieces, sprinkle on cinnamon and nutmeg, and bake for 10-15 minutes. It’s better than apple pie and much more simple.

Tahini

Tahini is a sesame paste that is used throughout the middle east but has made its way to most mainstream grocery stores. Tahini is so versatile and resembles peanut butter in many ways, which makes it a great substitute! What tahini has that peanut butter doesn’t is tons of protein and no added sugar. You can put it on toast or a banana, and you’ll be satiated in no time.
