Minnie & Mickey Mouse rainbow cookies added color to the treats table at my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party and dog bone cookies were the perfect way to include Pluto in the festivities. Both cookies were simple, festive additions to the dessert spread.

This dessert is simply my favorite Hawaiian breakfast in pound cake form. By substituting low-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, I can have my tropical cake and eat it, too!

These banana macadamia nut pancakes are yummy plain or with conventional pancake dressings but when drizzled with coconut syrup they will leave you dreaming of the land of aloha. Just one bite will transport you to the Hawaiian islands.

A little bit of this coconut syrup goes a long way. It is rich and sweet and will transport you to the islands in just one bite. I use the syrup for breakfast on banana macadamia nut pancakes and I also like to incorporate it into desserts.

When I recently made a Roasted Red Pepper & Manchego Salad {with roasted red peppers, roasted asparagus, cherry tomatoes and Manchego cheese} I discovered that the flavor combo also works well in a Spanish tortilla.

This white chocolate & dried cranberry oatmeal combination is another one of my homemade energy bar favorites and as with the other flavors, you won’t even notice that the healthy snack bars are full of wholesome goodness {whole wheat, wheat germ, oatmeal, flax seed and Greek yogurt!}.
