Hi there! I’m Kristy from Sweet Treats and More. I’m also The Girl Who Ate Everything’s sister-in-law. Lucky me, right? I knew we were meant to be sister-in-laws the first time my husband and I visited Christy and her family in Florida. She put a big bowl of Peanut Butter M&M’s on the nightstand in…
Merry Mondays & Sugared Cranberries
I’m participating in the Christmas Blog Extravaganza, Merry Mondays, that the girls over at Claire Cooks and Greens and Chocolate are hosting. Go check it out! I had just bookmarked these Sugared Cranberries when I found out the first Merry Monday ingredient was Cranberries. Perfect! Or so I thought. I made the…
After the Calorie Blaster….
I was in and out of the gym this morning in 35 minutes. With a busy day in front of me, I needed it to be quick so it was perfect. In 22 minutes I burned 295 calories. Not bad. The workout went by fast and I didn’t hate the treadmill the entire time. I…

Fit Fridays
As much as I love my sweet treats, I like fitting into my jeans too. Enjoying both can be hard (especially during the Holidays). It requires portion control (working on that), healthy eating, and exercise. I eat my fare share of sweets, but I also look for “lighter” treats to make, and try to eat…
Marshmallow Swirled No Bake Cookies
My husband says no bake cookies are the “lower class citizens of cookies.” He thinks they are a cop-out cookie and that they look a lot like…..well, maybe I won’t mention that here. I happen to love them and make them anytime I need a quick treat. Oddly enough he always eats more than his…
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Ours was pretty laid back, and pretty cold. Thanksgiving morning we ran in our neighborhood Turkey Trot. 8:30am in 10 degree weather. We froze our butts off. We spent the rest of the day at my husband’s Aunt and Uncle’s house with extended family. I…
Mini Banana Decadence Pies
These individual sized mini pies are the perfect ending to your Thanksgiving Feast! No need to bust out the stretchy pants or un-button that top button just to make room for an enormous piece of pie. These babies are the perfect size and give the satisfaction of Thanksgiving Pie we all long for! A…
A Simple Thanksgiving Side….Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I fear the day I have to host Thanksgiving dinner. I have no clue how to cook a turkey and I’m not sure I can handle all of the pressure. Luckily, the last few years we’ve always been assigned simple sides–right up my alley. This year will be no different. I’m still not sure what…
Jelly Roll Pancakes
Brett makes these Jelly Roll Pancakes for special occasion breakfasts at our house- a slow Saturday morning with no sports, Sunday breakfast before church, or for any of our kids birthdays (it’s always their request!) They are a Denney family favorite that my mother-in-law makes for us every time we visit too (usually around…
Healthier Cinnamon Crunch Sweet Potato Muffins
I think I could eat sweet potatoes in any way, shape or form….even in a muffin. The combination of the sweet potatoes and applesauce in these made for a really, really moist muffin, and the cinnamon-sugar topping adds the perfect touch of sweetness and crunch. Nothing better than a warm…
Creamy Bacon Carbonara
I could eat this pasta every night. It is dee-lish. I saved myself a little bit of fat content by using half-and-half and turkey bacon rather than heavy cream and real bacon. It was still creamy but I can only imagine what heavy cream and the crisp texture of real bacon would do for it….
