Eating healthy is hard. Temptations are literally everywhere and every time you say you're going to start eating right, two days into it you give up. Not only is eating healthy hard, but it's super boring. Sorry, I don't want a salad for every meal, and yes I want cheese, lots and lots of cheese. Honestly, if I could survive on carbs and coffee, I would. However, there are some alternatives for everyday foods that taste pretty good! Here are a couple recipes that anyone can make!

1. Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Yes, you can in fact substitute the crust of pizza for cauliflower, and it tastes pretty good too! Replacing the flower with cauliflower reduces the carbs that you'd be eating, and its gluten free! Plus this recipe is loaded with protein. Find the recipe here! http://www.hungry-girl.com/recipe-makeovers/show/healthy-cauliflower-crust-pizza-recipe

2. Baked Donuts

I think I love donuts more than I love life. The only problem is that I would never allow myself to eat them because they're literally the worst food you can eat. However, some creative genius answered my prayers and came up with this magical recipe: baked donuts. There are multiple recipes and flavors to choose from, ranging as low as 191 calories. Find the recipe here! http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20418786,00.html

3. Ice Cream



I have done an entire article on this stuff before and ill continue to live by it. 240 calories per pint, 60 calories per serving and it tastes like heaven. Packed with protein and less than half the sugars of other brands, you need to try this stuff for yourself. It's available in stores and for more information, find their website here! http://www.halotop.com

4. Chips


I've eaten family sized bags of chips in one sitting while watching T.V. too many times to count. They're addicting and you cannot just have one. They aren't very filling so you can just keep eating them. There are tons of healthy alternatives for regular potato chips such as sweet potato chips, whole wheat tortilla chips, apple chips, banana chips and more. For other options and recipes, click here! http://greatist.com/health/healthy-chip-alternatives

5. Pancakes


Two ingredient banana pancakes. Yes, I said two ingredients. I don't think it gets much easier than this. Literally two eggs and a banana, then you're good to go! You get four to five pancakes for under 300 calories, and it takes around 10 minutes to make. If you don't believe me, click here for the recipe! http://www.food.com/recipe/2-ingredients-eggs-banana-pancakes-501408Yo

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
