Read MoreLow Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
I don’t believe in a life that doesn’t involve treats. But I have to be careful with my treats. I’m so sensitive to sugar and right now eggs and I aren’t friends.

Last week, my daughter brought me a picture of some oat bars and proclaimed she was going to make them for dessert.

It’s easy enough that my 8-year-old could “make it” (I helped a bit), it comes together fast, and is customizable and really yummy.

Read MoreHealthy Remake: No-Bake Cookies (Vegan, No Sugar)
But being the amazingly caring wife I am, I told my husband I’d make him ANYTHING he wanted for his birthday dessert. His answer: no bake cookies. I looked at him for a moment like he’d just kicked my childhood puppy. I knew my self control would get the better of me. I got out a smaller saucepan and made some dairy-free no-bake cookies at the same time. The success had me almost in tears. I licked the pan, I ate the cookies and I was even able to keep them all to myself because they all wanted Daddy’s cookies. It was pretty awesome.
