Baked Cranberry Brie

I made this Baked Cranberry Brie the first time for a little impromptu wine party I had with a few of my girlfriends… I found it on Pinterest! (I LOVE PINTEREST!)

It was so easy to make and everyone absolutely loved it! I’ve made it twice for parties since then. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser!

Toasting the pecans

The maple glaze

MMMMMMM!

The finished product! It would also be really good with a baguette or pita chips!

Paula Deen’s Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

I started making Paula Deen’s Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake… gosh, it had to be over 5 years ago. I found the recipe on the Food Network site and everyone has been raving over it and requesting it ever since.
This cake is NOT healthy, by any means, but it’s well worth the splurge!

Sorry, TOTALLY spaced on taking a pic of the end product with Cool Whip before inhaling it!

A little about me...

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.

I basically started the blog to keep myself accountable and motivated to stay healthy while living a crazy/busy life as a mommy and wife who works fulltime.

I have always loved eating healthy and staying fit. After I had my daughter in October 2010, fitness sort of fell to the wayside. I still tried to workout when I could fit it in, but honestly, it's been a struggle for me to stay consistent.

Where did the name "Swimming in Sweats" come from you ask? It all comes down to my struggle with constistency with my workouts. A good friend of mine and I were talking about having trouble fitting our workouts into our busy lives and trying to get into the gym regularly. We joked that once summer rolled around we would have to swim in our sweatpants. So there you have it, that's where the name came from. Silly, yes, but I think it totally fits.

I would also like to add that I just ordered my study materials to become a National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified personal trainer! Follow my journey and please WISH ME LUCK =)

I hope you enjoy my blog, if anyone is actually out there reading it =)
