I have decided to run another Half Marathon. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
Running is so addictive. It makes me feel awesome and gives you a natural rush. But I’ve run my whole life; I don’t know anything else.
Racing is addictive. Once you race, you want to race again to see if you can do a personal best (or PR, a personal record). If you don’t do better, you have to try again because, well, you can’t stop when you do worse!! See how this goes?
But I do eat better when I’m training for a run. I’m more conscious of eating good, quality food with all the nutrients I need to power a run. As I’ve repeatedly stated on the blog, I have a sweet tooth. I love desserts, but I’m trying to get healthier desserts.
Skinny Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
Greek yogurt is wonderful, and I have been incorporating it into more and more dishes. I now substitute Greek yogurt for everything that I previously used sour cream in. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, and it’s creamier and tangier. I get non-fat, plain Greek yogurt and add it to all kinds of recipes.

Cooking Tips
- For this Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake I like to use Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor and texture. If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well to avoid extra moisture. If using frozen peaches, thaw them before mixing into the cheesecake.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the Greek yogurt and eggs are at room temperature. This helps them mix more smoothly and results in a creamier texture.
- Avoid Overmixing: When mixing the cheesecake batter, mix just until combined. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks on the surface.
- Baking: Bake the cheesecake until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The residual heat will finish cooking it without overbaking.
- Cool Gradually: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open. This helps prevent cracks by cooling it gradually.
