Breakfast cookies

Cookies for breakfast?! Yes please!! Remember Sunday I posted my breakfast casserole that I brought to church, these are the breakfast cookies - honestly I didn't even get to try them because they were all eaten before I had chance which is usually once we get back home.

What makes a breakfast cookie you ask? I'm not really sure 😁 but these qualify because they have oats (you know like oatmeal!) in them. So I think that makes them acceptable for breakfast! I'm sure I'll need to make them for my kids after they've seen this picture!

Recipe:

1 cup natural peanut butter (although probably 1/8 was almond butter)
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp oats
2 tbsp honey
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate, but you can do a mix of peanut and chocolate chips, raisins, cessions, peanuts, etc)

Preheat oven to 350.

In medium sized bowl mix together peanut butter, honey and brown sugar. (Don't heat anything)
Add in oats, salt, baking soda, vanilla. Stir well
In separate bowl lightly beat egg and then add to mixture.
Stir in desired add ins (chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter chips, raisins, etc)
Mixture should be thick. Stir until combined.
Use a cookie scoop or roll into a ball and place on cookie sheet.
Bake 7 minutes then flatten tops with flat surface (glass or bottom of measuring cup) bake 2 more minutes.
Allow to cool on cookie sheet as they will be soft and needing to finish baking.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

I love chicken nuggets!! When I used to go to McDonalds it was what I got probably 75% of the time! They are just amazing. And the sweet and sour dipping sauce...oh so good! 😋 But now that I don't eat at McDonalds anymore, I have to make them at home. There are so many you can buy at the store - quick and easy to throw in the oven and they have all kinds of different shapes - dinosaurs, stars, hearts, probably whatever you wanted! But who knows what the heck is in those store bought ones....so I had to find a recipe that I could make at home. I have come across many that I like but I always wanted them to be crispy and not soggy when I make them in the oven. It has taken some time, but I think I have found the right combination!! YES!! So here we go. I hope you all enjoy them as much as we do! You will need: 4 chicken breasts 1 cup pickle juice (yes really) 1 cup flour paprika pepper 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs Directions: Cut up chicken into your d

Chocolate protein bars

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I have adapted to fit our families needs and make on a weekly basis. It provides protein and carbs to keep you full and satisfied for the morning! Our kids literally have this breakfast every day and if I don't have them made, the kids are quite upset. They call them chocolate bars but that's very deceiving because there's not really much chocolate in it! These take 10 minutes max to make and then time in the fridge to set. 1+ cup natural peanut butter (I like Skippy) 1 cup local honey (for allergy sakes!) 1 1/3 cup oatmeal 3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain) 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (if you don't have this, just do 5 scoops of protein powder) Then I dump in some flax seeds and chia seeds - not measured Heat peanut butter and honey on stove together. Add in your other ingredients and mix well Spread in a container (I use a 9x13 Pyrex). Place in fridge overnight or freezer for an hou

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology! It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough. And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more. I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down. I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is! The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dried)
