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.

Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊 I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself! No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Dem...

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 ...

So excited!!

Hey Happy Friday!!  Friday's are my absolute favorite weekday because I only have to work until 12ish!!  I get to come home and do whatever I want until I go get the kids from school!  It's amazing!!  Most of the time I go to the grocery store, clean, workout or chat with some friends - but it's my choice and I can do whatever I want! :) Yesterday I finished my latest workout program - 21 day fix extreme from Beachbody - heard of it? It is a fantastic workout because it has 7 different workouts to do weekly and it teaches you how to eat proper portions for your weight and activity level!  I love it and can see a lot of results from it when I am eating like I should...um, not this time....I just have a huge sweet tooth and sometimes it gets the best of me!  But I am learning to control it and have made huge strides from when I started 3 years ago!!  November 2013   October 2016 (silly cat!) I am going to keep going with 21 DFX un...
