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.

Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227). It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one! I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strength...

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!! I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!!  For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though. I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!! Ingredients 1½ pounds ground beef/turkey ...
