Breakfast Cookies!!
These little gems are a combination of different ideas I pulled from various blogs and created something that he and I could grab and eat on the run, and still maintain a healthy meal. These babies pack about 20g of protein apiece, taste great, hold you over for a long time, and are great to grab on the go, which we are always in need of. The great thing about these is that they are quick, fairly cheap, easy to make, and it's super easy to make variations because they're really hard to screw up. :-)
To make about 5 cookies:
* 1 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, doesn't matter)
* 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
* 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
* dash of cinnamon
* handful of raisins or craisins to taste
Put that in a large bowl and stir in about 1/3 cup of milk. Adjust portions however you want, but it should have about the consistency of thick cookie dough at the end. I like to use organic peanut butter or even almond butter, and in these particular ones, Muscle Man threw in craisins, crushed almonds, and chia seeds on top. Also, if I'm in the mood for something sweeter or will be sharing this with kids, I'll substitute a little Nesquick chocolate milk powder. Once you mix it thoroughly in a bowl (spoon, hands, doesn't matter.. :-) just spoon onto a plate in cookie form and stick it in the freezer overnight to harden. (PS- might want to put something on the plate so they do not stick... Maybe just a short spray of non-stick spray just to make it easier to get them off the plate)
This recipe is as healthy as you want to make it. Get better quality ingredients (i.e. organic, raw, as simple an ingredient list as possible on each item, etc), and the healthier it will be. Plus I found out the chia seeds on top are a great addition! :-)
Moving on...
Found this sign in a doctor's office, and felt it fits this blog SO well!
This is the whole concept behind my blog. Make the most of every little decision, opportunity and moment, because that is how we live a bigger life. That is how we are able to look back when we are 80 and smile.
Now it's time for... Holiday Randomness!!
I'm thankful for festive sweaters and scarves... Apparently it counters my dislike of blurry phone pictures. Ha
Creepy stalker snowman... Don't you have one?
This is what we call in Arkansas, a redneck Christmas... Merry Christmas ya'll!
This next one is a little dirty-sailor-ish in nature, but I still thought it was funny. Don't judge, I won't make a habit of bad language, but had to share!
No words needed. Ha!
And last but not least, this gem...
A married couple had been out shopping at the mall for most of the afternoon, suddenly, the wife realized that her husband had "disappeared".
The somewhat irate spouse called her mate’s cell phone and demanded: Where the hell are you?
Husband: Darling you remember that Jewelry shop where you saw the Diamond Necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn't
have money that time and said Baby it'll be yours one day.
Wife, with a smile blushing: Yes, I remember that my Love.
Husband: Well, I'm in the bar next to that shop.

If I don't post before Christmas, then let me just say...
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and God Bless!!
