I Heart Cookies

Good morning all!  How are you guys doing today?  I’ll tell you what, I was super encouraged by Chelsea’s post this morning…I can’t wait for the day I look in the mirror and think I look amazing!  You go girl 🙂

Also, be sure to check out my sister’s new blog and send her some shout-outs of encouragement!  She’s been a huge inspiration for me (seriously, she’s gorgeous and in GREAT shape) and I’m so proud/excited about her blog 🙂

So, I have a confession:  last night Nate and I partook in the Taco Bell Drive-Thru Diet.  You read correctly – Drive Thru Diet.  We were in a huge hurry to get to our friend’s house, and Taco Bell was the only place we could think of on the way there.  Do I think you should try to lose weight on this diet?  Absolutely not.  But I do think it’s nice to have highly advertised healthier options at fast food places.  I had 2 steak soft tacos (tortilla, “steak”, lettuce, pico) and a bean burrito (tortilla, beans, pico).  It was OK.

THEN we got to our friend’s house where there was this fabulous dip and cookies with frosting!  The crack dip was cream cheese, a packet of ranch, and a can of pickled jalapenos (chopped) and their juice.  OMG.  It was awesome, but I think I might’ve found a way to make it better for you.  Except for the chips.  I won’t change those 🙂

Here is a shot of Nate holding one of my cookies (I had 2.5):

It was sooooooo good!  The cookies (made by a friend) were a box of cake mix, a stick of butter, and an egg.  The end.  ‘Twas delish!

We got home and basically climbed in bed immediately.  This morning, though, I had ANOTHER cookie:  Triple Chocolate Breakfast Cookie!!!!!

This is yet another one of my takes on the 3-Minute Cookie from Tina.  In the mix:  1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup egg substitute, 2 packets of Truvia, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1 packet of Amazing Grass chocolate stuff, 1 Tbsp milled flax, 1 Tbsp shredded coconute, 2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips, 1 Tbsp peanut butter (smeared on top).  Pre-PB stir it all up in a bowl and microwave for 1:45.  You’ll be in heaven.

But seriously, SO good.  And so rich!  Next time (i.e. tomorrow morning) I’ll probably make it smaller since it was so rich.  I never thought I’d eat a triple chocolate cookie for breakfast, but I’m glad I did today!

I’m thinking mid-morning I’m going to do some damage to (in Gina’s words) these bad johnnies:

We won’t have any internet tonight (sad) but it’s all good because come Friday we’ll finally be switched over the Direct TV and (hopefully) a better, more consistent internet!  Woohoo!!!!

What’s your favorite healthy treat?  Anything you’ve made up on your own?

    it’s pretty simple, but i like to just mix chopped fruit in with some low-fat, low-sugar yogurt and sprinkle granola on top for a simple parfait!

    […] this morning was another chocolate cookie, like yesterday, but no Amazing Grass (fresh out), and I forgot the milled flax.  Still delish […]

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
My allergies may be making me want to scratch my e My allergies may be making me want to scratch my eyes out of my head, but at least I’m having dessert! 😆😭 Fun fact: I never had allergies til we moved to Arkansas. Discovering this discomfort as an adult is...special?

This little parfait is a mini jar filled with plain Greek yogurt and homemade strawberry chia jam 🍓. No sugar added and tastes like a cheesecake - I’ll take it! Jam recipe is in my “food” highlight - just sub any frozen fruit in the same amounts and voila!
