Healthified No Bake Thumbprint Cookies

July 18, 2016 Amanda Plott

So, today I decided to be a bit lazy and go the no bake route. I mean... it's 100 degrees here in Texas and I sure don't want to turn my oven or stove on anymore than I need to. That being said, sometimes a girl just needs a sweet treat or a cookie to make it through the day! This is definitely the best of both worlds right here.

These no bake thumbprint cookies are so super easy to whip and I don't even need to heat my kitchen up at all to enjoy them! The best part is that they are basically as clean as cookies can come! Using oat and nut flours instead of wheat, also means they are gluten-free!...

Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes

May 14, 2016 Amanda Plott

To say that this week has been crazy, would be an understatement of epic proportions. With the school year coming to a close, getting things in order for school next year, my daughter being in two upcoming dance recitals, and the usual round of summer birthdays coming about, and my downstairs floor being replaced today, I'm just about to my limit.

One thing that did make this week more easy was having these wonderful protein packed pancakes ready to go for breakfast in the morning. Not only did they keep me full and satisfied to get through the craziness of the week, but they also tasted amazing.

I had to do a lot of my cooking ahead of time since my stove is currently out in the garage. Everything had to be up off the floor for it to be replaced. Like I said... madness is my life right now, hah!...

Crock Pot Blueberry & Banana Irish Oatmeal

July 16, 2014 Amanda Plott

A big heaping bowl of irish oatmeal for breakfast almost always hits the spot for me, but I haven't had any for quite a while now. I guess I have it in my mind that oatmeal isn't exactly a summer sort of breakfast, so I tend to brush it aside for these grueling few months of 100 degree weather.

However, oatmeal was a specific request on the part of my grandmother, and since it's getting down to her last few weeks here... I thought I would finally oblige!

I didn't want to make the same irish oatmeal that she had before when she was here last summer to visit. No, no. I wanted to try something a little different.

Blueberries and bananas anyone?...

Skinny Blackberry Coconut Oat Bars

I'm not generally a fan of coconut, but one manner in which I will tolerate it... is toasted and baked in a tasty sweet treat.

I had some major thoughts of making some oatmeal for breakfast this week, and then I got the notion to try something a little different. ...Something I could grab and go as I'm running around like a mad woman this week...
