Friday Success-2, Failure-1

Happy Friday!!! I’m pumped for the weekend!

I started this lovely Friday morning off with Day #1, Week #3 of my interval training (2 minutes walking, 4 minutes running for 30 minutes). Knees are doing really good, which makes me SUPER happy 😀

Breakfast #1

GRILLED FRUIT AND NUT BUTTER WRAP! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Regular PB2 + black raspberries + Mama Lupe’s low carb tortilla =

+ George Foreman

= HEAVEN:

SUCCESSSSS. If you haven’t tried a grilled fruit and nut butter wrap yet… get on it! They are delicious!

Breakfast #2

After seeing the breakfast cookie success Leashieloo had on her blog, I decided it was time for round #2 with the breakfast cookie.

Last night I gathered all my ingredients:

That’s:

1/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill Extra Thick rolled oats
1 tbsp smuckers organic creamy peanut butter
1/8 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze Vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup Mott’s unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sweetened coconut

I was a little hesitant when I combined all the ingredients because it seemed like it was just going to be a big mushy mess. I contemplated making back-up overnight oats, then decided to just pack some extra almond milk so I could make on-the-spot-overnight oats if needed.

Well my worries were valid — my breakfast cookie didn’t turn out like a cookie but more of a mushy mess.

I added a 1/4 cup of almond breeze to the mix to make it more like overnight oats. Overall, I think I’m just not a big fan of the applesauce in the breakfast cookies. Not sure why, but it doesn’t jive with me!

Fail 🙁

Stats on the breakfast cookie (including extra almond breeze): 322 calories, 44g carbs, 12g fat, 9g protein, 5g fiber

Lunch!

Today I had a very special lunch treat! My friend & colleague Natalie and I had an outdoor picnic courtesy of Jimmy Johns!

I got the usual: Beach Club Unwich – Mayo + Onion + Giant pickle 😀

Success!

Weekend plans include shopping, dining, cookouts, R&R, and fam time 😀

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

I would just omit the applesauce situation. I forgot to put 1/2 a cup of a mix in today (it was going to be banana) and it turned out very nice.

  Yeah I definitely need to try that! I'm not giving up on them yet... anything with cookie in the title is worth at least 3 shots :)
