Hey all!
I hope you had a great weekend.
I woke up this morning to an awesome breakfast. Can you guess what it was?
Yep I made my first ever breakfast cookie inspired by Fitnessista. Check out her description of how to make a breakfast cookie.
I changed the recipe a little to fit the ingredients that I had on hand. I ended up using 1/2 cup oats, 2 tbs. pumpkin butter, and 2 tbs. almond milk. I mixed it all together, put it on the plate and shaped it into a cookie, and let it sit in the refrigerator over night.
I didn’t have much in the way of toppings on hand so I decided to eat my breakfast cookie topping free. The verdict? Breakfast cookies are AWESOME! I loved the pumpkin flavors from the pumpkin butter, and the oats really did form sort of cookie (one that I ate with a fork).
I can’t wait to try the more advanced versions of the breakfast cookie, i.e. using protein powder, peanut butter, and other fun mix-ins like chocolate chips or raisins.
I came home to a fun little package in the mail this afternoon.
I took a survey a while back for MamboSprouts, which asked questions about natural beauty products. In return for the survey, Alba Botanica sent me one of their products for free. It’s Organic Lavender Sunscreen with SPF 30. I can’t wait to use it!
NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY…
A few weeks back I received a great little package in the mail fromMyBlogSpark!

While I can’t win the giveaway (no safeway in nyc) I did want to say that I’m really intrigued by that sunscreen. I love alba products! You’ll have to let us know how you like it.
I’d love to stock up on fresh fruits, veggies, and healthy protein bars!
Seems that I want fresh produce at the moment and around our area the best place for it is Dominicks (Safeway in our area). I love fresh fruit and I know that it would be a great help in purchasing that because it would help with the budget and in keeping us healthy.
I would definitely buy some fiber one yogurt – key lime pie is my favorite. I would also pick up some crab legs – the seafood actually takes pretty fresh at my Dominicks!
I tweeted about your giveaway! kstrembel

I would buy fruits and lots of yogurt. I love yogurt, and like to stir in granola cereal to make it crunchy. I would also buy more granola cereal, and some ingredients to make a nice cake (okay, I have a weakness for junk food, but I try to make it a little healthier by doing my own baking whenever possible, so I don’t get all of the chemicals like in processed junk food). I would also buy some top quality chicken breasts to make a nice teriyaki chicken dinner to celebrate.
