No Bake Energy Bites

I originally got this recipe from my aunt who got it from my "cousin" whose wife makes them for him.... mostly because they taste like candy and are a delicious snack. I was a little hesitant to try them.

But holy moley.... these things are DELICIOUS. If you're like me and have the world's biggest sweet tooth and an unnatural obsession with peanut butter... well these are the snack for you!

They are super easy to make. I take some to work with me and store them in the fridge there and eat a couple on my way out the door so I have energy for the gym.

NO BAKE ENERGY BITES



1 C. Old-Fashioned Oats
2/3 C. Toasted Coconut Flakes
1/2 C. Peanut Butter
1/2 C. Flaxseed or Wheat Germ
1/2 C. Chocolate Chips
1/3 C. Honey
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract







Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until throughly mixed.














Let Chill in fridge 1/2 hour.

Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you like. Store in airtight container and keep refrigerated up to 1 week. Makes 20-25 balls.
DELICIOUS!

September Foodie Pen Pals

Check out all these delicious treats! Let's take a break from all the depression talk and let's talk food! I haven't done Foodie Pen Pals in quite some time and I thought this could be a good opportunity during this season in my life to have some food while my energy is low. This month I was matched up with Jen over at  The Happy Healthy Balance  and boy, did she spoil me! Most of the things she sent me were from Trader Joe's which made me laugh. The closest Trader Joe's is 36 miles away. Sad face. But my family has had an obsession with that store for years. My brother first introduced it to us when he lived in St Louis (I think) and since then we always get TJ food for Christmas, birthdays, what have you. Good thing they have them in LA. Come on Fort Collins, catch up! If anyone asked me I would say I am not a picky eater. As it turns out, when other people pick out my food, my pickiness tends to come out. A lot of the stuff Jen sent me is not stuff I

May Foodie PenPals

For this month, I was matched up with Gina over at  Health, Love and Chocolate  and let me say, she did a wonderful job!!!!  She sent a lot of really great snack foods, which I have to admit I haven't tried a lot of it. Mainly due to the fact that I haven't been working out like I usually do. But these snacks make GREAT pre-workout snack, especially if you are a busy busy on-the-go kinda person like I am! One of my favorites was the LUNA bar. It was delicious and the perfect size! I'm gonna have to start buying these! YUMMMMMM! Probably my favorite in the entire box was the Teriyaki Dried Chicken Breast. SO GOOD! I actually ate it as a snack yesterday when I was sitting in the van with the kids waiting for the rain to subside so we could go tour the farm! Poor kids wanted to have some but I didn't want to share. :) (They didn't starve- they had vanilla wafers... that a squirrel later got into, but that's a different story) It was AMAZ

March Foodie Pen-Pals

This was my first time ever doing Foodie PenPals. When I heard about it I thought it sounded like a GREAT idea. It surpassed everything I ever imagined! I received a box from Adrianne. It was also her first time doing FPP. I was super excited to receive her box! :) I'd had a really bad day, so arriving home to my box was such a mood lifter. You can see in my face it had been a rough day :) Adrianne had put together a beautiful St Patrick's Day box for me. Do you see all that green?? CONTENTS OF THE BOX Look at all that!!! I was AMAZED at all the things she fit in that box. So many great things that excited me SO MUCH. :)  The first was Azteca Granola made by Adrianne. It was delicious! The mixture of sweet, salty and spicy was wonderful. I will be making this in the future. It would be great as a present for friends or something to bring to a potluck (I'm thinki
