Happy Friday!!!

I’ve been meaning to post daily, but with Brent being away, I’m solo with work, house duties, dogs and of course Sienna, so time is limited.  I know what the single mom’s are feeling like this week!!!

I was so tired this morning that I slept in.  I have a hard time going to bed early lately, so much stuff on the brain!! I’m going to try and get a workout in later today.  I did do my leg workout yesterday AM which was great.  My legs are a bit sore today.  I did it in the middle of my living room so all my neighbors could drive by and see LOL!  But I was in my ugly pajamas! haha!

OK, so I GIVE IN!!!  I’ll post the recipe!  Lots of comments/messages on my Facebook Page for it…so here it is!!!

I modified the recipe from Tropical Traditions website.

Chocolate PB Coconut No Bake Cookies

Makes 12 cookies

1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (will be solid at room temp)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup quick oats

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until all melted together.  Boil for a couple minutes and take off heat.  Stir in peanut butter and vanilla and lastly oats.

Drop by Tablespoon onto waxed paper.  Store in freezer for at least 30 minutes

****It will be tempting to eat them before they go in the freezer but WAIT!!!! Have a taste AFTER they’ve been in the freezer for 30 minutes!!!!!

Can be stored in fridge or freezer.

Weekend plans?  I’ve got a baby shower on Saturday then probably hang out at my dad & step-mom’s on Sunday.  Hopefully the weather improves, its been rainy all week.
