Life up to this point has been a dream for a fast paced, multi-tasking person like myself. This year, Justin finished up residency in Dallas, worked for 2 months in New Zealand, and we moved to our Alma mater in College Station, TX. I try to maximize each day in hope of being the best wife, mommy, and person that I can be. Squeezing in a work out and whipping up easy nutritious meals for the fam can be quite a daunting task, but my hope is to provide a glimpse into my unconventional way of doing things that somehow work for us.
My husband, works random hours, and I always like to send him off with some sort of nutrient dense snack to sustain him. Justin is really passionate about following a low carb diet- so most of our meals and snacks follow suit.
These peanut butter cookies were whipped up today with what I had laying around the house (I rarely get to the store these days with a one month old) and they just happen to be moist and delicious. As you can see, I rarely follow recipes.... just go with it.
- Big blob of natural PB (I used chunky and about 1/4-1/3 of the jar)
- Enough all natural, no sugar added apple sauce to thin out the PB
- 1 cap full of vanilla extract
- Sprinkle of baking soda
- Dash of salt
- Flax seed to thicken to a cookie dough consistency
Mix all ingredients together, spoon onto a non greased baking pan, and pop into the oven at 350 degrees, and bake until you smell the cookies. This is usually 5-8 minutes depending on the oven. Let cool. They will be the perfect consistency once they cool and thicken up a bit.
Makes 5 medium size cookies.
Your husband will love you.
