Ok so before I get to the exciting topic at hand…favorite healthy recipe a quick update. I am still stalled through well all the fault of my own. It is finals week at work so I am crazy there, the hubs had the stomach flu then regular sick, then I had a bladder and kidney infection, and now I am sick. Needless to say I am still maintaining because getting the healthy eating and exercise routine has been tough…but I am starting fresh today. Had a healthy breakfast despite feeling like crap and plan to eat as good as I can till I can workout. I have a chest cold so my plan is to work the upper body Mamavation 2 week challenge exercises until I can do more of the stuff that involves cardio (well not cardio but you know more deep breathing!).
Also, I have a lot on my mind lately…some of it personal with my own journey that I will talk about later but also some people I love are going through a lot. SO those who do the prayer thing if you could all say a prayer for a high school classmate and niece of my mom's BFF her son is going in for his second round of antibody treatment (her son has a horrible form of cancer and had been through chemo and a stem cell transplant already). They need this treatment to work so I will be praying hard from them. Also a friend from work is having a mastectomy today and for some reason this has me really emotional. This woman is the funniest, sweetest, most positive woman you will ever meet. She comes to work and teaches when she can despite being super sick. She is amazing and I know this is a major surgery and needed but it still breaks my heart for her (as of hitting publish her husband posted she is out of surgery). So prayers for them both today as they both get one step closer to kicking cancer's ass.
Ok so on to some good stuff….so this recipe is adapted and stolen from www.skinnytaste.com. It is the easiest cookie ever! Plus my kids will eat them and think they are "real" cookies not the healthy stuff. You take two bananas mash them up, add in one cup of quick oats, and a few tablespoons of chocolate chips (I use vegan) bake at 350 till slightly browned and firm. YUMMMYYYYYY!!! Super easy and not that horrible health wise.
So how is every else's week going? I can't wait to read about everyone's healthy recipes this week!
