Salt & Humor

Yah, baby Yah!!! Breakfast for dinner! I cooked the cracked wheat with water for 20 minutes. Stirred in cinnamon, flax seed, Jay Robb rice-chocolate protein powder, cranberries, walnuts and raisins. Topped with coconut and almond buttah.

Just wasn’t feeling a big dinner and wanted something cozy.  This bowl did just that. Plus it made the kitchen smell so nice.

Just a quick post tonight.  We have a Netflix movie that needs to be watched.: Land of the Lost. Yah baby Yah!…Don’t judge, these movies are classic! Will Ferrell is the man and Danny McBride is rad!! Anyone seen Eastbound and Down?

Sweetness! Tonight is my Friday. Why not make cookies. Sounds like a fair enough task for a “Friday” night. I have a favorite recipe from my mom for pumpkin-oat, chocolate chip cookies. I am telling you these have been my favorite cookie forever! I made a full batch a couple weeks ago. Tonight I was feeling bold. I may not be the best baker but tonight it was ok. When I bake, I color outside the lines. Exact measurements drive me crazy. I could never pull off the recipes with the gram measurements. So tonight, that little issue is what made the cookies soo good. I semi followed the recipe.

Kabocha-oat, chocolate chip and cranberry

I put half a cooked kabocha squash in the food processer.  Then I froze 1 cup and 1/2 cup measurements for later use.  Perfect for a spontanious Friday night cookie match.  YeeeYay!

Subbed whole wheat flour.  No sugar- I used 1 stevia pack, molasses and pure maple syrup.  Added ground cloves, nutmeg, walnuts and fresh cranberries.

They were rad!  The cranberries are nice and tart.  What can I say; HAPPY FRIDAY!
