Ooey Gooey Goodness

As I stood in my kitchen for over two hours this morning making one thing after another to fill up my growing two year olds belly I decided to try out a little recipe! I used to make these yummy granola bites I found on Pinterest and my kid was obsessed with them to say the least!! However, after finding out he was intolerant to oats via a hair strand test we had to make some changes. My hubs asked if there was anyway I could tweak that recipe to fit my son's needs! So I got stayed in the kitchen and whipped up a little something.

Ooey Gooey Goodness Bars:
- 2 1/2c Crispy Cocoa Rice GF cereal (I used Mom's Best brand found a Kroger)
- 1/4c organic flaxseed
- 1/2c planters honey roasted peanuts (my son loves them)
- 1c peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 1/2c honey
- 1/2c dairy free chocolate chips (Enjoy Life is a good brand found at Kroger or Target)

Mix it all together in a bowl. Line a square pan with wax paper and spread mixture. Set in freezer for about 15 minutes (long enough for them to hold together) then cut into squares and serve! Or wrap them individually for a lunch treat! I plan to use them as an Easter treat in lieu of chemical laden candy :)!!

new blog

I'm working on revamping my blog to be focused more on fitness, healthy eating and being a mom! I don't know about you but I had to revamp my lifestyle when my wild child came along :)

Here I am with said wild child! He is so vibrant, fun and energetic! Everything you can imagine a little boy being! 

That being said...when he came along and the older he get's I found it harder to work in my workouts and keep up with healthy eating habits! So I had to revamp...retrain myself to a new way of doing life but I didn't give up!! I workout with a group of mom's three mornings a week and have the privilege of leading them and the other days I run with my hubby, workout during naptime or whatever happens to fit that days schedule! 

As I work on reshaping my blog I plan to add recipes that fit our gluten free, dairy free lifestyle as well as routines that I use and sneaky ways I get my picky eater to eat!! Ah ha!

I would love for you to follow along and share with your mommy friends! 

I will leave you with this recipe :) and I will try to remember to take photos to add to the post!!
