Today was a somewhat uneventful day.
Woke up. Walked Pepsi. Drove to work.
Hate driving but had an appointment after work that I could not walk to.
Worked. Went to appointment. Came home. Glad to be home!
As promised I wanted to share yet another energy bar recipe (yes I am obsessed). This time I got it from this lovely lady.
She tweaked her recipe and I tweaked it further.
Started with the good stuff:
1 Ripe Banana (mashed)
1.5 c Oats
1/2 c Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
1/2 c Raisins
1/2 c Agave
1/2 c Raw Almond Butter
2 Tbsp Flax Meal
1.5 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Mixed it all up and put it in the pan:
Instead of freezing the bars for an hour, I baked them for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. The house smelled divine!
They turned out delicious BUT are falling apart. I wonder if I should add an egg white to help them stay together?
Any recommendations?
They are still quite good and package up nicely.
Speaking of appointment, yes it was that time again to get my you-know-whats flattened out like a pancake in the name of breast cancer prevention.
I only mention it on this blog, because I am curious as to what you think of mammograms? Some people say they cause cancer. Some people believe in thermography instead. Some people think none of it works.
What do you think?
Already looking forward to tomorrow because I can walk to work!
Have a great night.
Hi Kalli – Just had my annual mam 2 weeks ago. I went to the CMH Breast Care Center in Ventura and boy have they improved the whole process! I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. 2 shots of each breast and done, not near as uncomfortable as the old style machines. Their staff is warm and friendly and I just received my results – all normal!
I’m excited an relieved b/c in the past I almost always was called back for a second apt because they saw something curious, but then I would be cleared. So again I have to say
not much of a inconvenience when I weigh in the peace of mind.
Hope all goes well! Mona (ChocaVina)
First of all, let me say that the energy bars look delicious — so much so that even I might try to make them! That’s saying a lot, since the less time I spend in the kitchen, the better.
On to a more important matter. Mammograms. Glad you got yours! Everyone else — please follow suit. I know that my mammogram saved my life, and I was (and am) religious about getting it done annually. Very little radiation is used nowadays, so it’s worth the “risk” of radiation to save your life. Thermography — forget it.
So what’s for dinner tonight?
