Hi! Happy Monday! Thursday we got back from a week in Colorado and I’m still not quite recovered. Something about traveling solo, your baby not napping or sleeping good (he was up for HOURS several nights we were gone. i think he’s teething 😐 ) + late nights and early mornings + and playing all day long wears a mama out. BUT it was so much fun and so worth it! I’ve got a post all about traveling with the littles coming later this week.
My no sugar goal came to hault on vacation. When I’m tired or stressed I always tend to reach for sugar. And diet coke 🙂 Aaaaand my mom made these amazing crack brownies while I was home that were just begging me to eat them. I caved.
Maybe I’ll try again soon.
But this weekend, home with all my boys, we made cookies. Flourless Chocolate Chip Honey Cookies. Made with oats, coconut oil and sweetened with honey. And chocolate chips, duh. They’re practically heathy, right? Riiiiight. So we ate a few….
They’re thick and chewy and perfectly sweet. I was surprised how much I loved the hint of honey with chocolate and oats too. You’ve just got to try them. Think of them as a guilt free chocolate chip cookie –> no flour, no butter and no refined sugar!
