Healthy Eating…It Is Not Easy!

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood3 Comments

Continue along with me on my journey from Flab to Fab.

I am going to be honest… I have had a really hard time with eating right this week. Obviously making the transition from stay at home mom to working mom has been (and will be) a work in progress.  I have been getting up early to exercise and always make my lunch the night before to bring into work.  Since I have been using my crock pot to have dinner ready as soon as I get home from work, it has also been a lot easier to prevent myself from unnecessary after work snacking.  If I plan out and control my meals, I have usually been successful.  I know that I cannot be successful 100% of the time.  I do want to be successful 100% of the time, but let’s be honest, it isn’t realistic.  I have been letting myself have one or two “treats/cheats” a week, and for the most part I have been really good at sticking to my healthy eating plan.

So what is my problem this week?!
Flab to Fab | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comHalloween candy is my kryptonite.  Who am I kidding, candy in general is my weakness.  I love kitkats and twix, and reeses pieces and pb cups, oh and don’t forget about skittles…
While I haven’t purchased any Halloween candy myself, we have gone to a few different Halloween activities where my kids have gotten candy.  They have been kind enough to share it with me.

As you may remember, I am a “food addict”.  As with all addictions, it all starts with the first piece…if I can just resist that first piece…why can’t I just resist that first piece?!   It really is all about that first piece!  Once I have eaten one, it just tastes so good, and it leads to another and then another. See what I mean, addict.  Then comes the feelings of regret and guilt…does that happen to you too? I seriously hate it!

So, what am I going to do about this?
Well, for now, I am going to forgive myself for messing up this week, and I am making a conscious decision to make the right food choices in the upcoming week.

If there's one cookie that reminds me of my childhood this has got to be it! I LOVE these no bake pb coco oat meal cookies! Just how I like a recipe to be... so easy and so delicious! | lookingjoligood.woordpress.com

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Butter (1 stick butter)
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups oatmeal (I prefer old fashioned rolled oats, not instant)

Directions

Over medium heat, mix the sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a medium/large saucepan. Boil for 1 minute.

Turn off the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix quickly until peanut butter melts completely. Then add the oatmeal and mix until well blended.

Using a 2 tbsp scooper (a spoon will also be fine) drop spoonfuls onto tin foil, wax paper or parchment.
It’s going to be tough to resist eating them, but allow the cookies to set and cool completely.

Makes 3 1/2 dozen 2 tbsp cookies.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

I LOVE oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough!!! But…since eating raw eggs is really not a good idea, I baked up these cookies.  I tried to refrained from eating too much of the uncooked dough. There is just something about raw oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough that I find absolutely irresistible.  Here is my go to recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies:

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies | lookingjoligood.woordpress.com
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Yields approximately 6 dozen cookies

2 sticks butter, softened

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp clove (a little goes a long way, so don’t over season with this spice)

3 cups old-fashion or quick cooking oats (uncooked)

2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Directions

Beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Beat in eggs until light and fluffy.

Add flour, baking power, cinnamon, clove, and salt and mix until blended.

Stir in oats and chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Scoop dough into balls with 2 tsp scoop and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. I highly recommend using parchment paper, foil or a silicone baking sheet for the best results!

Bake 9-11 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy and try not to eat them all at once!

Creamy Peanut Butter Bars

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood9 Comments

| lookingjoligood.woordpress.com|Peanut butter cookie bars originally from bakedinaz.com

Baked In Arizona has some awesome recipes on her site.  These Creamy Peanut Butter Bars are some of my absolute favorites. Her recipe is a bit different from ones that I have made it the past, but still so simple yet so delicious!

Definitely one of my very favorite treats! I highly recommend you make these! I usually give some away to friends as a gift because I cannot trust myself to not eat the entire thing all by myself.  They are so delicious!

Here is the  link and the recipe.

Creamy Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup ritz crackers, crushed
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Set aside.
Mix the crackers, peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the mixture and place in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Cool slightly then spread chips out with a spatula. Let the chocolate set up in the fridge (or freezer if you are impatient like me) then cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes: To make this a no-bake bar, you could melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or stove top and then spread over the top.
