Hi everyone! So I recently posted a photo on
of my first legit pregnancy craving. And these guys were the culprit. A friend of mine posted the recipe for these
No-Bake Energy Bites via Chew Out Loud
(<-- click here for a link to the original recipe!) and it was literally all I could think about. I headed straight to the kitchen and gathered every ingredient I had that I thought would work and made a few substitutions to the original recipe based on my personal preferences and the availability of what I could find in my pantry. For all those who had been asking, here is the recipe for my adapted version (and let me tell you, they were EXACTLY what I had been craving-- two thumbs up for sure!)
Ingredients
1 cup dry, old-fashioned oats
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup granola with flax seed (I used Kind Healthy Grains Cinnamon Oat Clusters)
⅔ cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Cover and chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Roll the mixture into small balls and store in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to indulge (which in my case didn't take long....).
3. That's it! So easy and so delicious and semi-healthy and pregnancy-approved by this mama. I also heard they are kid-approved as well and I'm sure you could always sneak in some other healthy ingredients into these "cookies" for them as well (or for yourself if you find tricking yourself into eating healthy is the way to go ;) ).
Even our Lay was hoping she could get a taste they looked so good ;)
Bon appetit!

"That's our baby in there!!"
Hey everyone! Now that the news is out that
, I thought I'd share some baby bump updates with you that I've been keeping secretly stashed away on my camera roll (only sharing with close family and friends of course!) up until now. I thought this would be a fun way to document our journey with our first little one and we hope you enjoy joining along! (ps. don't be alarmed by weeks 6 & 7 where it looks like there might as well be a full-sized baby in there... we're just gonna go ahead and blame those two weeks on bloating....)
with faith, love, & coffee,
