Today was a busy and fun day. Since I'm off on Wednesdays I always use the day to clean my house. About every other day I pick up the house but on Wednesdays I super clean the house. I scrub the bathroom and kitchen, mop the floors, dust, vacuum, do laundry... you know the heavy duty housework. Today I woke up early and got all my chores done because my bestie Angelia and her son Ace were coming over! WOO!
It was a really great time to get the babies together and to visit with each other. Sometimes it's nice to have a long meaningful conversation with an adult. I also used that time to vent about things. Having someone to vent to it also very nice :)

The wonderful Angelia brought me a cookie and coffee. Good Girl! But since I was up early and had the time I managed to make some cookies too. I found this recipe on Pinterest for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Quinoa cookies and I have everything in my cabinet to make them so I did!
They were pretty good! Kind of tasted like no bake cookies. They may have peanut butter and chocolate chips in them but there isn't any white sugar or flour and that's count for something, right? hehe
And of course my baking buddy, Mr. Walter.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut (I left these out)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine quinoa, peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, and oats in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on low/medium speed, combine ingredients well. I didn't allow quinoa to cool so it melt the chocolate chips :/
3. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Scoop and mold dough into round, tablespoon-sized cookies.
5. Place cookies on parchment-paper-lined baking sheets and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until bottoms are nicely browned.
6. Allow to cool completely before storing.
P.S. Next post involves steak...Mmmmm...
