Busy Day

Started my day this morning with A wonderful cup of coffee, I love coffee it is my breakfast, I'm not really A breakfast person.I intended on spending A nice relaxing Sunday morning doing nothing before getting ready for church... hahahah none of these things happened.Before I new it Flynn and I were off driving all over town collecting things we needed for our liquor store. On one of our stops in phoenix we pulled into A strip mall on 16th st and southern across the street from our phoenix store and parked in front of A store called Raspidos.This is not the best neighborhood in the world and one might think they will not make it out, you will.....during the day.Flynn left me in the car when boardem hit I got out of the car and went into Raspidos and four this.....

Where have you been my whole life.....This was the best drink ever,mango with chamoy...now if you have ever had just mangos with chamoy you know what i'm talking about.This is the drink version.It is A drink with crushed ice layered with mangos,chamoy,tamarind pieces, peanuts, more chamoy,and A tamarind stick.I was in heaven and considered this my morning snack. Don't judge it was totally worth it,and I got 1 full serving of fruit.We finally made our way to Coolidge where we put everything away worked A little and I got to hang out with my oldest son Adam.By the time we left it was 1:00 and I was starving so Flynn and I shared A small bag of pretzels. Not the best lunch choice but on the other hand we could have grabbed the flaming hot cheetoes.We found ourselves spending the afternoon working on this fun little project with the boys, A new table for the backyard.We built and stained it and I love it.

Later during the day after we were finished with the table And we were feeling hungry but not quite dinner time yet I busted out with these little beauties.No bake monster Cookie Granola Bar bites,now I know what your thinking,THERE COOKIES, but they are not cookies in fact they have no flour or sugar and it is A quick little protein energy snack to tie you over. you can omit the m&m's but then you could hardly call them monster bites.I used the mini m&m's. You can find them in the baking isle in any grocery store.The boys love these and they are great for packing in their lunch boxes as well.Heres the recipe and you can also find it on my pinterest board under Time For Snacking.

1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup honey 1/3 cup mini m7m's 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips Dump all the ingredients into A bowl and mix well. scoop out A small amount and roll into balls place in fridge to set until hard and store in container or zip lock bag. I doubled this recipe and it made quite A bit. I have recently learned about PB2 for those of you who are unfamiliar with this it is powdered peanut butter.I just picked some up from the store and have not tried it yet but I will be trying it with this recipe. Basically calories are crazy low.Regular PB is 200 calories per 2 TBSP and PB2 is 45 calories per 2 TBSP.This is A great swap calorie wise and I can't wait to try it. Dinner was fantastic tonight. We had Pork carnitas. I love making this and we have it often, I have A great recipe for it but tonight I tried Nicoles and It was the bomb !!!! You can find it on her blog foodfaddyflight.weebly.com. It's A crock pot recipe so it's perfect for Sundays or just busy days in general. Set it and forget it.Minimal prep work. you will love it.

We ended our Sunday playing board games. I love time well spent with my boys. We played clue and Oliver blew it when he was absolutely sure he new Mr. Green did it in the Dining Room with the Rope. He was not even close.
