Hey! Where's My Feet?

In my quest for a healthie lifestyle I came across this simple cookie recipe… we all have those sweet cravings right?   So what better way to shut them down than with a healthy treat!?   And in my world, simple is better… you don’t have to have fancy and expensive foods to eat healthy.   Bananas and oatmeal, that’s it… plain and simple. You’ll want to adjust your banana measurements based on size.   The original recipe called for 2 banana’s but mine were a bit on the smaller side so I went with 3, I suppose if I’d gone with only the two they would have been more flat than ball shape.   Anyway… here’s what I did… I took 3 medium-ish bananas mashed the buggers up, then mixed in a cup-ish of Quaker Instant Oats – the regular old fashion stuff, not that high in sugar crap.   Then for funsies I threw in a handful of chopped walnuts.   Mixed it all together and used a tablespoon scooper to dollop them onto parchment paper.   If you aren’t u...

It’s review time!   I was at the store a week ago and saw these “Energy Blasts” by PowerBar® on clearance!   Of course at first I thought they couldn’t be to good if they’re on clearance – right?   Right… kinda.   I bought ‘em anyway cause I figured it’d be a good “healthy” work snack for when the munchies creeped up on me. The box describes them as gel filled chews… really?   They’re bland gummy drops with a pea size goop of red stuff that tastes nothing like raspberry.   While still edible, not exactly a gummy bear… though I will finish off the box, so I guess they aren’t completely horrendous.   The thing that get’s me though is their “claim” of being “energy blasts”…. I think they forgot to add the energy.   Granted I’ve only had one serving/pouch but still… oh wait… it says they are for use before or DURING moderate & high intensity exercise.   Oops… I know I’ve been slacking on the work out stuff lately but has it been so long...

And by "alert" I mean, don't waste your money!  I'm always on the look out for new and healthy snacks so when I happened across this little "gem" I thought I was about to cross over into Heaven... that's what I get for thinking! It's a wholesome wholegrain cracker with pumpkin seeds and cheddar cheese, how can you go wrong with that combination right?  Well the good Doctor seriously needs to have his medical license revoked for this sick and twisted joke.  Just one bite is all it took to realize what I was really eating is a piece of cardboard infused with cheddar and pumpkin seeds... at least I think those were seeds and cheese.  So for this connoisseur of all things food, healthy and not so much... I give it a big two thumbs down!
