Is it weird that I’m excited its only suppose to reach 90 degrees today?

I visited one of my good friends in Phoenix a couple of summers ago (August to be exact). We went out to dinner and she kept saying how nice the weather was and how we should sit outside… it was 94 degrees at 8:30 PM. I thought she was crazy!

Angela… I don’t think you’re crazy anymore…

Moving on…

I’ve been wanting to make some sort of “healthy” treat for M (and me) to eat. After playing around the kitchen… I came up with these Brown Rice Crispy Balls. They are so easy to make!! And so good!

The ingredients are simple:

• 2 1/2 cups Brown Rice Crispy’s
• 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (optional)
• 1/2 cup Brown Rice Syrup
• 1/2 cup Sunflower Seed Butter (or any nut butter)

In a small sauce pan, combine brown rice syrup and nut butter, and stir over medium-low heat just until mixture is combined and smooth.

Would you just look at that!! I swear I could’ve just consumed the nut butter/rice syrup mixture! It was sooo good!!

Pour nut butter sauce over rice crispy’s and chia seeds. Stir until combined.

Roll into 1 inch balls. I used a melon ball scooper. It worked perfectly

My goodness these things are so good! M LOVED them! They were so easy for her to eat! Plus… I have a healthy treat for me too

I’m thinking you should make these pretty soon

Moving on to the Kiddie Lunch Box….

Cream Cheese Tomato Sammie…. (spread cream cheese on whole wheat bread and place a thick slice of tomato in the middle)

Hard Boiled Egg….

And finally… a very ripe plum….

And just so you know… M and I pretty much eat the same thing for lunch… except my portions are bigger, and I like the crust on my bread

M thoroughly enjoyed her meal And there may have been a Mango Banana Pop consumed as well

Question for you…

I need your help!

I mentioned last week that my old iPod shuffle died I had to venture out and by a new one…

Have a great Tuesday
