Quest Bar Cookies!

Hello Friends,

Many of you may know that I am a fan of Quest Bars. Sugar free, gluten free, low carb. Here's the link for all the nutrional info on them. www.questproteinbar.com

Anyway, I was super excited about the new cookie dough flavour that's been released, but alas, it's not available in Canada....I wanted to try it because my friendly neighbourhood FUEL Supplements store owner, Aaron, told me he heard you could bake them up like little cookies.

Well, that got me to thinking. Why would it be limited to the cookie dough variety, why not peanut butter or apple pie. With just a few available moments this morning I tried it...so great. Instead of noshing into a bar, I nibbled on 10 tiny cookies...crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

Here's how I did it.

I chose to use the Peanut Butter Flavour.

I cut the bar into squares and placed on a tinfoil covered baking sheet, misted with PAM.

Into a 325 degree oven for about five minutes. Watch them. You want to catch them just as they start to brown.

Take them out and press them flat. I used a knife but next time will use a fork so they look like real peanut butter cookies!

A perfect mid morning snack with your favourite hot beverage!

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while. I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed. I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change. I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness. Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance. This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside. If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise. I...

LASER UPDATE

Hello Friends. Just checking in after what's been a long break from the blog! I wanted to update you as I continue my laser treatments at Advantage Body Clinic. A bit of history ~ I have stretch marks from two pregnancies. I had a tummy tuck six years ago to get rid of sagging skin and repair a separated abdominal muscle. The surgery was wonderful, no more sagging skin, but it didn't get rid of the stretch marks. For the last half year (or so) I've been undergoing treatments at Advantage. Using 'Fractional Laser' technology, Kathryn and Karen are adamant I will be stretch mark free when this process is complete. I have had six treatments, I have noticed much improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks, but they aren't gone. It seems my surgery, which stretched the skin, impacts the laser treatments. It doesn't mean it won't work, it will just take longer. Again, one of the great perks of these treatments, which promote collagen pr...
