What's Working Wednesday

Happy Mid Week. Anyone else not too fond of the word “hump” day? Maybe its just me. Anyway, today has been a good day. I think its because I’m still trying to keep that FOCUS, and keep it POSITIVE. It’s funny, because even the small things are making my day. And with that in mind, I thought I'd post a “what’s working Wednesday.” Anne Marie does this on her blog and I absolutely LOVE IT!!

What’s Working is…………

First of all, a little retail therapy from World Market

My new Wine Rack!! I love it!! Got it for $50 marked down from $199. Now that’s a steal! World Market, you just made my week.

Secondly, good products! Thanks to CSN Kitchenware for a fabulous find. How did I go without a toaster oven for so long?

This one has a built in Toaster and it fits perfectly I my tiny kitchen. I am seriously obsessed. Now I can make a yummy breakfast in NO TIME! Yes, those are my Udi’s bagels! hehe.

And last but not least, more FUEL COOKIES!! The hubs really liked my first batch with his 4+ hour ride, so I decided to make another round, different Flavor of course.

(GF) Banana Pineapple & Pretzel

Fuel Cookies

Lets call them BPP Fuel Cookies for short. Mmmmm k?

Ingredients and More:

• 1/2 lb. bag of dried pineapple rings (equivalent to about 8-10 dried rings)- Natural sugars/carbohydrates used for quick ENERGY and restoring glycogen.
• 1 serving protein (30grms)- I used Jay Robb Pina Colada. You can use vanilla as well. – protein to support muscles.
• 2 tbsp Nuttzo. If you don't have Nuttzo, use 2 tbsp chunky nut butter – Good source of fat for slow release energy.
• 3 heaping tbsp crushed banana chips- potassium rich natural energy.
• 1 tbsp chia seed and 1 tsp flax seeds.- Chia seeds are contain a good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are also rich in fiber, protein, amino acids, antioxidants, and a lots of different nutrients, (including calcium, B vitamins, zinc, boron, potassium, copper and phosphorus).Check out THIS article for how they effect glycogen storage.
• 1 tbsp honey-
• vanilla extract or vanilla stevia.
• 1 handful crushed GF pretzels- gluten free carbs for energy

Directions: Place pineapple rings in food processor, blend until it makes one big batter (thick and sticky). Transfer into bowl and add in remaining ingredients. Mix with hands (yes, I am classy like that). Roll into balls and flatten with hand into cookies. Place on wax paper and store in freezer. Makes around 16-18 cookies.

So there you have it. This is WHATS WORKING WEDNESDAY! I’d rather not going into what’s not working. I’m on a high here. haha!
