Two Tips for Tuesday/Cookies for Breakfast!
Tuesday, 19 August 2008
Here are two tips that are both time and cost effective as well as physically and financially healthy!
Two Tips:
1. Customized Grocery Shopping.
We shop once a week for exactly what we need and with few exceptions, our grocery bill is always withing $2 or $3 of the same amount every week. And every week we test drive at least 3 new recipes; so no, we are not always purchasing the same items.
Our list makes its home on the side of the refrigerator and as an item is finished it gets added to the list as do the necessary items for the coming weeks recipes.
2. Healthy, Quick and Sweet!
Would you like a quick and healthy breakfast you can just grab and run! Look no further!
We make these on Friday for the week to come. They can also be frozen ahead. (Ideal for a road trip)
Protein Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!
| Directions: | |
 | 3/4 cup sugar |
| 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 egg |
| 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
| 1 teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt |
| 3/4 cup raisins |
| 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal |
| 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional) |
*Be sure to watch your first batch - it may not take quite as long as usual.
There are only 24 hrs. in every day and if you are like me, you are always looking for ways to maximize every moment. So, please share your tips!
Leave your link and tip in the comment section, or comment on your own blog and let me know and I will reference your tip/blog.

This past week was a good week. Aren't they all?! :D
Of special interest:
Ashley~Congratulations go to our oldest daughter Ashley! She is studying very hard for an upcoming test and just this morning she completed her second Math Text Book in 3 weeks. This last one was 720 pages and she finished it in 11 days! You Go Girl!!!
AND, she keeps up with the rest of life at the same time! This amazing person is my daughter!!!
Abby~ Coloring a picture for Grandma Grandpa and learning all about addressing letters.
Aydon~ Aydon is growing so quickly! Already he helps clean up his toys, climbs the stairs (his first mountain?) and is learning his ABCs! Here he is playing with Lu.
Papai~Papai takes my breathe away more and more every day. It is such a pleasure to be one with my best friend on this journey we call life. He is a daily example of the person each one of us can choose to be: perfect in heart and therefore constantly growing and improving.
An excellent person, best friend, husband, father, provider, son, etc.
I never dreamed I would marry into a "computer" family! :D
But alas we are a keyboard family!

I have been tagged by Bea for 6 random things about myself!
1. When I eat Oreo's I take them apart and eat the middle part first! (Why do parents usually tell their children they can't do this? I taught mine to! :D
2. I "live" by list! List for me are like a road map through my week. However, I am not bound to my list. When and as needed I make frequent "detours". And to give credit where credit is due, I must say a very grateful Thank you to my dear husband for this. When we were first married, I could not "function" if everything was not done on "time".ie. dinner, dishes, then family. My husband has taught me that I can relax and put myself and my family first without being lazy or dirty etc. and yes, things still get done on time only now it is our time!
3. I hang plaque's and photos in our closet that we like but that do not "fit" anywhere else! Just like Firegirl.
4. I do NOT like clutter. Therefore I go through every room in the house on average every 3 to 4 months and make a follow up call to Goodwill's Pickup service!
5. I use only non.toxic personal and home care products. They clean better than commercial grade cleaners and they are more cost effective! If you are interested in knowing why or how ask me.
6. Tandem jumping is on my Buckett List!
