My Subjects, WILW, and {Healthy} Breakfast Cookie!



So, what happens when you get a big girl DSLR camera?
Naturally, you take pictures of everything in sight...
aka what I call, my loyal subjects. ;)
Take these for example: 

Rocky
{a no brainer}









Food
{healthy dinners}

{tilapia and butternut squash}


{spinach salad}


hubby + Rocky
{again, no brainer here. they are too cute to pass up, don't you think?}

 

when all else fails?

my wine.
{see how the glass is in focus and the bottle out of focus? fancy pants I tell ya' ;)}


The trick to good photography that I'm struggling with is actually having the time to LEARN the camera and different settings! I haven't had much time to explore the camera and play around with it, but I'm hoping I will get to this weekend.
 Cool pictures to come peeps :)


Now for the good stuff...


It's time to share the infamous healthy breakfast cookie with you all. I cannot and will not take credit for this genius recipe as it's from the ever so awesome Fitnessista's blog. She has wonderful healthy recipes {eats very similar to myself} and shares awesome workouts.

I've been making variations of this breakfast cookie recipe for a while now, but never got around to sharing. It must be your lucky day if you haven't seen this recipe yet.


Breakfast Cookie

*1/3 cup oats
*1 tbs nut butter of choice (typically I use almond)
*1/2 scoop protein powder (you can use white or chocolate. I like chocolate best)


*Stir to combine in a small bowl. Use a spoon to break up the nut butter.
*Add 1/8 cup milk (I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk) and mix.
*Add any mixins: 1/2 mashed banana, chocolate chips, raisins, dried berries, the list goes on. Get creative with it!
*Stir. Sweeten with Stevia or cinnamon.
 I almost ALWAYS use cinnamon..delish.
*Put mixture on a small appetizer sized plate and flatten with a spoon
*Refrigerate overnight and then enjoy in the morning with a spoon!

Super easy and soo good!


Are you hungry now?!

*if you're interested in seeing food pictures and posts of what I eat, leave me a comment
or shoot me an email, so I know it's something you want to see.


Make it a great day, everyone :)
