Wheat Waffles and Protein Cookies

One of the main reasons I work out is so I can eat. Lots. I love me some good, healthy food!

Sunday morning we usually either have whole wheat crepes (made my Karl) or whole wheat waffles (made by me). I wanted to share the waffle recipe with you!

Whole Wheat Waffles

1 3/4 c whole wheat flour

1 T baking powder

1/2 t salt

1/4 c honey

2 T canola oil

2 eggs

2 c milk (cow or soy)

(flaxseed)

Noah and Max like their waffles with honey and cinnamon, frozen berries on the side. Karl and I usually top ours with yogurt and banana and/or berries. The boys love to snack on waffles during church as well.

During our St. George Training Camp Leslie found this great recipe for oatmeal protein cookies. It was perfect for what we wanted. Easy, fast, healthy and still satisfied our cravings. It is definitely not your regular cookie: no flour, no sugar, no oil. I think it is a great pre-exercise and recovery snack.

Oatmeal Protein Cookies

1/4 c apple sauce

1 c quick oats

1/2 c egg white

1 scoop protein powder

I like to add some or all of the following:

walnut pieces

raisins

unsweetened coconut flakes

Bake at 300 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Happy Baking if you feel inclined to do so.

the protein cookies take the cake (?) for sounding weird but tasting good.

Tony just showed me your blog and I love it! I came across your protein cookie recipe and decided to give it a whirl since I was in charge of making breakfast cookies for Easter Sunday at church. But my only protein powder was blueberry, so I figured I'd dub them "blueberry coconut" cookies. Turns out that name was overkill. I mixed everything together and they came out BRIGHT BLUE!! They were absolutely delicious, but it took some serious convincing for people to give them a try. Yummy recipe!

Racing Season '09

So far, this season has been really good . I have done 4 races and have been able to stand on top of the podium 4 times. Yeah! I am still far from where I could be and would like to be but, I guess, I'll take it. But I really need to get my act together... Having nice gear always helps, though. And, thanks to Salt Lake Running Company , I have plenty of it. Unfortunately, in January when they ordered our stuff, I had big plans and was hoping to be back in shape by May. Well, I am not. So most of the beautiful stuff they sent is just sitting in the closet waiting to be worn for the first time. My fault. Should have ordered a bigger size . Maybe next season. Luckily, the backpack fits! Noah loves the pink. So do I. These are the fanciest running shoes I have ever owned. I love them. They are so comfortable , really light , and super fast to put on. Sadly, I only get to wear them on race day. If they were not so expensive, I would get myself a pair just to wear around. Okay, not...

I am so lucky

I feel the need to write. My thoughts are all jumbled. Can I make sense of them on paper? Writin g gives me perspective and makes it easier to let go. Last weekend I was very frustrated, mad, self-centered, unhappy , wallowing in self-pity. This weekend I was more balanced, a little more patient, trying to be less selfish, happy . How did it happen? I have had to deal with myself for almost 30 years now and, luckily, have figured out a few things on the way. Like how to feel at peace with myself , my family , my life . It shouldn't be complicated to be happy in my circumstances. I realize that. But sometimes it still is. Sometimes being a mom and wife doesn't come easy to me. Sometimes I think everyone would be better off if I wasn't a mom and wife. Sometimes I wish it was easier to just take off and do nothing but swimbikeruneatsleep for a week or two. It's not helping that my German teammates are doing just that. Right now. On a beautiful island. In the warm...

It's Play Time

I love and believe what it says on my mountain bike: All Work and No Play is No Fun at All In college I was known for working hard AND playing hard and not much has changed. Ok, I'll face it. Everything as changed. But I still like to play. Hard. I got to spend last weekend in one my favorite playgrounds - St. George - and had so much fun! If you know me, you know how much it means to me to get away for a few days and have a little smashfest . I loved sharing the joy and pain with my friend, Leslie . Here's the game plan and how it unfolded: Thursday Lovely 4 hour drive. We talk , talk , talk , and talk some more. And then continue talking all weekend. Triathlon girl talk and triathlon mom talk for hours. Leslie has been in the sport for about as long as I have - 10+ years - is married and has 3 kids. As you can imagine, there is lots to talk about. Loved it. We arrived just in time to hit the Chuckawalla trails in the fading sunlight. I was (almost) wishing I had come to r...
