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!

Camping Trip - Big Sur - CA

Andrew Molera State Park - our paradise for a week After it became clear that we would most likely be in Utah all summer, I got a bit antsy and really wanted to go on a family vacation. We went camping in Moab in March and it was great fun. Since I am not training or racing, we might as well go on a road trip to California and camp by the beach for a while! Easier said than done because, of course, we were way too late to get any decent spot anywhere along the coast. Everything bookable was booked. We did a bunch of research and found a little campground in Andrew Molera State Park  that fit our (very small) budget and was first-come first-served. Perfect! So we mapped out a plan, loaded up the car, and took off for 10 days!  Not exactly traveling lightly. That road bike (mine) was solely for commuting purposes.  Traveling from Provo up to Salt Lake City and then west on I-80, our first stop was Donner Lake up by Lake Tahoe/Truckee. I love Lake Tah...

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...

July - Goodbye Provo, Hello Cedar City

Rock Canyon Park. Our backyard in Provo. In LOVE!  The husband got a job !  As in: He finished his PhD!  Dissertation successfully defended and published! That is a big  HUGE deal.  5 years at NAU in Flagstaff and 1 year at his parents' and we are DONE.  We celebrated by camping at the beach in California . It was perfect.  We were REALLY hoping for a post-doc in Europe but it wasn't meant to be. We tried and we got very close but in the end we ran out of time (and money) and figured Cedar City, Utah wouldn't be a bad place for our family. We moved JUST in time for school to start mid-August (although we had been paying rent since July) because no matter how ready you are to move on and finally be on your own again, it's hard - very hard - to leave Utah Valley . Far from perfect, it's one of our favorite places on this earth!  at the tippy top of Freefall We had season passes to Seven Peaks Waterpark (because the...
