Almond Joy Cookie Balls / Weekly Recap

March 10, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday!

Today I have a full post for, you let me tell you, lots to read here today, so get your morning coffee, sit back and relax.  First on the list is today’s recipe.

Almond Joy Cookie Balls

 

These are my Almond Joy Cookie Balls.  They taste just like an Almond Joy Candy Bar!  I came up with this idea with a cookie I made this week, but it was a fail!  They tasted super good, but they kind of flopped on me.  I realized from the taste of them, if I omit the egg and some of the almond flour, I could have a good raw cookie on my hand.  So I gathered my ingredients and came up with the perfect Almond Joy Cookie Ball, which is gluten-free, vegan if use Sunspire Chips and super perfect.  Want to see what the first batch looked like?


Almond Joy Cookie Flops

See what I mean?  They flattened right out!!  But they tasted good!  I ended up throwing them out because I could easily find myself eating all the pieces.  They turned out like really, really thin Lacey’s.

Almond Joy Cookie Balls

I thought making these in raw version would be even better and they are!  They are made with Coconut Oil, that I picked up from Trader Joe’s, coconut, extracts, almonds, dark chocolate shavings and stevia!  My Husband is afraid of my raw cookies, because he isn’t to keen on them, but he said they are really good!  Yah!  I think they are pretty good my self.  I love Almond Joy’s and it’s nice to know I can have a healthier version!

Almond Joy Cookie Balls

Do you like the little basket from the first photo?  I picked them up in the dollar bin at Target.  I think the baskets are perfect for these little balls and would make a nice Easter Treat.  Or if you like you can also put the balls in little muffin cups.  They are just the cutest little cookies!

Almond Joy Cookie Balls

Making these cookies are a breeze!  You just mix everything together in a bowl, I used my hands, shape into tight little balls!  When you bite into them, they are super soft, which surprised me because they felt kind of  hard on the outside.    If you want to take these balls one step further, you could also dip them in chocolate.  But I skipped that!  I’m kind of lazy today!  I stayed out past my bed time and I am beat!

Almond Joy Cookie Balls

I have to share with you a treat that I got this week from my Friends over at Chobani!  I was so excited when I got the package.  I had no idea that this was coming!!!  I just love my Chobani!!

Chobani Flips

 

How nice is this?  They sent me a shipment of their newest Chobani Yogurt, which are called Flips.  It’s flavored yogurt, with a cup of granola on the side.  Plus they also sent me a t-shirt, Chobani spoon and the nicest hand written letter.  Here is a picture of the Flips.  I have to say, these make an awesome breakfast.  My favorite so far is the strawberry and the Almond Coco Loco!  Dam they are good!  I don’t know if they are in the store yet?  I haven’t seen them, but I’ll be looking.  Speaking of Chobani, here is a link for some coupons that I spotted on their website.

Chobani Flips

I also have to show you the spoon they sent, so cute.  My Husband asked if he can have it for his coffee.  Umm, no!  He doesn’t even eat yogurt!  Silly man!

Chobani Spoon

Thank you Chobani for sending me this most awesome little package!!!  🙂

Now for the next thing to share with you.  I am going to be in a virtual 5k Challenge through Mamavation.  Have you ever heard of Mamavation?  They are an on-line community of Mom’s dedicated to obesity prevention.  I love the group!  Out 400 people who applied for the challenge, they picked 25 bloggers and I was one of them!  I am excited and scared at the same time.  I am not a runner and this will be my hardest workout challenge ever.  I ran 2 miles in 26 minutes the other day and my legs were sore for two days.  I can’t imagine running 3.1 miles, but I am sure going to try!   The virtual 5k challenge is on March 30th.  They give you a 3 week training program to help you along.  Plus participating I got the new OMRON Strapless Heart Rate Monitor to help push myself further!  I know I can do it!  I just have to try and give it my all!  The first day of training starts on Monday.  I thought I would share with you what my training program looks like.

5k running challenge workouts

Pretty scary!!  Especially for someone who can speed walk her way through a grocery store or shopping mall, but not in a virtual race!  Eck!!  But I am excited to try the OMRON Strapless Heart Rate Monitor.  The heart rate monitor I have now has a strap that goes across the chest and I spend more time fixing it, then I do working out.  It’s so annoying.  Since I got the watch on Friday, I haven’t had time to play around with it, but I will this Sunday.  What is also cool about this watch is that you charge it on your computer and you can upload your runs on OMRON Fitness’s Dashboard so you can see how your coming along.  I’ll be posting my workout stats on Facebook and Twitter, so watch out for them.  I can’t really give you to much more information on the watch, since I haven’t actually used it, but I’m pretty excited too!  You can check out OMRON Fitness Facebook page or website for more detail.

OMIRON Strapless Heart Rate Monitor

Next on my list is Trader Joe’s!  I went shopping there this Saturday and I picked up some new items, which I will put on my Trader Joe’s page.  All of this cost me $118.  I was low on groceries.

Trader Joes Grocery Bag

Since I did a little shopping at Trader Joe’s, I thought I would share with you a few Trader Joe sites I found.

The first one is of course Trader Joe’s website.  They have a Gouda Cheese that is made with pesto and it’s a funny green color.  I saw it at the store but didn’t look at it because of the color, but now I wish I got it.  They had a recipe for pretzels with the green Gouda Cheese, which is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.  Plus they have a little video on how to make the pretzel shapes.  I thought I would share the link with you.

New Zealand Cheddar

Remember last Saturday when I posted the link for HuffPost Taste on Trader Joe’s products and the comparisons to famous name brands?  Well this week, they did a taste test on these products.  I love reading this kind of stuff, so I thought I’d share that link with you.

I finally remade my Healthy Shamrock Shake.  I wasn’t pleased with the pictures and since it’s St. Patty’s time, my photos have been popular and I’m kind of embarrassed of them.  These pictures aren’t great, but it’s better then what I have, so I’ll be changing them out on my original post soon.  Here’s my newest photo.  By the way, my Husband had his first one today and he liked it, but I did go light on the mint for him, since he’s not a huge mint person like me!

Healthy Shamrock Shake 061a

 

I had other things to share with you, but honestly, I’m getting super tired and I still have to make dinner and do a Target run!  So I am going to share with you this weeks recipe recap.

Sunday:  Mini Lime Cheesecake Bites #SundaySupper – I personally think these little cheesecakes are simply adorable.  The lime cheesecake part is so creamy and delicious.  I like the oat crust, but next time I think I will run to the store and get some graham crackers for the crust, since I like that best!

Mini Lime Cheesecake Bites

Monday:  Chocolate Brownies with Peanut Butter Swirl – I loved these brownies and so did everyone else.  Honestly, no one knew they were black beans, even my co-workers.  These are very rich and decadent and are perfect for anyone who loves chocolate.  One of my readers said she made them, took a bite and decided since they were so rich that she would make truffles with them.  What a great idea.  This is what she said she did:

Chocoholic

Submitted on 2013/03/07 at 4:45 pm

These were great! I made a few changes to the recipe though.

Instead of adding the peanut butter swirl on top, I baked the batter as is (without the chocolate chips because I didn’t have any on hand), and when they came out of the oven, I allowed them to cool before sampling a small piece. They reminded me more of dense, fudgy truffles than of brownies, so I decided to make them into truffles instead.

I mashed them up, using a fork, when they were completely cool. Then, I made them into spheres using a small scoop (probably equivalent to two tablespoons), rolling them in my hands so they were completely packed together and round. I then melted in the microwave some peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk to make a glaze and dipped each “truffle” into the mixture. They taste like a more decadent version of Munchkins!

Great idea, don’t you think?

Black Bean Brownies with Peanut Butter Swirl

Tuesday:  Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie – I love this smoothie, it’s simple, healthy and perfect for an afternoon break!  I had this smoothie a few times this week and I made one today too  I kind of get stuck on stuff and I have it over and over, until I’m bored with it.

Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie

Wednesday:  Wallaby Greek Yogurt Giveaway – This was a new yogurt to me and I was pretty impressed with it.

Wallaby Greek Yogurt

Thursday:  Buffalo Chicken Panini Sandwich – I love this sandwich!  This is my go to sandwich when I don’t know what to make for dinner.  I LOVE anything Buffalo chicken style, which you may already know from past posts.  I just wish I took better pictures.  I can tell the sun is changing because my normal photo area is now an odd color during dinner time.  I guess I’ll have to eat dinner a little later so I can get better photos.

Buffalo Chicken  Sandwich

Friday:  Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars –  These bars are amazing!  They are so simple to make and is perfect for a lunch time snack.  My Husbands friend told me he really enjoyed them.  My Husband who doesn’t care for peanut butter or oats, said he liked them too and enjoyed having something different in his lunch!  I was shocked!

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Bars

Saturday:  Thin Mint Cookies – These babies are my new favorite cookie!  I can’t get over how much they taste like Girl Scout Cookies!  They were a hit at home and at both our works.  I can see making them very soon!

Thin Mint Cookies

 

Well my Friends, time to get going.  My Husband said he was ready to go to Target and Lowes.  I’m finally getting some material to make a photography bored.  I hate the white cardboard that I am using now.  So I’m excited for this project!  I wonder if I can talk my Husband into making it for me?  he he  I better buy him some steak, then he’ll do it!!  lol

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Toodles!

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Fresh Pasta with oven roasted Tomatoes.  I have been on a past kick lately!

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

I decorated it with items that I use on a regular basis in my kitchen, plus pretty little items. Oh and that cute cement pear also came in the March decor box.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.

This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering

Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
