This is a place for me to put my recipes that I grew up with or have newly discovered.
I have a cute little family that I cook for pretty much every day and
I want to start collecting all my recipes in one place, so here it is!

Snacks and other miscellaneous foods

My little sister made these for us while she was visiting.  They are delicious and even healthy!

They come from this awesome blog:

Enjoy!!

No-Bake Energy Bites
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.  (makes 18-20 bites)

***I have made these several times now and I always add another 1/2 cup oatmeal or so and I never chill the dough in the refrigerator-I just roll them out right away.  I find it dries out a little if you let it chill in the refrigerator and is much harder to roll into balls-but that could be from always adding extra oatmeal.

*****I have changed how I make these by doubling the oatmeal and adding 1/4-1/2 cup coconut oil.  They are also delicious with crunchy peanut butter.
