Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Breakfast: Chocolate Cashew Balls

1/2 cup Oats
 3 Tbsp flax seed
3 Tbsp Coco Powder
Process until oats mixture is a course flour consistency.
I pour this mixture into another bowl so I can combine the next set of ingredients separately, but you don't have to. 

4 whole, pitted Dates
I pre-chop them otherwise they stick to the blade in the food processor too much. 

1 cup raw cashews
Process dates and cashews until you have fine crumbs. 

2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 tsp. Vanilla
Sometimes I mix them in a little bowl first, sometimes I add them right to the food processor.
 It doesn't make a difference. 

Add the oats mixture to the cashew/sweets mixture and process until everything is well combined and clumps together.
Take out the blade (a lesson I learned here ) and roll the mixture into ping-pong sized balls.
You can mix in chocolate chips- I think its easier to just put a pinch of chocolate chips into the balls as I'm rolling them.

They are delish! They are also easy to flavor in lots of different ways. Add some coconut. Leave out the coco powder and add cinnamon. Really, you can do a lot with these. 

Lunch: BLT

Toasted sour dough bread.
I put a little mayo on. Dan likes to tease me about not being able to even taste the mayo because I put hardly any one. It's true- I can't really even taste it :) 

Add some lettuce. I used boston butter lettuce today. 

Put on some tomatoes. 

Pile on the bacon. Most important step :) 

Mmmmmm!

Dinner: Spaghetti Squash with meat and sauce

Preheat oven to 350ish.  I put some foil over these guys to keep in the moister. Keep them in the oven for about 45 minutes or until you can easily pull the squash apart with a fork. 

Add some pasta sauce and some ground meat. Mix it up and top with a little parmesan cheese. 

This is the sauce I used. It is SO good and made of good ingredients. I also like that we had squash with squash sauce for dinner :)
