Monkey Munch & not much else...

So because Babydaddy was home, we spent today playing catch up, and not much else got done in the workout department. :P I do love it when BD is home during the week though...and I know the boys love it too!

I started out the morning with my cup o' joe...in my new travel mug, courtesy of BD! Its from the schoolhouse he's currently stationed to...I love putting my coffee in insulated mugs, it stays warm so much longer. :)


BD was in charge of cooking breakfast, as he always is when he's home...it was a nice and greasy bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich! Oh so healthy! :P

As an afternoon snack I had a carrot cake Clif bar...tastes like the real thing...soooo good! :)

After our trip to the grocery store I decided to make some monkey munch...such a YUMMO snack! I originally got the recipe from Kate Gosselin, of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame, and I blogged the recipe last year...
Work in progress...
9 cups of Chex mix...now gluten free!

1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of butter, & 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract...

Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, & butter; add vanilla, and stir into Chex...

Take mixture and dump into a large bag full of 1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and shake until coated...
And voila, moneky munch! My kids love the stuff...and so do Mommy & Daddy. ;)

For dinner we used the leftover steak to make steak quesadillas...

No workout today...BD's eye is still bothering him so I didn't want to leave him home alone with the kiddos...I'll catch up tomorrow! Now I'm off to fold laundry and clean up before the big announcement on Jon & Kate Plus 8!! Good night everyone!
