Lets be honest

Lets be honest we all say things that we don't do because we are busy and we forget or don't have time.  Lets be honest we all make goals that we don't always achieve.  Lets be honest life is busy.  So let me be honest stop making goals/plans that are  unrealistic at the time.. Sometimes we have to work up to things.  We don't wake up one day and decide we are going to go for a 2 mile run if we don't normally run we have to gradually work our way up.
 So I said I was going to do a photo challenge and blog everyday, but lets be honest that obviously didn't work.  Me getting up early enough to blog is unrealistic or coming home straight from work when I am only home for an hour and blogging is unrealistic.  From now on I will blog when I have time. :)
I promised you all some recipes last time I blogged so I will give them to you in this post.
Chocolate coconut granola bars.
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flaxseed ( I use a tad more)
1 cup oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions: Line a pan with foil
Melt your P.B, Butter, and honey low on heat ( I have also used agave) stir constantly and when melted move from heat
pour in your oats and flaxseed and stir
stir in coconut and chocolate chips.
Pour into foil lined pan and press into pan and let set in the fridge. Once firm cut into bars. 
* Anyone is bound to love these bars.  Delicious and taste like candy :)

 

Peanut butter or almond butter:  put as many nuts in your processor as desired and turn on and gradually pour in olive oil until it is to the consistency that you like. :) If you are used to store bought it may taste different but I think homemade is super delicious. For chocolate just add some unsweetened cocoa powder.

I also have been making salads in jars this past week and they are awesome! I just take the jar and leave the house and before I eat it I shake it and pour it in a bowl. taste amazing!

Here is what I do

Salad in a jar:

dressing on bottom

next anything juicy so I do the tomatoes

cucumbers

green peppers

mushrooms

spinach

lettuce

You can make any variation you like though here are some more variations. http://www.krystaslifeinfood.com/2012/04/mason-jar-make-ahead-salads.html

 

Well I think that is all I have time for tonight because lets be honest there are some more things I want/need to get done.  Usually Sunday nights/Mondays are my make ahead meals and lunches and breakfasts for the week.

Have a wonderful week and remember make goals/plans that you can do don't make unrealistic plans because then you feel like you failed and lets be honest who likes feeling like a failure..!? no one :) :)
