Gluten Free Almond Meal Chocolate Chippers & Happenings

ah! Still stinking at blogging! Finally back with a general update, a recipe, and information about an awesome fitness gear giveaway. First off, Josh has been traveling a ton. We’ve missed him and are spending our whole weekend enjoying time with him. After I taught Body Step this morning, we headed to the aquarium:

 

 

 

 

 

We are planning on a chipotle or qdoba dinner tonight and then college football! What have you been up to today?

I mentioned in my last post that I tried out a recipe for almond meal chocolate chippers and they turned out just OK. I made this recipe instead and really love the results! They’re not too sweet and are a little cake like:

 

On a side note, you know I love Ellie fitness apparel.  Well, they’re having an awesome giveaway for a free Ellie outfit and yoga DVD set! Go enter!!

 

 

Cookie-palooza

Hello and happy weekend! What have you been up to? Last night, we hung in and had taco salads. This morning, I taught Step, cleaned a bit, and am getting ready to nap (while Kay naps) and learn choreography. We are headed to a happy hour and wedding tonight.

Thank you all for your awesome cookie suggestions! If you need to bake a batch of cookies, check out my last post for suggestions.  I ended up baking three new-to-me recipes for our gym happy hour. Based on Christina’s suggestion, I made Alton Brown’s the Chewy:

Delicious! Fluffy and yummy.

Based on my BIL’s girlfriend’s suggestion, I made these gluten free almond meal coconut chocolate chip cookies. The taste is great, but I had a little trouble with the cooking time on these….I think I’ll do them on parchment next time and make the cookies smaller:

and based on Brittany’s suggestion, I made these pumpkin snickerdoodles:

These are SO darn good!

The chewys and pumpkin snickerdoodles are party bound!

 

Enjoy your weekend!!
