Day 9: Cranberry Delight Cookies. I actually made these for my DH’s work because they were doing an event to make cookie mix jars and needed someone to bake the actual recipe so people could test the cookie before they made the jar. I was actually very impressed with this recipe and am probably adding these to my cookie gifts this Christmas.

My DH even enjoyed them even though they have oats! Shhhhhh no one tell him there are oats in the cookie. He won’t eat it if he knows.

I made them bite-sized and I think they’re perfect like that.

Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

Let’s talk about breakfast for dinner, shall we? I will happily have eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for dinner. It has to be one of the easiest meals to make, but it’s always so satisfying. For dessert, I’ll eat a waffle doused in cinnamon sugar.

Breakfast for dinner is a lot more common than you think. Did you know that nine out of ten Americans say that they eat breakfast for dinner, with more than half of respondents enjoying breakfast night dinners once a month or more? Even when you eat a bowl of cereal in the evening, that counts as breakfast for dinner!

The folks over at Krusteaz have “Breakfast Night” every Wednesday night for National Breakfast Month (it’s September, by the way). It’s so easy to do with all of their tasty pancake and waffle mixes. I actually ended up using their Wild Bluberry Muffin mix to make one night’s dessert.   IMG_7726

I tweaked it just a bit to the ingredients that I had on hand. Instead of using almonds and cranberries, I threw in walnuts and white chocolate chips. I’m sure the original version is delicious, but man, mine were kick-butt-good.

You have to give them a try! Each bite just screams “breakfast.” The best part is they’re made using a mix, so it’s beginner friendly and great to make with kids. I made mine bite-sized, but you can also make massive ones if you only want to eat “just one.”

Overnight Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

Summer is among us, which means there’s plenty of fruit to be consumed! More fruit equals more summer recipes. My personal favorites are watermelon and mango. IMG_2891

Just in case you can’t get your fix of fruit, you can always drink the flavors through Sparkling ICE. It’s certainly “The Bold Side of Water.”

They come in seventeen different flavors, from Black Raspberry to Coconut Pineapple. My personal favorite would have to be Orange Mango (for obvious reasons.. mango!).  No matter what your favorite fruit is, there is something out there for everyone.

There’s a light fizz to every sip, perfect of those who crave the carbonation without the calories. That’s right, there’s ZERO calories in every drink! You don’t have to worry about losing your summer bod.

Sparkling ICE is actually giving fans a chance to win a year’s supply by competing against each other in the Flavor Face Off fan contest (No Purchase Necessary). In addition, you could get your face on a bottle, along with daily and weekly prizes. To register or to find Sparkling ICE near you visit sparklingice.com I get my bottles at Target!

As for the overnight coconut mango chia seed pudding, it surely is a beauty. Can you imagine diving in with a huge spoon? I loved using coconut milk and mixing it with fresh mangoes. I saved some for decorating on top, but let’s be real here…. the more mangoes, the better. The chia seed consistency is definitely an acquired taste and I’m still working on getting my taste buds there.
