Peanut butter protein balls are a great lunch snack. A cross between cookie dough and a power bar–how can you go wrong? We have been packing a few of these in our lunch bags all week for a perfect sweet treat in just the right size.
On a personal note, I have been furloughed as a federal employee for the past few weeks. I am struggling a bit with what to do with my time. I always think that if I didn’t have to go to work—I would spend all of my time on my blog.
Yet, here I am, not going to work and I still manage to fill my day with so many other things. Today, and the rest of this week, I am going to be recipe testing (and possibly even video making). I need to take advantage of this time!
My goal is to post at least once a day for the rest of this government shutdown.
Try them and let me know what you think!
