Last night was a Fair themed bunco night with the ladies. Homemade donuts, funnel cakes, corn dogs, curly fries, cotton candy and caramel apples. Oh...and they threw some grapes in there....lol Luckily I found out before hand what they were serving and brought my own food. I did have a caramel apple, but was able to get the majority of the caramel off of it.

Must say, I'm pretty proud of myself for not having any of the crap food....and really, not even wanting any of it!! Now THAT'S an accomplishment!! GO ME!!!

Emma, i took plain rolled oats and chopped them to a powder in the food processor, then added natural peanut butter and agave and blended all that together to get a texture that was easy to form into about 1 inch sized balls. i may have added a little almond milk, i don't remember... maybe some vanilla extract too. whatever is tasty to you! then i popped the balls in the freezer (because otherwise i would have eaten them all!). they are yummy alone as a snack or blended in with something.
