Poor Baby…

by agirlandhermutt on July 30, 2010

Guess who isn’t feeling too well? This little guy.

How sad is that face?! He was such a good boy at the vet, but he is just a big ol’ ball of nothing now that we are back home. This old boy does NOT like shots. I foresee a lot of treats and belly rubs tonight to lift his spirits.

For now…he sleeps.

I, on the other hand, had a lovely day. I started the day off with a stellar breakfast. I took a note from Gracie over at Girl Meets Health and made VitaTop French Toast.

I have to admit. I’m not a big fan of these VitaTop Corn Muffins all on their own. I’m not sure what the problem is, maybe the texture? Everyone I know loves them so I know I am in the minority.

I have a huge box of them so I figured I would give the french toast a go.

I soaked a VitaTop in a mixture of 1/4 c. egg beaters, a few drops almond extract, 1 tbsp Almond breeze.

Then I just cooked it in a pan for a few minutes. My final version is not nearly as pretty as Gracie’s, but it tasted great!

Definitely give this a try if you have the VitaTops around. It tastes great and is much better for ya!

It has been a long week for The Scientist so after work I decided to whip up a few goodies for him to snack on tonight. I wanted something easy, sweet and quick to make. Sure I want to make him smile, but I don’t have tons of time to make it happen! (Hey Scientist…these took FOREVER to make! Don’t believe everything you read.)

Hello Easy Peasy PBCs! Just in case PBCs=Peanut Butter Cookies

In the mix (Makes 20):
-1 cup peanut butter
-1/2 cup sugar
-1/4 cup egg beater
-1-2 drops vanilla extract

*Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. During that time, mix together the above ingredients with a hand mixer till smooth.

*This may have been a little messy. I get easily distracted and just a small look away can be quite disastrous. True Story.*

*Roll into 20 beautiful peanut butter balls and place on a cookie sheet.

*Take a fork and slightly press each ball down till a little flat.

*Place them in the oven for 6-8 minutes.

*Out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes.

*Plate them up and dare yourself not to eat the whole thing!

I did a little quality control and these passed the test. Must.Resist.Cookies!

Hopefully these start the weekend off right for The Scientist. If not, my weekend just got a little bit sweeter! Ha. ;)

I’m off to enjoy a nice sushi dinner and a movie. Have a great night!

Mmm, I love me some PBC’s! Poor Korky, I hope he feels better soon. I always feel SO guilty about taking my cats to the vet. They get so scared and are always exhausted afterward.

Aren’t you exhausted too?! The vet makes me so tired!

Thanks! He is feeling better today. I think he might have had a bite of a PBC. :)

Aww, I’m sorry he’s feeling down. I don’t like getting shots either, so I can sympathize. -puppy hugs-

Oooh, those cookies look amazing! So dangerous — peanut butter, gluten free, and ready in ten minutes? Oh yeah! :D
