Please understand that I know these breakfast cookies may look a little ugly. I get it. But they taste awesome. Just a fact.
I miss Jackson SO much. I’m just leaving Austin this morning to head back home and kiss his face over and over until bites me with his little gremlin teeth. He loves to do that. And by the way, Jackson is my dog if you didn’t know who that man name was. He’s still a puppy, not yet a man. That could be a song.
So Austin was amazing. I’m going to do a summary post tomorrow about all of it, don’t you worry, but I can at least do some summarizing. I ate a lot. I hung out with awesome paleo people. Some people were annoying. I mean, it’s the paleo community. It’s full of intense hippies. You’re probably an intense hippy, aren’t you? Judging. Jk jk. I like the smell of lavender sometimes, too. Back to my point. I shopped a lot. I talked to a lot of people. I did a cooking demo. I drank barely any water. I spoke on a panel that I so did not want to speak on. I had more dairy then I’ve had in the entire year. I laughed so hard I cried. Twice. I packed my bag home with 4 chocolate bars. I went to an awesome CrossFit gym and did a super painful workout. I sweated into my eyes while working out. And I stayed in a super fun condo with 7 other people. The coffee table was a giant drum. No lie.
I’m so ready to be home. I made the bf send me multiple pictures every day of the puppy. He’s growing up so fast and I’m missing it all! I was hoping that by the time I got home, he would be perfectly potty trained. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to turn out like that. I think we will still have to work at it. Poor kid. He just likes to be independent and prove that independence through urinating where he pleases. That just ain’t gon’ work.
Speaking of ain’t gon’ work, I’m a bit annoyed with United Airlines right now. I usually stick with them because they tend to almost always have wi-fi, their flights have always been on time with me, and they have seemed to always have a decent amount of space in their planes. I was wrong. This time around, I was forced on one of their United Express planes that looks like it should be taking me from Denver to Colorado Springs, instead of all the way to Austin. They are so small that only a purse fits in the bin overhead and you can literally smell the breath of the person sitting next to you. And based on my experience on this trip, these little dinky planes do not tend to be on time. I’ve never really had a flight be late with United and then once I was lucky enough to ride on the United Express, all my flights were late. I feel like this happens because they are the little, nerdy planes so they get pushed around by the bigger ones and can only come out to play when all the bigs ones are gone. Well you know what United Express? You need to pull up your big boy pants and get your sh*t together. Meaning get rid of those planes so I can make it on time to my destination. Maybe it’s just time to pick a new airline. What do you think? What’s your favorite airline to fly?

These don’t look ugly they look flipping delicious. Is it possible to sub almond flour for the tapioca? Have all the other ingredients so will be trying soon.
You sound like a true mommy to your puppy 🙂 Weekend sounds awesome though and loling about intense hippies.
I made them with almond flour in place of tapioca last night and they worked out fine. They might be a bit heavier, but they were delicious. I also pureed the carrots because my kids like their cookies to be more uniform. Everyone had one for breakfast, and we all enjoyed them.
Ugly food always tastes the best 🙂 I’ve never worked with tapioca flour but might have to try!
Those look awesome! My kids are going to be so happy, and I’m happy there is no nut flour in these!
I used to always fly United too, but had several bad experiences (switched gates leading to missed flights, etc) and now I like to fly Southwest if I’m going somewhere they fly. No bad experiences with them yet, fingers crossed!
United is never on time, in my experience. Virgin is great when nothing goes wrong, but if it does, good luck– you are totally on your own. They’ll book you on a flight for the following day if they have a mechanical issue, and give you NOTHING for your lost day.
Of all of them, Delta is the best. They usually cost a little more, but their operations are usually very smooth, and if they get off track, they at least try to take care of you, and at least try to be polite.
Hey lady! These look amazing, just like everything else you make! I am trying to cut down on my sugar intake. Any ideas about how I could make these but with less sugar? Would the recipe still work if I just reduced it? You may not know but I thought I would ask!!!! Thanks for everything you do!!!!!
Look at someone’s comment below about decreasing.
I am not a hippie, but my step dad was. He didn’t go to Woodstock because he thought it was going to be boring…wtf? I made the easy Choc Almond Butter Cups yesterday…yummy! Amazing how easy it was to make Almond Butter. Yah!
Sounds like your trip was a complete success (kind of) and more importantly, these little cookies sound delicious. I am thinking breakfast tomorrow morning for sure!
Interesting..I’ve never had problems with United or United Express. Usually the little planes get you there faster because they fly faster. Delta is another good option in my experience though.
My husband has had terrible luck with United. I think the majority of flights he’s tried to take have been delayed or canceled. Southwest is our go-to–we both fly a couple times a month, and have had only a couple of problems in the past three years. They don’t have those tiny planes–they only use 737s, and I’ve only been on one lately that didn’t have wifi.
For domestic flights, I always fly Southwest!
