I love snacks.
I love cookie dough.
I love chocolate chips.
I love it all. So I put it all in one. With a little protein powder to boot.
Stomach bug went away! Hallelujah. Not working out and napping most of the day makes JB feel like one soft gummy bear. Ugh, don’t you hate when I talk to myself in the third person? I sure do. Anywho, I’m back to my normal schedule without feeling like a sick gummy bear. Thank goodness. Everyone I know is getting sick lately. Hell, I was sick 3 times this season. THREE. And the season isn’t even over!! I think I only got sick once last year, but this season, the bugs have got the best of me. What is that about?
Moving on. Remember the other day, when I told you I was going to Vegas soon and asked for some advice about what shows I should see and what restaurants are the best? Well, luckily I got a few comments. But I still need more. A lot of people told me about off the strip stuff, which I’m sure is amazing, but to be honest, I want to be a tourist. I’ve never been to Vegas, so I want to live it up. Thankfully, I’m not 21 anymore, so I’m not looking to drink myself into a blackout, all while doing it as cheap as possible. I’m willing to spend a little money. So lay it on me people. Give me more places to visit.
I think my biggest stressor about Vegas is what I’m going to wear. I don’t really dress 21 year old slutty anymore. Now please don’t take that offensively if you’re 21. I’m speaking from my own experience. When I weighed 26 pounds and could fit into skin tight dresses. Well, that’s not really my style anymore. And I have more curves to work with along with some confidence. So what’s a girl to wear? Comfy shoes, obviously. But if I’m wearing comfy shoes, what do I wear along with them? Time to go shopping!!! Which means online. Obviously. Presents arriving at your doorstep is always the best plan.
That was an entirely pointless blog post. Kbye.

Your blog was just recommended for food ideas from WLC, so I’ve had a lot of fun reading through your recipes and can’t wait to start cooking.
For Vegas, you should absolutely go to Mon Ami Gabi. I went there twice and thought that their brunch was the best meal we had.
A great show is Mystère at Treasure Island: truly fantastic. If you are looking for a cheap and filling eat, they have a small Vietnamese restaurant you can head to before the show that makes a pretty good pho soup.
Enjoy Las Vegas!
How do I describe my love for these yummy protein snacks that taste like naughty cookie dough? They’re wonderful and a satifying snack due to the protein
Also, ordered Formulx at Juli’s recommendation and like the vanilla protein powder very much
Aimee, thanks for the support!
Just got back from Vegas Wednesday night, and wanted to give an update to my restaurant recommendations from a paleo pov.
Caesar’s had by far the most exciting buffet, we went for Sunday brunch.. It is quite expensive, but worth it. If you choose to do the 24 hour buffet pass, they are included, but have a surcharge.
We went to Caesars, Planet Hollywood’s Spice Market Buffet and the Rio buffet with our 24 hour pass, and decided we won’t do the 24 hour pass next time. Caesars was so good, that the others were a let down.
The other places I can recommend are the Bellagio breakfast buffet and the Lux Grand Cafe inside the Venetian. The Bellagio started switching over to lunch at 10:30, so if you go around 10:15, you can get a huge variety. At the Grand Lux Cafe, they had gluten free clearly marked on their menu, and the staff was quite knowledgeable about the options. I had a fantastic burger there, and a Godiva chocolate cheesecake! (They are owned by the same people who own the Cheesecake Factory.)
At Caesrs, we found a lady in the dessert area who is also gluten free, and she was able to let us know which desserts were okay.
So, we stayed gluten free, but not 100% paleo due to a few gluten free desserts, and I came home 2 lbs lighter 🙂 I assume it was from all the walking and that we only ate 2 times most days, even though they were big meals.
We went to see Vinnie Favorito at the Flamingo, he is hilarious, picks on the audience. He is not politically correct in the slightest, but manages to pick on every just the same so that it is funny.
Have a great time!
I don’t have any coconut sugar on hand, could I use a tabelespoon of raw honey instead? or would that make them runny?
they might get a little runny but you could add some shredded coconut to help bind it
If you haven’t gone to Vegas yet you should see Absinthe .. Its a small cirque show outside of Caesar’s… Really funny and actually affordable unlike some of the other shows!
planning on seeing that one!!
Thanks for posting this recipe! I had some chia and flax laying around so I added a sprinkle of each to the mix with a splash of water. They taste amazing!
Hi there – I made these last night and they are AMAZING! Do you mind if I post this recipe on my blog, with a link to your page, and a disclaimer that this is where I got it? Thanks!!
That’s totally fine! Just link back to me 🙂
I am so happy to find out that I can still eat my chocolate chip cookies in a healthy way!!! lol so I been in a detox for 21 days in the gym that I go, me and my husband are competing against each other and we are doing great so far. I been eating healthy no carbs and no sugars at all, but I still crave my cookies 🙁 (I’m known as cookie monster), but anyway I am so happy that one of my trainers told me to check this website! thanks for taking your time and posting this healthy ways of doing our favorites food.Im pretty sure that my husband is going to be so happy with this cookies since he likes his protein powders. I might become a Paleo follower now! God bless you !
Subbed in a hemp protein powder for whey protein (hubby is lactose intolerant). Also pressed into a pan for bar form. Melted chocolate with a T of coconut oil and spread on top. Worked well for us (esp as a 4x batch. 2 weeks of protein bars for 2 ppl!!!!!!!!)
Another spectacular recipe. This website has made our much dreaded transition to paleo very easy!!!!
Do you record the.nutritional facts for your recipes? I’m trying to track as much as I can and have a hard time figuring out macros on foods made like this. Tryst me, its not gonna stop me from eating them, love all your recipes 🙂
