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.

I bought “Pure creamed coconut” a year ago, and haven’t used it! Could I just add some water to it and blend it in coconut butter?
i’m not really sure what that is… :/
If it’s anything like what’s sold in Aus, “Creamed Coconut” IS coconut butter 🙂
Re: Vegas: if you wanna get off the strip, a mountain biking trip is in order. I am a novice while my husband is advanced and we got a guided tour which was perfection. It allowed my husband to bike ahead and do the advanced trails, while I really enjoy ed it and didn’t kill himself. http://mcghies.com/articles/mountain-bike-guided-tour-pg328.htm
Definitely give it a go!
Ummm yes. Will be making these for the post-1st crossfit session ever (Crossfit Harlem). Very excited and foresee demolishing quite a bit of these.
For Vegas, do a little research on the DJs who will be in town. Any big DJ like Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Morgan Page (new residency at the Wynn actually) all have residency or play on any given night. If you’re in a group with girls you shouldn’t have that much of a problem getting in the clubs (obviously be prepared for high priced drinks, basically all the negative things that come along with big clubs). Hey, if nothing else my sister lives there and it seems like every one of her friends is a promoter. E-mail if you need a hookup. I’m sure you’re ready to get your dance on.
These look great! But because of a severe nut allergy, I can not do the almond butter. What would you recommend as a substitute for that?
My wife and I love this site! Keep the great recipes coming!
you could use sunflower seed butter!
Thanks!
When are you going to be in Vegas!!? I’m going February 7-10! These comments are very helpful for me as well. 🙂 That would be totally rad to run into you there seeing as I live in Wisconsin and would never meet you otherwise. Thanks for the recipe, looks yummy!
Juli-
I’m a Vegas native and I have some recommendations for you.
Show- Michael Jackson One by Cirque Du Soleil. I’ve been wanting to see this show, everyone that has seen it raves about it and it’s set to MJ’s music so it has to be good.
Food- Pick your favorite celebrity chef and go to their restaurant. You really can’t go wrong anywhere you eat. Check out this resource for info on exciting Vegas restaurants.

Fun-After you’re done with the flash and the expense of the strip head to the Downtown casinos and Fremont street. Downtown is where the locals hang out besides the suburbs. East of Fremont street there’s a lot of cool bars .

http://commonwealthlv.com/ They have a nice roof patio and secret speakeasy room that sells prohibition era cocktails.
http://parkonfremont.com/ Outdoor patio is nice.

http://downtowncontainerpark.com/ Just opened and has some interesting shops and small food joints.

I hope I’ve been helpful and have FUN!
Just went to Vegas for the first time this past July with a group of friends to celebrate my 40th. Pathetic I know and since I have only been once wasn’t going to say anything as I little to go on, but we saw Rock of Ages and LOVED it. (It could also be that we are old folks and we loved all the 80s rock, but it really was a killer show.)
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m currently addicted to your chocolate coffee chia pudding…I keeping posting about it on instagram 🙂
Love, love, LOVE the Peppermill/Fireside Lounge. It’s north on the strip, past the Venetian. So campy and old Vegas. Huge drinks the size of fishbowls, and lotsa locals! I also recommend Hash zhouse a Go-Go in the Quad. Those chicken and waffles…
Lotus of Siam is in Vegas. It’s off the strip (way off) but considered one of the best Thai restaurants in the world. We always eat there no matter how long or short our trip is.
VEGAS: one word comes to mind…buffets. And lots of them! I ate myself stupid when I was there (not a drinker) and my favorite was Cesar’s buffet. Tons of paleo options. As for dress in Vegas…after I ate my way through it all I could fit into were yoga pants or maxi dresses. Ugh. Fatty and I loved it! Enjoy
sincerely,
your fan
