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.

The Stratosphere used to have Bite, which isn’t there anymore (which blows, it was an awesome show) but now they have Pin Up, which looks amazing itself. I plan on making my husband take me there when we go to Vegas in June. Go be ridiculous and sit in on some weddings at one of the chapels! If you want to harass some bar staff and get harassed in return, Dick’s Last Resort at Excalibur is a good choice, but they are in no way Paleo.
I’m going to make a huge batch of these balls this weekend, just because I can!
Made these with my 5yo yesterday and he has eaten about 10 mini balls out of the freezer, gave some to a playmate today and then gave all of the rest to our neighbor up the street, to whom we delivered a mealtrain. Needless to say, I am making another batch as I type. Using mini choco chips this time as I think they will stay put better than the regular size. I also left out the coconut sugar, used a different vanilla protein powder and they were sweet enough. Thanks for a treat that I feel good about giving to my treat monster!
If you’re tired of all the glitz and glamour, head to the Fremont Street Experience. Lots of fun bars in the Fremont East district on the other side of LV Blvd. I recommend dinner at Le Thai and don’t miss out on the Atomic. They also have a Denny’s with a full bar, if you’re into that…lol.
I made these for my husband, who loves cookie dough. They were extra yummy. I did use a different protein powder and my blender apparently wont grind the coconut flakes into butter. 🙁 So i just added the ground coconut specks in. Turned out great! Is there any good reason why you use the protein suggested, over any other protein out there? I am in search for a good protein.
I forgot to mention that you can buy half price tickets to a lot of shows the day of the show at the Tix for Tonight ticket booths. They open at 10. There is one near the M&M store, one between the MGM and Planet Hollywood, and another at the Flamingo, I believe. If you buy tickets for another show the next day and bring back your ticket stubs, you get even more of a discount.
I’m with you on Vegas, girl. Do it up, but do it RIGHT. My last visit I ate my way through the town and hands down – Gordon Ramsay’s steakhouse in Paris. Worth the money. Best brunch – Border Grill in MBay. Best show? Absinthe. Trust me. Go. Have fun!
Yummmmmmmm! I decided to make these today, & quickly realized I was missing about half the ingredients. So, I used butter instead of coconut butter, regular white sugar instead of coconut sugar, sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter, & coconut flakes instead of chocolate chips. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to go for more of an oatmeal cookie type of flavor. And they are still awesome. So, I guess my rave review isn’t exactly for the recipe, but the ratios work for just about any combination of ingredients! Perfect. <3
These are sooooo good. I used ghee/coconut oil mix in place of coconut butter. Also made it into a log shape and cut slices. So good, in fact, that I wanted to make oatmeal raisin too. Just subtracted the choco chips and used quick oats, raisins, cinnamon…and a little extra liquid. Can’t stop eating the “dough.”
I dont know if anyone said it already but, I have heard that the blue man group is awesome, as well as any of the cirque de soloeil (sp!?!?!?) Also, go to the bellagio buffet for breakfast, it is amazing!!!! So many choices!!! Enjoy and have fun, Be sure to play roulette and craps too!!!
Yum! Easy breezy. A great go-to-grab instead of a cookie or candy when you need something sweet with substance. *note, I could easily pound the whole batch in one sitting, and I’m pretty sure an entire cup of protein powder in snack form shouldn’t be what I’m striving for. 😉
