Labor Day is For Laboring, Right? At Least It's Delicious!

I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to do this again, but I have to say that preparing a week's worth of meals is AWESOME!  



Morning snacks:
- hard boiled eggs, raspberry whole wheat pancakes, clementines

Lunches:
- whole wheat mac and cheese, baked chicken, and watermelon
- quesadilla, apple slices (rubbed with lime to prevent browning) and avocado (will be cut morning of, not pictured)
- turkey and cheese roll up, steamed carrots and hummus

Afternoon snacks:
- grapes and granola balls
- puffs and yogurt (not pictured)

Granola balls

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup almond butter (oil removed, only because I couldn't get it to mix so I opened up a new jar, poured out the oil and added butter)
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 TBS unsalted melted butter
2 TBS dark chocolate chips
2 TBS white chocolate chips
1 cup Evoke almond and raspberry Muesli.

Method:
Place all dry ingredients in a food processor.  Add the butters to the food processor to help everything combine.  Form bars or balls.  Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow it to harden.  ENJOY!!!!

**This actually ended up a little too sweet for me, so we'll likely add more Muesli and butter next time.  But, LQ loved them!
