These Bourbon Pumpkin Protein Balls have all the warm spices you love in a pumpkin pie, but keep it more-or-less clean to satisfy your pumpkin-loving sweet tooth in a healthier way.

It’s that time again…
No, not THAT time.
Back to school. Even if you don’t have kids you’re trying to hustle out the door, you probably have to leave a little earlier thanks to the additional school traffic.
I’m blogging over at Farmer Direct today with 5 Make Ahead Back-to-School Breakfast Ideas. It’s round up of ideas from fellow bloggers… a few even involve oats in a crockpot. Who knew THAT was possible?!

There are very few meals I repeat.
So much to experiment with, so little time…
Egg white oats are one of the chosen few things I keep in steady rotation. Egg whites in your oats may sound strange to some of you, but I swear it’s good. #strangebutgood
You really don’t taste the egg whites at all – even Vegas will attest to that. What you CAN taste is the fresh fruit and creamy oats. I used mango and blueberries, but you can change it up depending on what’s in season.

I’m done playing.
For the most part.
We have survived our first year of marriage. We’ve eaten basically anything we wanted, had many toasts, and celebrated to our heart’s content. After a year of playtime, we’ve agreed it’s time for a year of health. This year is about travel, adventure, and being in top shape to do it all!
But first, a last meal.

The fun part about moving is using all the baking supplies.
Flour, and sugar, and buttah…. oh my!
I made Cat’s browned butter cookies for the gym crew. Then I did the Fudgy Brownies that Juli linked up to last week’s #strangebutgood to have as road snacks for Vegas and me. For ease, I made them as peanut flour-dusted balls (and because balls).
Next up is my own concoction – Oatmeal Jam Cookies. Jam may sound strange… but – in fitting with the Friday theme – it’s good!*
*Don’t take my word for it – my boss said it’s one of the more delicious things I’ve ever brought in to work. The he asked if I used “real” butter.

As you have probably figured out, I am always on the go.
It’d be a shame to stagnate.
Whether it is traveling to the next exotic location or just running around town, I don’t sit still for very long. Unfortunately, this can mean grabbing something unhealthy to eat on those forays in my car. Granola bars, fruit, and raw veggies can only carry you so far. And what happens when you don’t feel like lugging along a cooler to keep things like Greek yogurt cold?
If you’ve been reading very long, you know I need variety! Anyone else looking for healthy (and delicious) snacks that don’t need refrigeration but are not the same old same old? I thought I’d share some of my stand-bys today.

Have you ever eaten warm banana?
Think pie… bananas foster… breads.
When you bake a banana it becomes a gooey, caramel-y treat. You don’t even need to use sugar. Like in these muffins.
I’m not one to take the time to make a baked oatmeal in the morning, but I love having it for breakfast. Especially as it gets colder outside! Bake it in advance and you have a delicious instant breakfast, portioned out perfectly. That’s the idea behind these.
