I was thinking... surely we all have something cool we make that's quick and easy. For example, each week I made a batch of these... healthy... thingies... we call 'em Nudgies. They've got lots of good nursing stuff in them and satisfy my sweet tooth while providing oodles of fiber. Here's the recipe:
In one bowl, combine 3c whole oatmeal, 1c whole wheat flour, 1t baking powder, 1t baking soda, 1/3c whole flaxseeds, 2T pumpkin pie spice, 1T cinnamon. Stir together.
In another bowl, combine 1 big can 100% pumpkin, 1/3c healthy oil, 1/2c blackstrap molasses, 1/2c packed light brown sugar. Beat until well-mixed. Add in dry ingredients gradually. Stir in 1c walnuts or almonds, semi-sweet chocolate chips to taste. If you like, you could add dried fruit, but I hate it.
Spread in one 13x9 and one 9x9 or some combination of pans. Bake at 350 degree until a knife in the center comes out clean... or one nursing session.
Eat a bunch of them hot, then cut and keep in the freezer.
You can make it so flexible-- instead of pumpkin, you can shred a whole zucchini or squash, squish in a banana, use apple sauce and shredding carrots, etc. You can add any kind of nut, chip or dried fruit.
Anyways, they keep me going, and I can mix a batch in about 6 minutes while carrying Cleo. Anybody else got a good recipe?

.2 bags melted dark choc poured onto a cookie sheet with wax paper, fridge 15 min. 2 bags melted white choc (i melt all chips in microwave- 2 min for dark, 40 sec for white but you need to check ank stir the white every 15 sec or it will burn in places). Add 1 tsp mint extract to white choc. pour over dark choc. crush candy canes or starlight candies and throw on top while white choc is still warm.
