What's on your mind today?

@mshawski Your curiosity got me curious so I made the muffins this evening. The original idea was...
banana coconut muffins with chia and maple-coated almonds
...but why stop there? I threw in blueberries.
Happily only 100 calories each. Yes, exactly 100 calories.
I've mentioned in a few MFP posts that I'm not a recipe follower, per se. I consider them humorous suggestions and then make subs, adaptations and/or strange science experiments based on my whim of the moment. Therefore I won't bother to mention all the modifications I made to the source recipe...
Source: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/strawberry-coconut-chia-seed-banana-bread/
The ingredient list has yellow highlights for the items I wanted to finish/draw down in my fridge or pantry.

@MaltedTea - they look great! Whatโs your verdict on them?2

@MaltedTea - they look great! Whatโs your verdict on them?
Thanks! As for the taste...they're moist,cakey with blueberries that pop in your mouth and a crumb topping?! It's a winner for me lol
Since my recipe isn't really reproducible, the source link is a great place to start if you wanted to do a similar baking concoction. As you can see, the recipe is VERY malleable.2 -
@MaltedTea That looks so delicious!๐2

@MaltedTea That looks so delicious!๐
Thank you for saying so @oh_jackie
Slight correction, however: these are 117 calories/muffin. I forgot to list the 16th and perhaps most important ingredient which is flour lol "President's Choice All-purpose Gluten-free Flour Blend" to be precise.3 -
Some of you know that I was working on this afghan several months ago.... and I wanted to show off the finished product! My stepson retired from the USAF last month after 20 years and he loved it! :love He and my grands leave to go back home to Arkansas tomorrow.

@Mrs_Hoffer I don't normally read this particular thread but I love the afgan and the message! I am ex military and a lot of my classmates served a lot longer than I. At work we had what is known as red shirt Friday which is as a remembrance to all the active and reserve who keep us safe.5

Thank you for your service @SummerSkier.
I was recently introduced to red on Fridays as Remembering Everyone Deployed; my SIL and niece and nephew participate every week and post pictures for my brother who is currently deployed. It's a great little thing to support our military and thanks for spreading the word.3 -

Starting the Week off feeling Very Hopeful AND Determined to Succeed in reaching my Healthy Goals as well as some other Goals.
I made it to the 170s BARELY -at 179.8- I figure I'm at the stage in the journey where My body needs to catch up with wt. loss.
I realize-It will probably be a slower pace of weight loss now AND I am Committed to making the Adjustments -I got this-
