What I ate Wednesday(06/01/2016)

Hey guys!

Welcome to another what I ate Wednesday

Breakfast 
I had my coffee this morning with cinnabon creamer. I wasn't planning on having breakfast but around 9am I was starving. I decided to make 2 fried eggs on 1 slice of villagio toast ( which I Forgot to take a picture of)

Snack
For my snack I had a fibre 1 bar, which I have been obsessed with lately. They are so yummy, and they don't taste healthy at all. I had the Lemon flavor.

Lunch
I swear I have this every week, but I can't help it, my boyfriend is obsessed with homemade chinese food. I had leftover fried rice, and cajun french fries. I know this sounds like an odd combo, but I had a tiny amount of both. My boyfriend went to five guys lastnight, because I was at my parents' house, and he brought some home, and I have been dreaming about it.

 Snack
 For my afternoon snack I had a banana. Kayden was throwing a hissy fit all afternoon, since he got no sleep last night. I thought he was hungry, and gave him a banana, but he didn't want it. Like every other mom, I ate it.

 Dinner
 For dinner we had my boyfriend's delicious shepherd's pie!

Snack
 I did a short workout today, so I wasn't to hungry. As usual I had green tea and 2 dates. 

Lemon Cookies

Baking is a passion of mine. I love sweets and love having some sort of pastry sitting on the kitchen table, for people to walk by and nibble on, or just to gaze at.
This month is my boyfriend's birthday, and he loves lemon, so he wants lemon everything. This month i have dedicated every week to something lemon-y, and decided to attempt lemon cookies. 
These cookies are soft, brown on the bottom and gooey lemony goodness in the middle.


Ingredients 

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 egg
• juice from 2 lemons
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 2¼ cups flour

You can add a lemon icing on top, by combining powdered sugar and lemon juice. I didn't add this, because I changed the recipe and added a lot more lemon, so I did not feel as though the icing was needed.

Add sugar and butter and mix, then add the egg.
Add lemon juice, zest and vanilla
Add salt, baking powder and flour

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes ( 10 minutes was the perfect time for mine)
It made 36 cookies for me which were a teaspoon in size. After cooling you can add the icing on top.

I got this recipe from pinterest, which has worked out well for me in the past.
