Almond Butter Zucchini Cookies

A Visit to Quadra in August = Zucchini
Now what to cook!
How about Cookies?
I usually make some healthy 'cookies' for my lunch
I don't want butter
I don't want sugar
I don't even want flour
I just want something a little bit sweet to go with a cup of tea sometimes
Is that too much to ask?
Of Course not!
My cookies usually include rice flour, egg whites and stevia
Pretty standard
But since I had Zucchini
and Zucchini bread is super fabulous
why not throw some in the mix
Here is the invented Recipe
If you make some you COULD throw a few raisins or Choc chips
maybe some nuts or things that you think 'MAKE' a cookie
I think for some people having some chocolate chips in a healthy cookie bring happiness
Feeling satisfied with your food is huge
Being on a Diet forever....not realistic
Making healthy changes to the way you eat should not be something that lasts a few weeks or months while you get 'bikini body ready'
This is just silly
You sort of need to find a way to eat healthfully....and that is just the way you always eat
Eating mostly healthy but eating the things you love too
This is how I would like to live
AND
This is how I would like my kid to understand how healthy eating works too
That feels right
