Dec 11 menu #517

Lunch:

Mostly leftovers

Falafel and mixed greens 

Snacks:

No bake white chocolate energy bites  - I didn’t like this recipe, mostly due to the high sugar.  Not only is there a whole cup of sugar (maple syrup), there are also sweetened dry cranberries and white chocolate chips.  I tried making this with only 1/3 cup syrup but the mixture was crumbly.  I’m assuming adding the whole cup of liquid sugar would have helped with this issue.  The flavor was ok, but my husband said it was a lot of oats.

Dinner: 

Fridge clean out
