Lactation Cookies to BOOST Your Milk Supply

If your a milk making momma and feeling low on your milk supply or need those extra calories, try these yummy lactation cookies that have worked for me.

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 c. butter (softened)
• 16 oz  REAL peanut butter (not the fructose corn syrup enhanced stuff)
• 1 1/2 c. Brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 T. real Maple syrup - optional (I did not add this)
• 2 t. Vanilla

Dry Ingredients

• 1/2 t. salt maybe 1/4 if you're using really salty butter
• 3. T Brewer's yeast
• 1 c. Flax seed meal (Grind the flax seeds in a coffee grinder for fresh taste.)
• 3 1/2 c. Oats
• 2 t. Baking Soda
• 1 c. Dark chocolate chips (or toffee, butterscotch etc.  I used dark chocolate chips.)
• 1 c. Almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degree F

1. Stir together butter, peanut butter and brown sugar till throughly mixed.

2. Add eggs and beat till mixed.

3. Stir in vanilla and maple syrup.

4. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

5. Use an ice cream scoop to shape cookies (because the recipe is flourless they are sticky and harder to from.). Press flat on cookie sheet before baking.

6.  Bake for 14-17 minutes (I like my cookies soft so I bake them for 14 1/2 min.)

7.  Pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy!

*This recipe made 3 dozen cookies so instead of making them all at once I put them in plastic baggies and make 4-6 at a time.

Thank you OrganicMamaCafe for this wonderful recipe.

XOXO,

Summer Time Dinner Party

  One of my favorite things to do is to host dinner parties with our friends.  If you can't tell I've become obsessed with blue and white and have started a little collection from the Raleigh Flea Market and other consignment shops around town.  At the end of the night one of my girlfriends introduced us to a hysterical game called Headsup.  You can download it on to your smart phone and it will be the best dollar you've ever spent.  I've also included my go-to salad recipe that is super easy to make and very yummy.

Strawberry Fields Forever Salad:

Two heads of boston or romaine lettuce

One 1/2 quart of strawberries cut into four pieces.

6 oz. of monterey jack chesse.  Shread fresh at home.

4 oz. of pecans.  Cook for 6 minutes at 350.

Dressing: BRIANNAS' Home style Blush Wine Vinaigrette Dressing

Pour dressing into a measuring cup and add 5 shakes of paprika and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.

  Stir and then pour on top of salad.

Enjoy! XOXO TheeInspiredMommy
