Pita Pocket

Not too long ago, while walking around Smith's, I came across these whole grain pita sandwich pockets. There are 6 in the package and at a 100 calories a pocket, it makes for low calorie meal. So I picked one up and decided we would try it. We've tried different things in them, but our favorite is grilled chicken, lettuce, veggies, cheese, and a little dressing. So I took some pics of Jared making his, just to show you guys what we do.

FURNKIES

I found this recipe last week, but had to wait until Sunday to make it so I wouldn't feel too guilty about eating it. Let me tell you, they are DELICIOUS! I found it off of the blog Sugar Bee - Craft Edition. It was love at first sight. We made it yesterday and shared it with Edie and Jaraun and kids. It was a hit. So I thought I would pass it on to you guys. Just notice it gives the recipe for cookie sheet size and 9x13 size. To make a 9x13, follow the parenthesis measurements.


FURNKIES

For cookie sheet (for 9x13 pan)
1 ½ C butter (1 C)
1 ½ C sugar (1)
1 ½ C brown sugar (1)
3 eggs (2)
1 C peanut butter (2/3)
1 ½ tsp baking soda (1)
¾ tsp salt (2/3)
1 ½ tsp vanilla (1)
3 C oatmeal (2)
3 C flour (2)

Topping (approx only!):
12 oz choc chips
1 tbsp Peanut butter (after the chocolate chips, just mix the pb and ps in a bowl and add
3 tbsp powdered sugar milk until its smooth enough to drizzle over top.)
Milk for desired thickness


Mix ingredients. Press into pan.
Bake 350° for 20-25min (longer for 9x13 pan).

Turn off oven, remove pan – quickly pour choc chips evenly over bars – put bake in oven for 1-2 minutes. Remove, spread melted chocolate. Drizzle peanut butter icing over top. Cool.
