Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Oat Balls

Gluten-Free Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Oat Balls | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe
about now is when i join the chorus singing “i can’t believe it’s time for school to start!”
really, though, i can’t. school ended late here. i’ve never known independence day to follow so quickly after the end of school parties wrapped up. the up-side is we are still celebrating summer vacation here. but not much longer.
my big boy will be in 1st grade. his preschool and kindergarten years were spent in two schools each. that’s four schools in two years. suffice it to say, i’m so grateful he’ll be spending the whole entire year in the same school, and the one he spent the last half of his kindergarten year. hallelujah for familiar halls, familiar faces, and good friends as the year starts. he is an incredibly brave little trooper, but i know that not being the new kid (again and again and again) will help tremendously with those first days of the year.
it’s also time now for this month’s recipe redux challenge. because those ladies in charge are all mommas themselves, they know well the challenges of healthy breakfast and lunch options for kiddos headed to school. they have, therefore, challenged us to come up with a healthy small bite. something easy to pack away in a brown bag or carry easily in a lunch box.
truth be told, i’ve been eating these for breakfast. the oats provide a healthy dose of fiber. the almond butter adds stick-to-your-ribs protein. naturally sweetened with honey and a hit of omega-3 fats from the flaxmeal. zucchini… who can’t use a bit of veggies in the morning. and a few chocolate chips, because why not.
whether you’re popping them in the cooler bag for lunch or grabbing a couple on the way out the door, you may want to make a few batches to have on hand!

Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh that we made it through a whole semester of in-person school for my three kiddos.
•
Such effort, time, prayer, and intention went into that semester by teachers, administrators, parents and kiddos.
•
Thankful for a much earned Christmas break. And a time to celebrate the birth of the One who holds it all together.
•
And grateful too to escape for a minute into a grain-free Gingerbread Green House construction. If this is how you decompress too, then I see you!

I’m so obsessed lately with this song that my girls and I were singing it at the top of our lungs driving through school drop-off this morning.
•
It’s so fun and meaningful and emotional. And I love it.
•
Go give it another listen today. And I dare you not to sing along.
