Shrimp Wraps & Chocolate Chip Cookies


 I get to spend this week with my sissy! She is usually not a fan of my healthy food concoctions, but last night I told her I would make her dinner (a healthy one of course). She was shocked at how good these shrimp wraps were and she didn't even realize they were healthy! These wraps are so simple to make and are actually very filling.  These have also become a favorite dinner choice for Jack and I. We usually make these at least once a week. They are perfect for families that do not have a lot of time to cook or the single college student (was often times me) that is looking for a single serving meal.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb shrimp
2 lemons
1 can black beans
1 can chick peas beans
1 avacado
1 mango
lemon pepper
Salsa
100% whole wheat wraps (whole wheat listed as the first ingredient)

Directions:
1. Take the tails off the shrimp
2. Saute the shrimp in a skillet with the juice of 1 lemon and lemon pepper to taste
3. Drain the black beans & chick peas
4. Combine the black beans, chick peas, chopped up avocado, chopped up mango, juice of 1 lemon, and lemon pepper in a bowl.
5. Place shrimp, beans mixture & salsa on the wrap! Enjoy!



I then made my favorite cookies for dessert! These cookies are made with 4 simple ingredients. I have not had someone try them yet that doesn't love them. These babies are so good…. I may have overindulged a little. Whoops!

Ingredients: 
2 bananas
1 cup rolled oats
1 heaping spoonful of almond butter
1/2 cup enjoy life chocolate chips (dairy, nut & soy free)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Mash bananas
3. Combine all ingredients
4. Spoon cookies onto a greased cookie sheet
5. Cook for 10 minutes
