I came across this recipe via my friend Andrea, via the following blog: I haven't been able to try it yet, but I envision it to be a pretty useful solution for breakfast on the go!
Power Balls Recipe
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup honey or agave nectar
3 cups (non-instant) oats
½ cup flaxseed (ground or whole flax seed)
½ cup chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
½ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots, dates, etc.)
½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc)
Mix peanut butter and honey until smooth. Gradually add in oats and flaxseed, then fold in the other ingredients. The Kitchen Aid works great for this. Then roll into ping-pong ball sized balls. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer. You can switch up the add-ins, just keep the total amount to 1 ½ cups. If you add more, the balls won't hold together. Also, beware of cutting down the honey. The honey really keeps it all stuck together.
Also, I've found a really useful website for those uninspired cooking nights:

You can enter the ingredients you have on hand, and it will spit out some new recipes to try! Perfect for a girl and boy in the midst of moving/trying to clear out the cabinets :)
