Chocolate Chip Muesli Cookies

Have I mentioned that I have a major sweet tooth? I can thank my mom for that one. It was wasn't unusual to see her eating left over birthday cake or cookies with her morning coffee.
She would say "hey....I've got all day to burn in it off!"

Well, as Sara B Consulting principle #4 goes....Schedule snack times. Do not restrict, rather manage!
