I fulfilled two Things I Need to Do More Often tonight!
First, I posted an Operation Beautiful note per TINTDMO #11:
I wore my hair in a new style per TINTDMO #9…. side pigtail! Maybe I’ll be more adventurous with my hair from now on! It wasn’t SO scary.
Continuing Breakfast Day, I had an omelette with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and a few Everything Crackers for dinner:
These were great!
For dessert, I made Montana Whoppers, a recipe by Michelle. After Meghann baked them earlier in the week, I have NOT been able to stop thinking about them! I hardly ever bake in the middle of the week, but this was totally worth the effort.
I replaced some of the peanut butter with Barney Butter almond butter (I’m not a huge PB-cookie person) and instead of chocolate chips, I mixed in sweetened coconut.
Highly recommend these cookies! I am bringing these cookies to the running group tomorrow AM to give some away. 
Snacks included a crushed Kashi TLC bar with yogurt:
Cashews:
Toast with PB around 5 PM:
Green Monster (spinach and almond breeze) around 6:30 PM:
The Office is on! Thank goodness for decent television again!

Operation Beautiful
I've been dreaming about those cookies since I saw them on Meghann's blog too! Now I'm going to have to break down and make them!
I'm so excited for The Office, too! Yay for good fall TV to start again.
Those cookies look amazing. I never bake- ever. But all of you bakers are starting to inspire me… maybe I should buy some flour and a rolling pin?
Also, your hair looks super cute in a pigtail- in my humble opinion!
Oh, man…those Montana Whoppers look too good to resist! I guess I'll be baking this weekend!
We got this email today about a holiday cookie swap (I guess instead of a party, ugh) and my mind immediately went to those cookies.
Those cookies sound great! I loved your breakfast day theme, I need to do that soon, breakfast is my favorite
YAY for The Office! If possible, I love Pam & Jim more after that episode
I have been thinking of those cookies for days! My husband Matt is off tomorrow and I have left all the ingredients for them on the counter with the hope I come home from work with homemade cookies!
thanks for mentioning the office! Since I am on the west coast i can still watch it I would have forgotten otherwise! and I am happy because project runway is on at 10 now so I can watch both!
Your hair looks super cute! Great way to round out the day of bfast foods
Yummy cookies
I've also been wanting to make those cookies! Now I may just have to! I like the substitutions you made and may try them that way.
I decided to have a day of breakfast….after seeing your waffles this morning, I couldn't help myself!!
I saw those on Meghann's blog too and I'm making them this weekend! They look TOO good!
Did you have to chill the dough like it says in the recipe? Or did you just skip it?
I LOVE your hair like that!! Now I just have to figure out how to do it myself.
Oooh those cookies look fab! I want one!
That hair style looks very pretty on you
Gaaah I made those tonight too!! They're actually chilling right now in the fridge, but the dough was delicious! Super full now
Chelsea – I dropped the dough in the freezer for like 10 minutes, but that's it. I'm a cheater!!
thanks for the hair compliments, everyone
I really need to try these cookies! They look incredible!
Bah!! Why the hell is Montana still getting credit for the amazing midwestern-born Monster Cookie? Screw you Montana! ;D
Neely – LOL i miss you! we need to hang out.
those cookies look great!
i like how you substituted some of your favorite things in!

i made these today, too, lol. big hit in the household
Yummy, omelet, I love them so! And, the yogurt bowl looked good too. =) Laura
P.S. I like the side ponytail, I do that often, my hair is quite long and it works great in the summer.

Caitlin, I stop by to read your blog a few times a week and you are looking prettier every time I stop by. I don't know if you are wearing makeup in the photo above, but you look gorgeous and your hair is adorable like that! It really makes me wish I still had long hair so I could copy it
I want to make those cookies immediately. they look so good!
