It is officially summer in Arizona! We broke record weather this weekend. Almost 110 yesterday! I am so not ready for this heat, but it's here and probably here to stay. What's a girl to do? Stay inside and bake of course! Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Breakfast Cookies!!!!
This weekend was a relaxing one. We've had a lot going on the last few weekends so it was nice to have a weekend with no events or places to be except at home. I was able to catch up on random work, sleep and time with my guy.
Speaking of which, we woke up early Saturday morning for a hike. A few weeks ago I told him "I wanted to go hiking," which was secretly my way of motivating him to get active. He used to go to the gym all the time, but has fallen off the wagon. Now, every Saturday he just knows we're going on a hike and has discovered he likes it.
I can't say I liked it that much this weekend when we encountered a rattlesnake. I heard something buzz, turned around and spotted it hidden under a rock close to the trail. Of course, he had to get up close to it for a picture. NO THANK YOU!
After that, I practically ran down the hill. I could not get off that trail soon enough. I'll probably be the one he has to motivate to hike now. I think I'm safer in the gym or even better, in the kitchen!
These Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Breakfast Cookies are an oldie but goodie. I forgot how delicious these cookies were. The guy had a ton of lemons that a patient gave him and wasn't sure what to do with them.
When life gives you lemons (literally and metaphorically), you can either put them in a bowl or you can make cookies and I choose cookies. Especially when they're silky, creamy and only 67 calories each. Wouldn't you?

Hope you recover quickly. These look so awesome that I couldn't resist sharing on twitter. I'll pin them for later, too. Thanks.
Thank you, Barbara! Enjoy the goodies!
Oh Megan, you just can't win! Even if your body is freaking out, these cookies looks seriously amazing.
Thanks Brooke! It is what it is. Sometimes you can't control the things that happen to you and I keep believing it's for a good reason.
When can I expect my order to arrive? Wishing you a speedy recovery and back to feeling 100% awesome. Have a wonderful weekend Megan. xoxo
I can arrange for that!
Oh Megan ... you are definitely due for some good luck and healthy days ahead! And bring these muffins with you! 🙂
Food is good for healthy they say!
Dessert is good anytime of the day if you ask me! And I am obsessed with all things blueberry. Muffins, pancakes, scones... blueberries just make breakfast so much better 🙂
Blueberries are so good in any dessert. I don't know what it is, but they are!
So sorry you are having so many problems, I pray for a speedy recovery!!! I love blueberries. I grew up in Pennsylvania and we had a ton of blueberry bushes. I would sneak down and eat them until I got sick. My mother would ask if I was in the blueberry bushes and I would say "no" with a blue face and mouth. Thanks for the recipe. Have a great day

Wow! If I had blueberries nearby I would be constantly baking with them. They're my favorite thing to bake with.
Always cookies. Blueberry and lemon = on of my favs!! So glad you went to the doctor, it's always nice to know why you feel so terrible. I'm very interested in ear therapy as well, definitely something to ask Dr. Google about! Hope you start feeling more like yourself sooner than later chick!
Yes! I was already on Google investigating. It looks like it's all about balance exercises. Maybe it will help with my feet issues. My balance is horrible!
These look great! I love the lemon/blueberry combination.

Glad you like them. Thanks for stopping by Coco!
Oh Megan I am so sorry to hear about the concussion. I've had quite a few actually and they are no fun. Mine have really only lasted maybe a week or two though. Here's hoping yours is over real soon.
Thanks Daisy. I think my body just has too many things to heal which is why everything is taking awhile. I'm hoping this nightmare is over with next month once I get off crutches. Some days are better than others. Yesterday I felt horrible, but today I'm a little better. I just take the good days when I can.
Oh, Megan! You know what? I'm not really that surprised. That all makes so much sense. My mom had a terrible riding accident that left her with (among other things) a few fractures and concussion and I remember her being very tired and sleeping a lo. It is like when we are sick--our bodies need the rest to recuperate. And the other issues coming up don't surprise me either. When my mom was healing, other issues kind of kept popping up: you body triages the situation, and as things heal, it is able to deal with the other issues.
Sounds like this car accident was a lot big of a deal than anyone knew. I Stay strong!
It makes sense now. I couldn't understand why I have been sleeping so much. That's a good way of putting it "the body is triaging the situation." My doctor said I should be feeling better next month so I guess I just need to keep resting. It's hard because resting is so not in my personality, but I know if I don't my body is going to shut down more and I'm going to need my strength next month when I get off crutches and learn to walk again.
I'm the only one in my family who isn't a Sweet breakfast fan so I make a lot of muffins and breakfast cookies and then for me they wind up a snack. And I'm a blueberry lover all the way 🙂
Sounds like a win to me!
