Titan Up!!!!

Mr. Clarcqs Physical Education

A huge Hello from me to you!

I am sitting here eating egg whites, a rice cake with pb and a huge shaker of H20.

I can't help but smile thinking of you all. You know, you hear so much about education and teachers but the reason I decided to go into this field was the individual personal stories we write daily with each other. You are ALL so important to me and I hope your are healthy and well!

So I decided to give this "Smores thing" a try. I will be adding some videos and pictures in an attempt to share how I am keeping busy, staying healthy and facing challenges head on.

Please drop me a email or a note and tell me how you are doing!

Hydration is the key!!!

Yes High Quality H20! I drink a gallon of water a day because it has so many benefits! I feel better overall with the hydration. I put a interesting link below from familydoctor.com. It truly is amazing what water can do.

Go outside or in your basement and do some stretching!

With the current suspension of gyms and fitness centers its important to keep the body moving and working like a well oiled machine. You can do these right in your driveway!!!

Hey...you have to enjoy right???

Healthy Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

2 cups oat flour (you can make this by simply grinding up oats in the blender until they’re powder)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
Pinch ground ginger (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup coconut oil, olive oil, OR unsalted butter, melted
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F). Line a muffin tin with paper or foil liners; set aside.
In a large bowl combine the oat flour, mini chocolate chips, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger (if using), and salt; whisk well to combine. In a separate bowl whisk together the maple syrup, eggs, oil (or butter), applesauce, and milk; mix well until thoroughly combined. Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until combined. The batter will be quite thin - not to worry!
Divide the mixture among the prepared muffins. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees (F) and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and allow the muffins to cool completely in the muffin tin. Serve at once or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. We love to freeze these, too. They'll last in a freezer bag stored in your freezer for 1 month.
