yes. COOKIES!
in my books these are healthy and delicious... even though they're cookies.
what you need:
3 large ripe bananas (i used 4 smaller bananas out of the freezer)
2 cups quick oats
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup raisins (i didn't use these because yuck they're like little mushy brains)
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup skim milk (i used homo because thats what i drink)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
what you need to do:
preheat oven to 350
mash bananas
add everything else and mix together until incorporated.
let sit at least 5 minutes so the oatmeal can soak up the goodness
drop onto cookie sheet in tbsp portions and flatten slightly
bake for 15 minutes.
easy peasy!
and they are delicious... kinda like banana bread and oatmeal cookies had a love child.
AND you can have cookies for breakfast!
BONUS.
hugo loves them (i made him some without the chocolate chips)
next time i think i'm going to add chia seeds in the mix as well... and coconut. because i love coconut and i think it will be even tastier!
hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
a mish mash of things i stumble across and updates of my day to day life mixed in with my ramblings. just throwing it all out there. enjoy!

tasty tuesday i'm done with you!
i think that from now on i am going to post tasty recipes whenever the hell i feel like it! i can't count how many times i have though about posting a recipe but its not tuesday and i hate pre writing my posts... and then completely forgot about it by the time tuesday rolls around.
here's one that i had a hard time believing.
it seemed too good to be true... too easy to be real...
super easy peanut butter cookies
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar.
thats it.
seriously.
preheat oven to 325
mix all 3 ingredients together with a spoon until well blended.
roll into 24 balls (i was lazy and just dropped teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets. they were just fine. no fork marks but i didn't really mind.
bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned
when you take them out of the oven you can put a piece of chocolate on top or leave them plain... whatever you like! let cool on sheet for 5 min and remove to wire rack to cool completely.
i didn't know what to expect with this recipe when i tried it but they are already half gone so i guess its safe to say YUM!
PS.
i did not use the full 1/2 cup of sugar. it was closer to 1/4 cup.

what i've been watching...
another movie i'd never even heard of and decided to PVR.
i actually watched and liked it enough to watch it again with fernando.
it was a touching make me cry movie. i originally recorded it because i thought it might be a funny movie.. not so much but i would definitly recommend it.

tasty tuesday... its back!
well i have been seriously slacking in the tasty tuesday posts.
hopefully the dry spell is over.
i'm going to start with a classic.
buttercream icing.
this is what you'll need:
2 cups butter. (the whole block)
4-6 cups icing sugar (depends on how stiff you need your icing to be)
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp heavy cream (you can use milk)
pinch of salt
toss your softened butter in the mixing bowl and whip until fluffy. i like to leave the butter out overnight so its nice and soft.
add 4 cups icing sugar, 2 tbsp cream, and vanilla and incorporate on LOW. if you go any faster than that you will have a dust storm of icing sugar to deal with.
once thats incorporated see how the consistency is and add more icing sugar/cream as needed to reach desired thickness.
here is the cake i did on last weekend with this recipe.

what i've been watching...
a new type of post for me...
i have been watching random movies that i find on the movie chanels and record so i can watch bits and pieces as i have time. i am going to start posting my thoughts on them. some good, some bad... some in between.
first one i have to post about is WAR HORSE. i don't know why i hadn't watched this.
i LOVED it. i cried several times. thank god i didn't watch this when i was pregnant or someone would have drowned. i love horses and i love war movies and i loved this movie!
