MIXED BERRY & NUT CLUSTERS….Cookies, Cake & CLICK
“If life is a bowl of cherries, then what am I doing in the pits?”Erma Bombeck Mixed Berry & Nut Clusters Aaaaaaaargh…it’s just another of those days when time begins to run out on you even before morning has nicely broken!! Day before was a busyish day. I made cookies out of dried berries & I made chocolate chocolate-chip muffins from Nigella’s recipe @ Food network…asking for trouble to tell you the truth! The muffins were not nice at all, so not worthy of being posted. Had my dear friend’s kids over from Ukraine, so then made chocolate morsel cookies too. The kids are complete chocolate addicts & will not…

MALTED OAT ‘n’ PISTACHIO COOKIES & A DISTINCT AWARD…GASP!!
“Food…can look beautiful, taste exquisite, smell wonderful, make people feel good, bring them together, inspire romantic feelings. …At its most basic, it is fuel for a hungry machine.” Rosamond Richardson Malted Oat ‘n’ Pistachio Cookies I made really simple healthy cookies the other day. Had some oats which were beginning to look really sad just sitting there, so out came the cookbook. …’The Great Cookie Book’.

Added nuts to add to crunch & taste; had to be pistachios which…

NICE & HEALTHY OATMEAL WALNUT COOKIES…& a nice award too!
“We load up on oat bran in the morning so we’ll live forever. Then we spend the rest of the day living like there’s no tomorrow.” Lee Iacocca OATMEAL CHOCOLATE-CHIP WALNUT COOKIES While I was making these cookies the other day, the son was very intrigued by the ‘new ingredient’ on the counter. Told him it was oatmeal, a wonder grain with the power to give sustained release of energy the day through, healthy & full of fibre etc. He gobbled a couple & then later on, that night, told me that he ran well that day & felt great…‘Must be the oat cookies Mama!’ . These cookies are crisp,…

A CRUMBLE TO FALL FOR…a healthy Apple Crumble!
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns.” George Eliot Sugar & spice & ‘FALL’ things nice…that’s what I’m made up of! Cinnamon scrolls…adding flavour to the Crumble! A twist to the regular crumble to make it healthier. I have substituted the butter for margarine, and lightly toasted (or roasted) the oats to bring out the crunch and flavour. Apples, cinnamon & walnuts bring out quite the best in each other…as far as taste, colour and warmth go. The only thing missing are the twirling leaves when the south wind blows!! Guess we can…
