{Baking} COCOA BERRY DESSERT BROWNIES … with Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, Cocoa and Berry Mix
There’s more to life than chocolate, but not right now. Anonymous THUD! It was that all too familiar noise of the postie chucking a parcel over the gate again. While I braced myself for probable disaster & broken bits of parcel, the son raced out yelling, “Mama, must be something for your blog!” Excitement writ on his face, the expectation of a new foodie flavour or recipe lighting up his life, he does enjoy the little joys of my blogging. A foodie through and through, he was spot on! Came in waving a brown floppy parcel, his eyes searching my face for a ‘go ahead’ to get to the contents!…

I think buttermilk ranch dressing might add an interesting twang to them as well. You can also substitute the cream cheese for finely grated cheddar.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
“In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips.” Author Unknown I bake snacks for the kids 3-4 times a week. It takes care of their ‘tiffin’ or snack box, & caters for their snack when they come back home. Lunch is served in school, & the kids are usually ravenous when they get back around 3 in the afternoon. I endeavour to add variety from time to time ranging from banana chocolate-chip muffins, oatmeal cookies, pound cake, sandwiches, pasta, but often find myself reaching out for the cocoa. This was one such ‘cocoa moment’, where I put together a number of different recipes to make these cookies. The…
