Fun week, but we have been eating way to many grains and not enough veggies. Next week my goal is 5 vegetable posts in a row! But for today….
A few years ago I bought a package of Girl Scout cookies from a girl going door to door. My kids anxiously awaited to find out what was inside.
“Cookies!” I told them
“Can we make them?” they responded.
“What do you mean, ‘make them’? Someone already made them and put them in this box so we can just eat them without doing any work.” I said, not realizing this was information that was neccesary to teach a child. They were utterly shocked you could buy cookies already made. I thought it was funny we never had before.
Anyhow, today Cereal boy and I experimented with oatmeal cookies a few different ways. Once we replaced the white sugar with Agave nectar, once with honey, and then a third time replacing the butter with canola oil (keeping the honey). They all tasted really similar. But I’ll post the middle recipe here.
Speaking of OATMEAL! Quaker is flying me and 14 other food bloggers to CHICAGO on Nov. 7th-9th. We are going to spend the weekend learning about all the fabulous benefits of eating your oats. Oats are so good for you, and now I will forever love QUAKER!!!  Stay tuned for some Quaker giveaways coming soon too.
