    FOOD = LOVE

    I spend tons of time deliberating over food choices and preparation whether I am having friends over for a casual dinner or hosting a cocktail party. I always make too much food and I love it when people are happy because of my cooking.

    I also love baking cookies for my kids. It is such a simple gesture that instantly puts a smile on their face. What could be better as a kid than a warm homemade chocolate chip cookie after school?

     

    Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I want my kids to be healthy and develop good eating habits, so I redesigned our favorite oatmeal cookie recipe.

    • I eliminated some of the butter in lieu of coconut oil, substituted whole wheat and ground oatmeal for some of the white flour and eliminated some of the sugar.
    • I hate to brag, but these healthy cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies!

      You’re from Iowa?! I’m from Illinois! We were practically neighbors growing up.

      I am having a Bren Did kind of day. This morning I fixed your Apple Pie Puffed Oven Pancake and this afternoon I made these cookies. Both recipes get two thumbs up 🙂
