Bon Appetit comes through again for this week’s recipe. I really love their cooking magazine. I halved the recipes and made it my own by adding some chopped pistachios – and the review I got “These are great, just what I needed, something a little sweet”. The only thing that puzzled me about these were the timing. I couldn’t get it just right – but they were still good. This version of the recipe makes about 2 dozen.
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla (I upped it some from original amount)
1 egg
1 cup oats
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup dried cherries (next time I would chop these before putting them in)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
Cream the first three. Add in egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients. Fold in the additions.
Bake on greased cookie sheets at 375 for anywhere from 10-13 minutes, just watch them so they don’t burn.
These were good. I would make them again.

I found a similar recipe in food blog land, and tweaked it to fit my kitchen today! This will be a very healthy bowl of yummy goodness all week for lunch or dinner.
1 large baking potato – chopped (I left skin on)
2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 carrot, diced into pennies
1 zucchini – cut into half moons
1 squash – cut into half moons
1 onion, chopped
1 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup blush wine
2 T curry powder
1 tsp sriracha sauce
1 tsp evoo
Add all to a big skillet and let go for about an hour, stirring every so often, on a high simmer – till all veggies are done.
Serve as is – or over spaghetti squash, couscous, anything you want.

I love it when you get two side dishes out of one ingredient! And I love the colors that God brings us in his own creation!
These were delicious. A tad bit bitter, but so good and healthy!
1 bunch of beet greens, chopped – stems and all
1/2 onion, slices
1/2 cup blush wine
2 tsp evoo
1 garlic clove
Heat evoo and onions. Add in garlic (finely chopped or use a zester). Add in wine and let simmer. Add in beet greens and cook on medium for about 7-10 minutes.
Enjoy!

I am sick. I hate being sick. The whole body hurts, sore throats, ears. Life must go on right?
So, I had finally gotten back into a track interval/yoga workouts and then this. But, it just hurts to do anything – mainly keeping my head up!
So, what do you do when you are feeling sick?

Since I am definitely feeling under the weather I went for a tried and true recipe this morning as I dragged myself to work.
1/3 cup oats
1/2 cup water
2 tsp chocolate peanut butter dreams
3/4 of a banana (the other 1/4 of it was bad)
So good – especially laying on my new couch while eating it! Washed down with a glass of water and some vitacraves gummy multivitamins.
Check back for my last day of oats tomorrow.
