Learning as I go

In the last 5 years I have really taken to cooking. I didn't do much at first, some baking mostly. I have discovered it is a new passion of mine and felt that this would be a great way to share the many recipes that have come my way along with some originals of my own. In the last couple weeks we have started receiving CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - local grown fruit and vegetables and boy have I had fun figuring out what all I can do with it. Ive been making and cooking things I never imagined I would. So if you have found a passion in cooking like I have you have come to the right place. I hope you enjoy!

Apple Banana Cookies







Started the Whole Life Challenge today which means no processed foods, starches, carbs and no sugar unless its natural like fruit. I will be posting lots of fun healthy recipes as I take this new journey over the next 8 weeks. Of course you have to have some goodies or what fun is it. This is a very yummy cookie recipe I found through the 21-Day Sugar Detox page. 
 
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
  2. Place your almonds and macadamia nuts in your food processor and pulse until they are mixed together and in small chunks and place them in your mixing bowl
  3. Next add your apples and banana to your food processor and mix well
  4. Transfer that to your mixing bowl with your nuts
  5. Now add in your coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, coconut oil, and eggs and mix well using a hand mixer or if your feeling strong use some of that old fashion elbow grease
  6. Using a cookie scoop, form your cookie balls on your parchment paper lined cookie sheet
  7. Once your sheet is full, flatten your balls into cookie shapes
  8. Place in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bottom of your cookies are nice and lightly brown

Love and Enjoy!
