I found this recipe for wholesome breakfast cookies in the book One Smart Cookie by Julie Van Rosendaal. I have made a couple of changes to make it even more healthy and was floored by the taste. I really can’t believe that healthy can taste so good. So if you have kids who drive you crazy without having breakfast, then this recipe is for you. These breakfast cookies are packed with proteins, fiber, vitamins and minerals and low in fat too. What better way to start a day than this? With a glass of milk or orange juice it’s sure to fill up even adults.

I have a big jar of peanut butter at home and wanted to finish it before it expires in a couple of months. We are not a “peanut-butter-family” but for my son who likes it on breads and rotis. I have never baked with peanut butter so far, so I thought I will give it a try. I came across a lot of baking recipes using peanut butter in Esther Brody’s “1500 Best Bars, Cakes, Cookies, Muffins and More”. The following recipe for oatmeal peanut butter muffins is inspired from 3 recipes in that book.

Last week my husband suddenly had cravings for coconut cookies. He picked one pack from the store, but I put it back in the shelf because if he does not like it, he will not touch it and I have to finish it. Moreover I try as much as possible to avoid buying baked goods for health reasons and also I don’t want to miss a chance to bake. So as soon as I came home, dug out my Cookies book and started searching for coconut cookie recipes. That book has 1001 cookie recipes (published by Readers Digest) and there were a lot of types of coconut cookies and I narrowed down to this one because it was simple to bake, used little butter when compared to the other recipes and also it included oats. As usual my husband did not relish these cookies immediately but started liking it very much after a couple of days when it was almost over and started asking for more.
