Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches & Veggie Wedgie
I really love frozen bananas-who doesn’t? Raw banana ice cream has been one of my favorite treats since last summer- it’s so easy and quick to make! Now that the weather is warm again, I started making it more often but this time I thought I should try something different- I wanted to make ice cream sandwiches with banana filling, and since I was making the filling raw, I thought that it would be cool to also make the cookies raw, no? The result was pretty good : a very light, dairy free and nut free creamy treat! I must warn you though, the ice cream is not very sweet ( I like it better that way), so if you want this to taste more like dairy sugar load ice cream, I suggest you add a couple tablespoons of agave syrup when you blend the filling. Ingredients For the cookies : -1 cup oat groats or 1 1/2 cup oat flour -1/2 cup raw cacao powder -200gr dates -3 tbsp coconut butter -2 tbsp agave syrup -1 tbsp water Filling : -6 frozen bananas -1 vanilla bean, scraped
Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies
Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies, Sans The Artificial Ingredients Whether you want to avoid some of the highly-processed ingredients (like trans fats and palm oil) or you just can’t wait for the annual cookie sale, we’ve got some simple ways to make healthier versions of these classic treats. Why Make Your Own Though Girl Scout cookies boxes say “trans-fat free,” the term is officially defined by the FDA as a food that contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, meaning some varieties — including uber-popular Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs — still contain trace amounts of the fat. The giveaway: Look for “partially-hydrogenated” on the ingredient list. That ingredient list also contains palm oil and preservatives — your homemade ones will just taste better. 2 Recipes, 5 Different Girl Scout Cookies Many of the favorite Girl Scout cookies begin with the same base: The classic shortbread cookie.

Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes | Two Peas & Their Pod - StumbleUpon
Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes When we went to California in November, we spent a day eating our way through Los Angeles with our good friend, Amanda, from Kevin and Amanda. Amanda had a long list of food places for us to try. We started our food feast at The Griddle Cafe in Hollywood. Amanda recommended the “Recess Time” pancake, which is a double-filled cinnamon streusel pancake. We took her advice and ordered the pancake and I am so glad we did. The pancakes at The Griddle Cafe are humongous! We were determined to recreate our favorite pancakes at home so one morning we put our game faces on and got to work. Josh let a big scoop of butter melt all over the pancake, making the pancake even more decadent. I will warn you these pancakes are insanely sweet. To see what else we ate in L.A, check out Amanda’s post. If you like these Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes, you might also like:
Cowboy Cookies | Scarletta Bakes
Howdy. Have a cookie. You’ll need it to sustain you through the following paragraphs of immensely dorky cowboy references. Yee haw. These cookies are pretty much my favorite of all time – the confectionery equivalent of a supreme or trashcan pizza. There’s something for everyone in these chunky gems, but they are still soft and chewy on the inside. Even a city slicker would approve. Whoa, Nellie! These are beaters for begging for a licking. The base dough, before you fold in all the goodies, is rich and creamy, sweetened with brown and white sugars. I use shortening whenever I make these cookies, which lends a lovely texture to the finished product. Dang – can you believe that? I actually set my rubber scraper aside and folded all of the additives in with my hands. We’re talking some serious vittles here. Make some extra room in your saddlebag – these cookies are not small. Cowboy Cookies Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream sugars and shortening together. YIELD: approximately 26 cookies
Baked Lemon Pasta
I love simple dishes like this. They remind me of my single vegetarian days in L.A. when I’d often come home from work and find a total of three grocery items in my kitchen. This is in contrast to the 9.446 grocery items in my kitchen now—everything from bacon grease to a freezer full of beef, but we won’t go there today. Lemon is an unlikely flavoring for pasta, but oh…is it ever refreshing and good, especially in the spring and summer. This is a baked version, but if you’re in a hurry there’s nothing more delicious than this: saute butter and olive oil, add chopped garlic. There’s something about this baked version, though, that I just love. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. This recipe may be doubled, tripled, or octupled—it’s totally easy. The Cast of Characters: Spaghetti, lemons, garlic, butter, sour cream, olive oil, salt, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Start by grating the zest from one lemon. In a skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Oh, yum.

This was originally posted on June 30, 2008. Simple and delicious. This recipe is laced with cinnamon and topped with fresh blueberries. Awesome! When I was stuck in airports a few weeks ago, I ended up buying more than my share of magazines. This weekend I picked up a pint of blueberries at the market eager to get started on my unconventional focaccia recipe. When I pulled the bread out of the oven it was a beautiful sight. Blueberry Focaccia from O magazine I cut my recipe in half and it worked out well. 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast 2 1/4 cups warm water 6 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 large egg 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature Vegetable oil, for greasing 2 pints (5 to 6 cups) blueberries1 In a small bowl, mix yeast and water; set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Alright, confession time. My first impression of these cookies was not a super positive one. I mean, don’t get me wrong…I love a good chocolate chip cookie. And Oreos easily top the list among my favorite “store bought” cookies. The idea of combining them just threw me. I am really not even sure how to describe these. Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe from the fantabulous Jenny of Picky Palate 2 sticks (1 cup) softened butter 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon pure vanilla 3 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 10 oz bag chocolate chips 1 pkg. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. NOTE: Some bakers have had some trouble with their dough spreading too much during baking. Makes about 2 dozen VERY LARGE cookies. stumble
