Some foodie tid bits...

Went to see the doctor today for the little ski mishap that happened yesterday...during the HOUR that it took to just see the doctor for about 15 minutes, I found some recipes.  This recipe is from the Kaiser magazine actually :)

Chocoholic Oat Cookies
(adapted from Kaiser Permanente recipe)

2 cups rolled oats
2 cups dark chocolate chocolate chips
1 cup  walnuts, chopped
1 cup Smart Balance Butter, light
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Truvia
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tbsp reduced fat milk
4 egg whites
1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine oats, chocolate chips and walnuts in large bowl. Set aside

In a large bowl, beat together the Smart Balance, brown sugar and Truvia until creamy.

Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa mixing until thoroughly combined. The batter will be stiff.

Add milk and then egg whites one at a time, mixing after each one.
Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Add oats, chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix until combined.

Using a 2-inch scoop, drop batter about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 9 - 12 minutes. The cookies will still be slightly soft in the middle.

Let cool on pan for 2 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.








Sunday Dinner: Chipotle Pork Tenderloin, Mock Whole Foods Kale with Pecans and Craisins, Red Potatoes mashed, and Lemon Shallot Green Beans








Always planning ahead, I made my breakfast for the morning!  I love eggs, so of course, it's usually a breakfast staple in my house!

Egg Cups

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Place slice of ham (I used Boar's Head Black Forest Ham about nickel thickness) into muffin tin making a cup shape.

Crack 1 egg into the ham cup.  Sprinkle with pepper and salt

Place in oven for approximately 15 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.

Remove from oven and serve!
