Yummers: Guiltles Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Hey Beauties you know I'm a serious foodie, I absolutely love and adore all things food, but I try to keep it healthy.... at least I try to most of the time. I came across this recipe for oatmeal cookies that requires no sugar, flour or butter and I loved it!! So you know I had to share it with you. These cookies are really great as a sort of breakfast cereal for mornings when your in a rush. But truthfully I literally eat them all day long. This recipe makes a dozen cookies, however, I literally ate half of the cookies in the pic above as soon as they cooled down enough to eat without burning my mouth. Here are the four ingredients needed to get started.

2 Ripe Bananas
1 Cup Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Raisins (or to your liking)
Cinnamon (to your liking)

In a mixing bowl mash bananas then add oatmeal, raisins and cinnamon. Mix until it forms a soft doughy consistency. Next spoon individual cookies onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Since ovens vary I would check on them after 10 minutes and determine how much longer they will need.

The Foodie In Me

Hey Beauties I have a confession to make....."My name is Nicole and I am a Foodie". I had to share this recent admission with all of you because last week I realized every single time I turn on my TV I immediately switch it to channel 51 if it's not there already. Do you know what channel 51 is....? It's the new Cooking Channel!! And I'm totally addicted!! I remember the first day I found it this summer I' jumped up & down like a fool because Nigella Lawson's show was on. Now the reason I was acting like a fool was because my Grandmother and I use to love watching her on either the Food Network or TLC, I can't remember wich station at the moment. But, I love watching her and the approach she takes with her globally inspired dishes with an english twist. I think she has cooking swag....or would that be food swag? As you see I come from a family Foodies. Since finding the station I'm now in love with Everyday Exotic, Spice Godess, Food Crafters and Indian Made Easy ....you know I love my spicy food...LOL.

But the thing that inspires me about food are the ingredients. Just like beauty, the ingredients are key. The most basic natural ingredients seem to create the most amazing beauty products and dishes that give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Let's face it. Food and beauty are about creating an emotion!!......I'm just a hopeless Foodie.
