Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


Thanksgiving holiday cookies- gluten free

These soft and chewy cranberry chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are a perfect treat for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Everyone expects to eat cranberries for the holiday, so why not serve the slightly tart berries in a delicious cookie ?

My little granddaughter came to visit and the first thing she said to me was, " Let's bake cookies".
I thought about what I had in my pantry and decided to bake these cranberry chocolate oatmeal cookies. It's a fairly common recipe that is sometimes made with white chocolate chips or the dark chocolate chips. I had the latter in the house.

These tasty quick and easy cookies would also make a nice addition to your Christmas Cookie repertoire.  No mixer is needed; you just stir the ingredients with a large spoon. They are very festive because they are full of red dried berries and rich chocolate. Unlike highly processed cookies, these winners are made from real food with whole grain nutrition. I always feel better serving my grandkids something that is wholesome.

In addition, these snacks meet gluten free and vegetarian standards.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes ( don't over bake)
Oven: 350 degrees

Ingredients: 
3/4 cup of coconut flour ( or any gluten free flour)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 1/2 cups of certified gluten free rolled oats ( I get mine at Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup of coconut crystals ( or any sweetener of your choice) ( more if you like it sweet)
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chocolate chips (DF )
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon of orange zest ( from an organic orange)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix dry ingredients ( coconut flour, oats,  coconut crystals, salt , baking soda, orange zest) in a small bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients ( olive oil, eggs, vanilla, orange juice)
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well with spoon.
Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Cover a cookie sheet ( or two) with parchment paper . Drop spoon size balls onto the paper and bake for just 10 minutes. Remove cookies and place them on wire racks to cool before eating.

My Notes: If you do not use the coconut flour and choose to use a different gluten free flour or regular flour, only use 2 eggs instead of 3. Coconut flour requires more liquid.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Meatloaf on My Mind...

Lately, I've been thinking about meatloaf. Warm, comforting...home. Good meatloaf is one of those dishes that  brings back fond memories, and bad meatloaf is shudder-worthy at best.When made with care, meatloaf is a clean, wholesome food. A host of "traditional" meatloaf recipes use things like barbeque sauce or A1 for flavor - very low on the Clean spectrum of things. When I saw these three ( essentially ) clean meatloaves in this month's issue of Women's Day Magazine, I knew I'd be posting them. I can't wait to try them. If you do, please post and let me know how you liked it! Lamb, Balsamic & Sundried Tomato Meat Loaf Whether you use lamb or substitute it with beef, this recipe is a refreshing take on the usual, with sweet sundried tomatoes balanced out by heady rosemary. Serve it with couscous for a real Mediterranean feast. Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Recipe Ingredients 1 lemon 2 large eggs 2 T bsp balsamic vinegar K...

Homemade Almond Milk ( Fast and Easy )

Making homemade almond milk is truly fast and easy. In fact, I made my very first batch of this creamy treat last week for the first time. It involved using only two ingredients: almonds and water, and had only four simple steps: soak, blend, strain, drink. After soaking, the entire process took me only 10-15 minutes. It was fun and tasted amazing! I'm sold on only making my own because store bought almond milk is stored in containers that are lined with plastic and plastic leaches estrogens into the food. And many brands add chemicals. My homemade drink tastes just as good if not better and I store it in glass. I've stopped buying plastic water bottles last year, but I didn't realize that cans and cardboard containers are lined with plastic as well. The convenience of buying containers of almond milk ( along with organic veg soup broth, canned beans, coconut milk) is exposing me to a continuous flow of estrogens which is linked to not only breast cancer but weight gain!...
