Ok ok ok, so last time I posted about cookies and yes they were yummy but then, ooooh then, I found a recipe in my friend Nicole's cookbook (name? I forget) and tweaked it to make it a Nutritarian recipe and VOILA! Jemoiselle's Awesome Nutritarian Spiced Banana Oat Cookies were born! Everyone loves these bad boys, I mean everyone! They are easy to make, cause the kitchen to smell incredible and intoxicating, and please even the non-Nutritarian palate. I can't keep my Husband out of these! ;) Warning, I weigh my ingredients. JEMOISELLE'S NUTRITARIAN SPICED BANANA OAT COOKIES 3 very ripe bananas 180g date paste/pitted dates pureed 160g jumbo oats (Quaker will work, but Jumbo make a HUGE difference) 84g Sesame Tahini (puree of sesame seeds) 1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract (mine is homemade, thus no HFCS or sugar) Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger Allspice & Clove to taste Raisins, however many float your boat Mash bananas in a large bowl with potato masher until smooth and creamy. Mashing the nanas! Weighing the date paste Weigh all ingredients into a large bowl one by one, then stir until satisfied! Pouring in the sesame tahini and allow to sit for approximately 20-30 minutes covered with plastic wrap at room temperature for oats to absorb liquid and firm up a bit. In this time, preheat the oven to 350f/180c. My homemade vanilla extract, no sugar! Using a small melon baller, scoop onto non-stick cookie sheets, please don't add any "fat free scam artist 100% pure fat spray" or anything else besides maybe silpat sheets or parchment, they will stick a little but with a little love you'll be fine. Now get in touch with your inner passive aggressive and bang the pans on the counter to help the cookies spread into the classic "cookie" shape! There, don't we feel better? I like to think about slow moving cars and sales that happen the day after purchase for my cookie banging session! Sprinkle with flax seed or place raisins or chopped nuts on top. Whatever! Be creative! And for gosh sakes, don't eat the whole batch thank you very much! Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on how crisp around the edges you like them! Plain Variation Flax Seed Topped and Raisin Spice And that's it. Seriously, this is not a Lay's potato chip day, you don't HAVE to eat the whole batch! Take it easy, have your greens and beans before these puppies, and enjoy being thin AND eating your cookies too. Kind of like having your cake and eating it too, only I haven't made a nutritarian cake recipe so....I digress! See ya! Jemoiselle

There is nothing more controversial these days, even in the plant-based community, than the topic of oil. Strict Whole Food Plant Based camps say oil is a processed food and should be avoided. Others claim it is required for a healthy diet to get enough omega-3s. What's the truth? Fast fat facts First of all, all oils are a processed food with little to no nutrients left from the whole food it came from. Any oil, including coconut or olive, are 100% fat. 1 tablespoon = 120 calories of pure fat. It doesn't matter if its organic, cold-pressed, or expeller.
Well, so much for posting a crockpot recipe on Crockpot Monday. Here is the breakdown of how Crockpot Monday failed. I planned on making Quinoa Corn Chowder from Savvy Vegetarian on Sunday night. I started the recipe in the crockpot on low around 7 p.m. and went about my evening playing flag football and watching tv with Kevin. When it got time for the recipe to be done, however, the potatoes weren't cooked, and it was getting to be pretty late. I decided it needed a few more hours on low to finish cooking the potatoes, so I set my alarm for 3 a.m. to come turn the crockpot off and I would put away the chowder in the morning. Seems I have a knack for sleeping through alarms at 3 a.m., and I let the crockpot go all night long. The edges of my crockpot were burnt and the chowder well well overdone. I had this for dinner tonight after I took and end of recipe photo-shoot. It tasted just fine, not amazing, but eatable. The pictures from it, however, were terrible looking. It was more of a brown color than the recipe pictured on the website, but I'm sure that if I try it again I will just do it on the stovetop and get a much better result. In an attempt to do a last minute recipe for Monday (not crockpot), I was craving a dessert with apples in it. I made Dr. Fuhrman's Apple Strudel, which turned out wonderful! The only changes I made to the recipe was an addition of 1/2 c oats, to make it more crunchy and apple-pie-y, and 1/4 c chopped walnuts instead of ground raw almonds. Here it is (as the original recipe). Dr. Fuhrman's Apple Strudel Ingredients: 1/4 c apple juice 3/4 t vanilla extract 1 t cinnamon 1/4 c almond milk 3 apples, peeled, cored and chopped 1/4 c raisins, chopped 1/2 c old fashioned rolled oats 1/4 c ground raw almonds Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix the apple juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk until combined. Stir in the chopped apples, raisins, oats, and ground almonds. Pour into an 8x8in baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. Maybe I can get some better inspiration for next Crockpot Monday. What is your favorite nutritarian, veggie-loaded crockpot recipe?
