There have been a lot of delicious looking cookie dough-flavoured Overnight Oats over the last little while (like this one or this one) that were just too tempting to not try. I don't eat oats myself, but you know you're a foodie when you still want to try a recipe for something you don't necessarily partake in. Conveniently, Andrew loves them! Looking through some existing recipes, I was wondering how it was possible that so few ingredients would turn into something cookie dough tasting, but they were pretty on the ball! I used them as an inspiration and here's what I came up with. Who says you can't have cookies for breakfast? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats Yields: 1 man-sized portion For oats: 3/4 C rolled oats 2 tablespoons of chia pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract (optional) 1/2 tablespoon of raw honey/maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener) 1 C non-dairy milk (almond, soy, it...

So a little while ago I promised two cookie recipes , and realized I actually only posted one... heh. My bad. I have to admit, I'm not as satisfied with this one as the other one, but it's still pretty tasty and is still a reliable high raw cookie recipe. My intention was to do something snazzy with black pepper and chocolate and pecan, but it wasn't nearly as cool as I thought. I'll probably be tweaking it and posting something niftier when I figure it out. Peppered Chocolate Pecan Cookies Makes about 12-14 cookies 3 C rolled oats, ground into flour 1 vanilla bean, ground (or 1 tsp vanilla extract) 1/4 C raw almond butter (I made my own) 1/4-1/3 C maple syrup/raw agave/raw honey 1 tsp peanut butter (or your favourite raw nut butter) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 C filtered water 1/2 C "candied" pecans* 1/4 C chocolate chips black pepper, for topping or mixing in *my usual mix of nuts, maple syrup (or agave), cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allsp...

Bad Blogspot, bad. I don't know if any of you had a chance to read my snazzy recipe for a Chinese dish I got off of my mom during my trip back home to DC last weekend, but Blogspot decided to go all Friday the 13th, and collapse and deleted all our posts... I'll try to put it back together some time. In the meantime, I'll send you off with not one but two wholesome cookie recipes. See, I don't eat grains very often, but when we moved to Ottawa, we met George, a non-pesticide using grain farmer at the Lansdowne Farmers Market, and our lives changed forever. As far as I know, we've never lived in such proximity to an "organic" grain farmer before so we just really want to support what he does. Not only is he awesome (he grows oats, wheat, barley, rye, spelt, buckwheat, triticale and more), but when you know someone on a first name basis, you want to support them as often as you can. George is also pretty much the reason why I really got into feeding Andrew V...
