Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These oatmeal chocolate chips cookies are so good! If you haven't tried sucanat in cookies yet, you are missing out! Sucanat stands for SUgar CAne NATural. It's non-refined cane sugar. Unlike refined and processed white sugar, sucanat retains its molasses content; it is essentially pure dried sugar cane juice. We still don't eat a lot of it but I feel better eating it knowing it's more of a whole food, meaning the body assimilates it better. It's got a rich flavor and it's heavenly! You could also try these with grain sweetened carob chips. Recipe inspired by simple healthy tasty and modified to our liking.

-3/4 cup coconut oil melted
-1 1/2 cups sucanat
-1 organic egg
-1/4 cup water
-3 cups oatmeal
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 teaspoon sea salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-dash cinnamon
-chocolate chips (I use dairy and soy free chocolate chips from whole foods)

Beat together the oil, sucanat, egg, water and vanilla until creamy. Combine the remaining ingredients, add to the first mixture, and mix well. Drop onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. I will usually bake about 6 cookies for my family then use my cookie scoop to shape the remaining dough into cookies and freeze them in little baggies. That way when we want some cookies, they are already formed and ready to be popped into the oven.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...
