EASY Guilt Free Cookies! No Sugar-No Flour AND They TASTE GOOD+ Cleaning Up A MESS!

Holy Cow!

We say that a lot in Wisconsin-

even though we KNOW cows are 

NOT  REALLY HOLY.

You DO know that, right?

Anyway,

Holy Cow- I have been busy.

I didn't get the craft room done yet.

However, I did get the basement sorted.

Yes. I. Did.

To celebrate THAT accomplishment

I wanted something SWEET.

I have been TRYING to eat healthier

so I saw a recipe that someone posted

AND

I decided to make it my own and 

change it up just a bit.

You know me-Can't leave well enough alone.

Look!

Look and See!

Look and Smell!

Look and Eat!

uh- oh-

what the heck are those bubbles in my coffee?

I hope SweetCheeks didn't dump a goldfish in there!

Come closer.

Can you smell them?

Hey!  I never said they were PRETTY!

I just said they TASTE GOOD!

See that little Green Bay Beverage bottle

in the top picture?

Here's a closer look.

 THAT was sent to me by my friend, Kris,

at Junk Chic Cottage.

She found it in an antique store about 200 miles

South of me.

MyHero grew up drinking soda

from Green Bay Beverage Company.

It has been closed and gone for years

and we have NEVER seen one of  their

bottles anywhere.

How cool is that?

Hmmm...maybe my flowers would 

LAST LONGER

if I made sure the stems were IN the water.

What do YOU think?

Okay- 

Here is all you need to make these cookies.

Banana Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

2 LARGE very ripe bananas

1-1/3 cups Oatmeal (Quick cook kind)

1/2 cup raisins

2 Tablespoons peanut butter (I used Cashew butter)

1 Teaspoon vanilla (I use Mexican Vanilla)

(optional- Add- 1/3 cup chopped nuts)

Mash bananas completely.  Stir in all ingredients. 

Drop by large tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheet.  I use Baker's Joy spray.

Bake @ 350 until set. (12-15 minutes -or more depending on how dry you like your cookies)

I use air baking sheets.  These take about 18 minutes on airbake sheets.

Cool completely.

These are so moist and sweet-

You won't believe they don't have sugar in them.

I did NOT get the craft room done.

But I DID get the basement pretty well sorted.

Here is a BEFORE.

I hate to even show it.

I am NOT putting MY name on this

cuz I don't want it floating around the 

internet with MY name on it!

I was thinking about putting 

SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME 

on the picture below.

You know- Someone like

Suzan@ Simply Vintageous

Wouldn't she LOVE to get credit for 

having a basement area that looked like THIS?

She would think she died and went to 

Decorating Hades.

Is that SAD, or what?

Well, a lot of this has now been 

MOVED to the craft room.

And here is that area now.

I stitched some drop cloths,

used clothesline and strung them up

to hide the vacuum, water softener,

and some pipes that run through there.

The table is set up for the kids

to use for craft projects.

All their supplies are in a 

cabinet to the left now.

I can just whip the tablecloth off

if the project is messy.

I see a pillow peeking out

from underneath the table.

Apparently, I didn't do my

"blog picture" check

before snapping pictures.

I have pictures of BigBoy E's

first day of school coming soon.

Maybe even tomorrow IF

I can get myself in gear!

Meanwhile-

Have a great day.

I will be figuring out storage

solutions in the small craft room today

and HOPE to have pictures of

that in the next day or so.
