The whole summer was cool, and Sept and Oct have been downright cold.

Glad to hear the weather is turning ...Hey Heather! Glad to hear the weather is turning into more of a true fall season for you guys! Your kitties are so cute, hope the kids are having fun with the new addition to the family. Thanks for posting your recipes, I've been cooking and baking more now and am excited to try that bread, looks yummy! I made blueberry bars today, they are a recipe from Jessica Seinfeld (Yes! Jerry's wife)who likes to hide veggies in her kids food. I couldn't even taste the green offender in the bars! You should give them a try, I put them to the test with some people from Greg's work and they didn't know until I told them. Fun to have healthy recipes that still taste yummy...<BR/>INGREDIENTS<BR/>•Nonstick cooking spray<BR/>•2 cups old-fashioned oats<BR/>•1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour<BR/>•1/2 cup sugar<BR/>•1/2 tsp. cinnamon<BR/>•1/4 tsp. baking powder<BR/>•1/4 tsp. salt<BR/>•1 tsp. pure vanilla extract<BR/>•3/4 cup Balance trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread, chilled<BR/>•1 cup low-sugar blueberry preserves<BR/>•1/2 cup spinach puree<BR/><BR/>Preheat oven to 375°. Coat an 8" x 8" baking pan with cooking spray.<BR/><BR/>In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and vanilla and stir to mix well.<BR/><BR/>Add the margarine and cut it quickly into dry ingredients with two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal and is no longer powdery. Do not overmix—bits of margarine will still be visible.<BR/><BR/>Set aside about half of the oat mixture; press the rest firmly into the pan. Bake until lightly browned at the edges (but not fully baked), 13 to 15 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, mix the preserves with the spinach puree in a small bowl.<BR/><BR/>Spread blueberry mixture over the partially baked oat layer, then sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Bake until topping is slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool (Let the bars cool completely before serving so that the taste of the spinach has a chance to disappear completely).<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long post, but I figured since you asked for cookie recipes, and I don't really have any special ones, I'd make up for it here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
