Blueberry Banana Coconut Cookies










1 cup brown sugar
                                 1 teaspoon vanilla extract                                 
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup oats (optional)
2 1/3 c whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
I overly ripe banana
water ( you add as much as you need)
1 cup coconut



Preheat oven to 325. Combine the sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add the water according to how dry and moist you want your dough. Add the banana, blueberries and coconut. Drop spoonfuls on to the cookie sheet. If your cookies are a little watery use a spoon to put them on the cookie sheet. If you want you can sprinkle coconut on top the cookies seconds before you put them in the oven. bake for 17 minutes and enjoy :)

IMPORTANT SUGGESTION - put your blueberries in a strainer with a bowl underneath it. Run them underwater. Not alot just enough so the bowl has like a cup or so of water in it. Let them defrost. Your bluberries that are on top might freeze but just mix them around. Make sure to save the water that is now colored from the blueberries because you are later going to use that water in the cookies. This way you save water and you color the cookies blue.

Potatoes, Pancakes and More

I broke my ideas down with A,B,C's
________________________________________________________________________



A.... If you love potatoes but you don't want to put butter on it to make it softer I suggest trying this....

1. Mash up the potato (s) how ever you wish whether that be from a box or a baked potato
2. Add some pesto to the potatoes according to how much potatoes you made. The pesto normally has oil already in it but you can add more oil if you so wish too.
3.Chop up some sun dried tomatoes and top the potatoes with them
4. ENJOY! yummers :)



B.  I love hummus so you could also add some hummus to your potatoes with a little bit of oil.  Hummus comes in all different flavors so you can switch up the flavors to match with what you feel like or with differing meals if you so wish.



C. I don't know if you ever have this problem after you make pancakes but I always have leftovers so what i do is I turn the plain pancake into a sandwich wrap. You can make it whatever type of sandwitch you want but I would suggest having it be a vegetarian/vegan wrap .
