Peanut Butter Cookies, Flourless

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Robin

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

1 cup of peanut butter (best with no preservatives or sugar in it)

½ cup sugar (or less)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C)

Combine ingredients and drop by teaspoon on cookie sheet (no need to butter).  Bake 10 to 12 minutes. 

Recipe does not make many, so you may want to double, especially when you taste them. I got 28 bite size cookies from this batch.  I don’t normally like peanut butter and I really like these.  Delicious!

Try different types of nut butters as well.  Almond butter is very good.  Once I get homemade raw almond butter down pat, I will put that recipe up as well.

You could even have these as a breakfast food – high in protein.  Better than many of the breakfast bars out there especially with less sugar.  Many of the recipes that I found out there had a cup of sugar.  Hubby who loves his sugar, said and I quote:  “You could put less sugar in as it is still pretty sweet.”  And then he added “I can’t believe I said that.”  It goes to show how quickly we can get use to more sugar or less sugar.

I am always interested in other ways to change these cookies, etc so I would love to hear your ideas.  What would you do?

Starving yourself?

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Robin

Recently I saw a post about New Year’s Resolutions and weight loss. One of the solutions was to starve yourself. It makes my blood boil when I see that!

It is wrong on some many levels because there are so many reasons why you cannot lose weight which need to be considered. Over the next little while I will talk about some of them. I would love your input as well.

So, you want to lose weight? And you think you should starve yourself! (Personally, I call it depriving or being mean or disrespectful to self!)

Do you think you will be able to starve yourself for long?
