Fruit Cake Cookies

I needed to use up some leftover candied fruit from the Christmas cake I made before the holidays, so...Fruit cake cookies it is! Similar ingredients but MUCH easier to make. No brandy, no soaking overnight, just use some softened butter, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon,  molasses, nutmeg (the last two were my additions to a recipe I found online).

Pumkin Pie

This was my first-ever attempt at a pumpkin pie - Thank you America's Test Kitchen! It was awesome and I hate pumpkin pie!

Pumpkin Muffin

Had some leftover Pumpkin puree from the pie I made, so I baked up some pumpkin muffins.

Whole Wheat Cous Cous with Spinach-Walnut Pesto

Added some lemon and parmesan cheese and it was awesome!

Protein Shake

My new Doc wants me to start drinking protein shakes. This was my first successful attempt. The others I tried before were too gritty or a very unpalatable color. This is the "Veg" Natural Flavor Protien mix blended with Almond Milk and 2 frozen strawberries. It was great!

Fish (Cod) and Chips

Fish and Chips...Another winning recipe by

America's Test Kitchen. It was a hit!

Quinoa with Carrots, Raisins, Orange Juice

You can find the recipe for this at the following link. I found it to be a bit bland in flavor, even with the cinnamon and pumpkin spice. It was better after being refrigerated over night. And it was good cold, too!
