Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-cherry-heart-smart-cookies-10000001949710/

Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies Recipe

From My Recipes, by Marcie Dixon

-Used dark chocolate chunks instead of bittersweet, and slightly less brown sugar

-used almond extract instead of vanilla

-used all whole wheat flour instead of half whole wheat, half all purpose

Mine didn’t flatten out to match the cookies in the picture- they flattened out some, but stayed pretty ball-like. The texture was also a little different than most cookies- these have more oats than flours.

These are amazing, kind of like baked trail mix cookies.Definitely making them again, and soon.

Pita Bread

Pita Bread

From About.com’s Middle Eastern Food, by


-12 minutes of kneading for dough to stop being gummy

-dough more than doubled in size after ~3 hours


If these aren’t rolled out thinly enough, you get a tasty flatbread, but not really a pita. If rolled out properly, there’s a good pocket.

Next time, I’ll be checking on the dough after an hour and a half, and adding some poppy seeds or za’atar.

- Used carrots, sugar snap peas,broccoli, celery

Took about half an hour to make (what with cutting up all the vegetables and pineapple). Reheats well. I’ll be making this again. I might try making it spicier next time.

Adapted from Jim Lahey, Sullivan Street Bakery

-substituted one cup of whole wheat flour for one cup of the all purpose

-let the dough sit for ~15 hours

-baked the bread for ~50 minutes on a pan because I don’t have an oven safe pot for that temperature

New favorite oatless bread recipe. This is so easy, and so good.

From Oh She Glows, by Angela Liddon.

-used two garlic cloves

- this survived being refrigerated and then reheated, and was good, but was so much better the night I made it

This really does take about 15 minutes to make, and I love the idea of using an avocado instead of cream.
