Healthier Carrot Oatmeal Cookies
This recipe for healthier carrot oatmeal cookies makes a relatively healthy, cake-like cookie that is a bit like a mix between carrot cake and oatmeal cookies. I adjusted a few recipes to use less sugar and more oats and carrots, so I don't feel too bad eating these for breakfast (which I can't resist)!
Tajin® Fruit Salad
This fruit salad is commonly found on street carts in Mexico. For a fun twist I added bananas and fresh pineapple, and chopped fresh mint for added color. Very refreshing.
Sunflower Oatmeal Cookies
A sweet oatmeal cookie with crunchy toasted sunflower seeds. This cookie is a family favorite. It calls for coconut, but I like them better without the coconut.
