Yumm . . . Oatmeal Cookies For All

How Great They Taste!

by Marjorie Staples

Oh . . . mother, oh mother . . . how I remember those days of an oatmeal cookie bake. Our little kitchen coming to life. The snowflakes falling outside, too cold to venture out, a Saturday morn - the stage set - all in place for our special treat to be made. The ingredients placed and measured carefully to your directions. Slowly and with love and by hand, we stirred the batter with joy. With the cookie sheet buttered, you allowed me to form the beauties. Once placed, our oatmeal cookies found the old white stove. Aromas filled the air and anticipation grew by minute with delight. And the final act, how wonderful they would taste! Thank you mother for including me in this prized ritual. I'm sure, grandmother did the same for you. Sometimes now, I glimps this beauty only mother and daughter share. Bake some cookies with your daughter today I emphatically suggest!

>Please send your oatmeal cookie recipes and or comments, I'd love to hear from you.

Have You Eaten Your Oats Today?

The Mighty Grain For Health

by Marjorie Swanson

Many years ago, before marriage, I had a fling with a most unusual man that claimed his vigor and vim was do to eating oats. Every single day of his life he ate a hot cereal comprised of organic oats and a whole cacophony of seeds, nuts, dried fruits, bee pollen and sea vegetables. He would not eat out for breakfast because to him, this meal, breakfast, was the most important. His hot cereal powered him through the day he would say. Eating eggs or a meat centered meal for breakfast was taboo. In fact, in our whole time together, he never ate anything but a variety of items in oatmeal for his morning meal. Well, after parting from this man, of course I've taken some of his influence with me. I do have to say, organic oatmeal in the morn is a great thing to do. So, if you are not feeling up to par, I suggest you implement a hot cereal into your morning regimen.
