I found this recipe on a food storage site and loved it! Don't tell anybody you used beans and they often can't even tell! There is almost no fat in this and its got all the right stuff in it! I haven't tried doing this with a whole sweetener yet like agave nectar but that is something I am definitely going to attempt when I am on that phase in my diet! This was a very happy recipe for me because it gave me a way to cook yummy chocolate chip cookies that I DON'T have to use Margarine or Crisco...I hate using that stuff when I don't have too. I am pretty scared of margarine and allowed it in my home for Vanessa who can't have dairy...but we try really hard not to ever use it.
is a collection of recipes that I have taken and usually doctored to my tastes of whole and real foods that don't include HFCS or food colors. I am not totally into the commercial idea of "organic" but I definitely don't veto the idea. I do believe in good balanced nutrition and that we have ruined our diet with grain fed animals and with hybrid fruits and vegetable. However, I am all about saving penny's and food storage as well...
