Oatmeal White Chocolate Cranberry Coconut Lactation Cookies
Jane Hanley's Oatmeal White Chocolate Cranberry Coconut Lactation Cookies:
1/2 C Butter
1/2 C Coconut Oil
1 C granulated sugar
1 C light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 TBSP flaxseed meal
4 TBSP water
2 C flour (can use whole wheat, I use all-purpose)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 TBSP brewer's yeast
3 C oats (I used a combination of Bob's Red Mill steel cut and thick rolled oats)
2/3 C dried cranberries
2/3 C white chocolate chips
2/3 C flake coconut
Heat oven to 375.
Mix flaxseed and water together and set aside.
Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and brewer's yeast.
Mix butter, coconut oil, and sugars until light. Add in eggs, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla (and a splash of coconut extract if you want) and the flaxseed mix to the blended sugar. Mix well.
Add the sifted flour and blend well.
Stir in the oats, cranberries, white chocolate chips, and coconut. Make sure it's well combined.
Bake on cookie sheet 8 to 12 minutes (I always use parchment so the cookies don't stick but on my dark, non-stick cookie sheets, 8-9 minutes is usually enough time while on my Pampered Chef baking sheet they take more like 11-12 minutes depending on the size of the cookies).
Let the cookies cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Note that I don't closely measure the cranberries, chips, or coconut. I mostly eye-ball it. And, I don't use nuts but crushed macadamias or walnuts would probably be a good addition too. I have also made this recipe using coconut oil in place of the butter as well. Finally, the longer you let the batter sit, the less the cookies will spread when they bake as the oats will absorb the oil.

Smoked Salmon Recipes
1. use smoked salmon a lot in the summer, because it's a good, easy source of protein without having to heat up the house with the broiler or stand over a fiery grill.
I like to make a pasta dish with it. Cook the pasta (bowtie or rotini work best). Add chopped spinach, tomatoes, asparagus (sauteed) and other veggies to your liking. Mix with olive oil, cheese (mozz, parm, or whatever you prefer), garlic, and other spices to taste. Add chunks of smoked salmon. I also like to do a creamy sauce and add something crunchy like walnuts.
It can be served hot, or chilled and served as a pasta salad.

Healthy Coconut Chocolate Chip cookies & Terry Walters' Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
To make this healthy and DELICIOUS cookies, you will need:

There is no need to roll, flatten or shape the mounds [here's where I had trouble: I would actually flatten them slightly next time.] Place in oven and bake 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and place directly n a wire rack to cool. Makes 1-1/2 dozen cookies.

Gluten Free Banana Protein Pancakes
2 small bananas
2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons oat flour
3 tablespoons of protein powder
1 tablespoon (or more) Coconut Milk (Can use water, milk, or almond milk)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend.
Check consistency, depending on the flour you use, you may need a little more liquid. Add in a tablespoon at a time.
Heat a pan with oil or butter. I used coconut oil, it is a high heat oil and it imparts a sweet nutty flavor that I like.
Let the pan get hot, then add your batter. Turn down the heat to medium to medium low.
The key here is slow and low. Cook on this side for about 7-10 minutes.

100 calorie snacks
Baked apples can get all dressed up and filled with oats, nuts, and other tasty stuff. But for a simple low-cal version, core a tennis-ball sized apple, dust with cinnamon, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes (or until tender but not mushy).
Mexican Potato
There’s always the option to bake a potato, but for a quick snack version turn to the microwave. Pierce a medium potato (about the size of a computer mouse) a few times with a fork, and microwave on high for about five minutes or until soft (you should be able to pierece with a knife and remove without any resistance). Top ½ of the potato with 1 tablespoon of salsa and 1 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt (a great stand in for sour cream). Save the other half in the fridge for another snack!
Apples and Cheese
Pair a Laughing Cow Mini Babybel Light cheese wheel with half of a baseball-sized apple, sliced. The cheese has 6 grams of protein and 20 percent of the daily recommended value of calcium.
Hard Boiled Egg Whites and Mustard
Boil four eggs for 12–15 minutes. Let them cool, de-shell them, slice them in half, and remove the yolks with a spoon. Sprinkle with pepper and dip in 1 tablespoon of mustard. The really yellow kinds of mustard get their color from turmeric, an anti-inflammatory spice. Pro tip: If you add 1 teaspoon ofbaking soda to the water, the eggs will be a cinch to peel!
Combine ½ cup of nonfat plain Greek Yogurt with ¼ cup of pumpkin puree. Sweeten with stevia, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pumpkin pie spice blend (or cinnamon). Pumpkin is a low fat way to increase this snack’s fiber and flavor profile.
Cukes and Cream Cheese
Cut one medium cucumber into long strips. Combine 2 tablespoons of diced roasted red pepper, 2 tablespoons of low-fat cream cheese, and ¼ teaspoon of cracked pepper. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the strips. Cucumbers are made up mostly of water, which makes them a healthy low-calorie dipper.
Broccoli and Tzatziki Sauce
Whip up a quick tzatziki-like sauce by combining 2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of minced cucumber. Dip six florets into the sauce. The healthy bonus here is that eating broccoli raw may help maintain the green veggie’s cancer-fighting nutrients.

Directions:
Mix it all up, carefully. It should be a gooey consistency.
Pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to make it more of an ice cream texture, or eat it straight out of the bowl!
options: add a little peanut butter, prepared PB2 or other nut butter.
chocolate chips
1/2 ripe banana, fresh or frozen (Thaw a little if frozen)
2 tablespoons PB2 (12 grams)
2 tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa powder (10 grams)
Directions:
Mix the ingredients together with a fork or in a Magic Bullet.
Pour into a bowl or dish.
Refrigerate or freeze. (If you can wait that long, if not, eat as is).

Lighter Almond Chocolate Fudge
1/2 ripe banana
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon coconut butter
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
pinch of salt
Splenda packet
This version did the trick although the other two versions were better. I liked that I could eat the whole thing (which I most definitely did) for about 310 calories and 18 grams of fat. I had to add a little sweetener to it though. It wasn’t as rich and didn’t set as well, but it was still really good.
