Super Oat Cookies

So, I have started to cook quite a bit again. I don't really know why I stopped, I guess I ran out of time. That is why I have now decided to cook much more often. Preferably at least once a day. Even if it's just something as simple as this recipe I am about to post.

Without further ado, here it is:

Super Oat Cookies

Ingredients

 

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup quick oats

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. flaxseed meal

1 tbsp. oatbran

1 tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 cup melted butter/margarine

 

Method

 

Preheat oven to 150°C. Begin melting butter. Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and loosely combine. Add butter, mix loosely. Add honey, mix until well combined. Using your hands, form mixture into small balls and add to greased cookie sheet (should be about 6). Bake for 28 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Allow to cool and enjoy!

So, there you go. Just for full disclosure's sake, I obtained the basis for this recipe from Food & Whine but, as a major point, I removed the Cheerios. Seems to kind of take the heart out of the recipe, I think but it tastes really good without them. Plus the fact that I usually like something that's at least a handful for me, not a 6 year old. The original is tasty but that's my take on it. That blog is, by the way, one of my go to's for great recipes. It's also made it to my RSS reader which not many things make it to (I don't like having to wade through pointless news to find the gems).

2 Broke Girls - A Very General Review

So, I've been watching some new TV lately - namely the titled show. I realise that it may not be the stellar beacon of entertainment that I would usually hold myself to watching but it's actually kind of funny... in an occasionally cringe-worthy kind of way.

Quick summary - so there's a poor chick and a rich chick who is now poor. Wicked. Sounds really terrible, right? Well, it's not really all that bad, I have laughed at least a few times each episode which is honestly much more than I was expecting. Obviously, the recently broke chick meets the poor chick when the recently broke chick goes for a job at a diner (now, recently broke chick = chick 1 and poor chick = chick 2 just for the sake of saving time). Obviously, chick 2 now has to educate chick 1 on the ways of being poor. There's a thrift store episode, a coupon episode, I think you get the idea. And in between all of that, stereotypical Ukrainian Oleg makes jokes about sleeping with both waitresses. 'Orders for table 3, table 8 and table 69' is one of his most used quotes. 

There's also a stereotypical little Chinese man who tends to be the brunt of a lot of the humour. This is, occasionally, due to his fear of certain feminine hygiene products.
