It is the day of the honey cookie, oooooo! I am determined as the holiday nears to perfect a sweet treat that doesn’t contain any cane or beet sugar. The honey cookie is on the agenda today. I’ll cut to the chase…

Breakfast: banana, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mixed nuts and raisins, coffee

Lunch: spinach salad with chicken, olive oil

Dinner: turkey burger, no bun, sauteed onions and mushrooms, baked sweet potato.

Extra: not so good honey wheat cookies.

OK, now did all baked goods suck before bleached flour and processed sugar?? I’m having a discouraging time with the baking. Actual cooking is no problem sans these ingredients. I guess that I am just as jaded as everyone else when it comes to the taste sugar and bleached flour.

I do keep in mind, however, that in my younger years I turned up my nose to wheat bread and skim milk at first introduction. See, I was once an addict as well. I am determined though to produce a cookie, cake, brownie or other baked good that stands up to the nutritionally void, chemical laden garbage (pronounced gar-bawwshh) that is to humans what the ice age was to dinosaurs. The difference is that my creation will be filled with goodness, in both taste and nutrition. Hopefully.

The cookies looked good in the make…

Butter, good start.

Butter, whipped

Butter, whipped.Enter honey.

 

Never bleached, never bromated.

Done.

Done.

 OK, they look kind of nice. They taste kind of, well, lousy. Maybe I’m honey’d out. I feel like a mad scientist. I’m going back to the drawing board. Ah- hahahhahahah~

Till next time my friends,
