Just Me & the Mr. (Mug) & Cookies

Surprise ELO Afternoon Off! I came home and I stretched and I ate some ofthese cookies that I made last night and drank some coffee and it was so good.

Seedy & Spicy Jumble Buddies! (Heavily adapted from Lynn's Mom's American Vegeterian Cookbook's Banana Date Oatmeal Jumbles)
2 big bananas, mashed
1 1/2 C. rolled oats
1/2 C. mixed seeds (I threw in sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin)
1/4 C. ground sesame seeds (I don't know how important this is, but I put them in because I'd tried to make tahini and I failed)
1/4 C. canola oil
dash of salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp vanilla, lots of cinnamon, dash nutmeg
2 tsp minced ginger
8 dates, chopped
1 tbsp honey

Mix it all together and let it all mingle for 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 350 degrees. I scooped them out by the tablespoon and flattened them with a fork to make them a little more crunchy. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden around the edges.

2011, I'm going to kick your butt. My first loaf of bread was a total disaster but I'm going to make up for that one, OK?
