These recipes have NOTHING to do with Thanksgiving but both are yummy. :)
Tropical No Guilt Cookies
2 cups oats
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/4 cup chopped dried pineapple
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla
What you'll do:
Chop the dried pineapple into tiny pieces. Mix it and the coconut with the flour to keep the fruit from sticking together. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Drop by generous spoonfuls onto parchment paper and bake at 350 for 10-12 until edges start to barely brown and cookie looks dry.
Best Salad Ever aka Black Bean and Corn Salad
What you'll need:
2 cups fresh or frozen corn (if frozen, thaw in microwave)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/2 pepper - red, yellow, orange, or green, chopped
15 grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
chopped avocado, optional
Dressing:
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp minced ginger
1/4 tsp salt
pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
What you'll do:
Add all veggies to large bowl. Mix dressing ingredients in small bowl. Then pour over veggies and mix gently. Chill for several hours before serving. We eat it with a spoon but it's also great with chips. For a more complete meal, add chopped cooked chicken, left over pork tenderloin, shrimp, or crumble a veggie burger or two into the salad.
