Frozen Cookie Dough!



Hey it's MarilynTheChef, I want to ask a question? Are cookies healthy? Are they a get fit no-no? Well here's my opinion. Chemicals, radical diets and excessive stress eating leads to an unbalanced body. We become unhealthy when we stop exercising, which promotes blood circulation. 

Let's start making meals at home and eliminating the boxes and packages in our cupboards and refrigerators. Natural fat works with our body's chemistry. 

Where are your Chocolate Chip Cookies coming from, packages or things around the house?

 Do you have things like:

1 1/2 cups of Unbleached All Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1/2 cup of raw sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
3 cups steel cut oats
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Get a bowl for your flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, let's call it the flour bowl. Take a separate medium to large bowl, place all sugar and butter inside and blend until fluffy. Now add eggs and vanilla. Drop in the flour bowl ingredients, the oats and chocolate chips. Stir together. 

Do you see the dough now? Are you excited? Make mini meatballs with the dough, place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Now take the rest and freeze it in a zip lock bag or air tight container for up to 30 days.  Makes two dozen. Cut into the frozen dough as often as you want, just reseal it properly. Enjoy!

Healthy Lifestyle!


Hey you, it's MarilynTheChef and this is exactly right! Eating well is a day to day journey! It's not a quick fix, a starvation routine, it is about rejuvenating yourself every day you breath life! Eating well is better than gold!

What was your first meal of the day and what will be your last? Just think about it, plan it, figure it out, it's not as complicated as it seems. When you're running around and not sure what to eat, choose something healthy. That does not mean you can only eat a salad or drink a smoothie! How about something freshly cooked, not deep fried, and can spoil if not refrigerated! Forget about the packaged microwavable assortment! Choice your healthy lifestyle! You deserve it! One day at a time!

Eat well, Not less! Live long, Not hard! Build a Divine Appetite!
