Here’s a simple kid friendly dessert:
Take 1 banana and slice it lengthwise and then cut it into pieces.
Spread caramel topping
BTW, bananas are a superfood. Full of potassium, Vitamin C, folate, magnesium and fiber.

I was hungry for ginger cookies and came across this recipe in the 12/22/09 issue of Soap Opera Digest, so I gave it a try. They were delicious!!!! I couldn’t stop eating them.
4TBS butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses – I substituted 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup water
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt – I did not use any salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
sugar for topping – I used cinnamon sugar
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together, then add the molasses(or maple syrup and water) and egg. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough.
Roll the dough into small balls. Dip the top of each into a little sugar (or cinnamon sugar). Place on a baking sheet, making sure there’s enough room between the cookies for them to expand. Flatten out with a fork.
Put in the oven and bake for 8 – 10 minutes.
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk.
These are my favorite cookies. Delicious!!!!
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1 cup(2 sticks) country crock, or unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet, or Hersheys dark, chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine flour, baking soda, oatmeal & cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat country crock or butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar & vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beating after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and blueberries.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
These are great served with a cold glass of milk.
Health Benefits
Even though these are cookies, they do have a few healthful ingredients.
Cinnamon is great for helping lower cholesterol and blood sugar and reduce arthritis pain.
Oatmeal provides fiber.
I use the Country Crock which contains calcium plus Vitamin D.
Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and helps lower blood pressure.
Blueberries are also full of antioxidants and help improve memory, protect against aging, cancer, heart disease, urinary tract infections, constipation and improve mood.
