My mouth is saturated with the aftertaste of cinnamon and molasses. I am still savoring little bits of sticky cranberries and raisins in my molars. The cookie I have just baked is amazing. It is so simple and perfect. Thanks to Jamison Studio for this delicious oatmeal cookie recipe.
Rule #58 in Michael Pollan’s book, Food Rules says, “Do all your eating at a table.” I am breaking that rule right now as I type this post with a plate of hot cookies to my left. I pray I have the willpower to stop at two.
I am so happy with these cookies because a) I experimented by using brown rice flour b) they are so easy to make it’s ridiculous c) I used less sweetener than is called for in the original recipe and they are still incredibly sweet. Not only are they sweet, they have a perfect texture. I worry a little about using applesauce in cookie recipes because sometimes the cookie ends up dense and rubbery. Not these. These little gems are perfect. If you would like to see the original recipe, click on the blog above. Otherwise, what I provide below is the exact recipe I used, with all my fudging arounds. As with any recipe, substitute to your liking. Try different flours, dried fruit, spices, sweeteners, etc. The following is what I consider the perfect oatmeal cookie.
Super Easy & Terrific Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1/2 C. white whole wheat flour
1/2 C. brown rice flour
1 C. whole oats
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 C. raisins
1 handful dried, apple juice-sweetened cranberries
1/4 C. raw honey
1/4 C. oil*
1/4 C. applesauce
1 Tbsp. molasses
1 egg**
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 335 degrees F. Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients in a separate bowl and then combine. Add in nuts, dried fruits, etc. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden colored.
*You can use 1/2 C. applesauce instead of any oil, but I wanted to try using both this time.
**Jamison used 1/2 a banana instead of an egg and she said it turned out great.
Enjoy!
Now that I’m done writing this, I realized I stopped at 3 cookies. I was hoping for only two but at least I didn’t get into that over-indulging state of mind that would have beckoned me to happily have more than 3.
Stay tuned! Cookie pictures to be posted as soon as I figure out what the problem is with loading issues on blogger…..

Greensations is announcing the launch of the world’s first anti-aging soap made with the power of nature’s own hot peppers under their popular ThermaSkin brand. Although the formula contains Capsaicin (natural pepper extract), there is no burning sensation because the dose is so small, but the results are big.
Capsaicin has been clinically proven to improve skin elasticity by increasing epidermal blood flow and reducing inflammation, but this is the first product to use capsaicin in a naturally mild face soap. ThermaSkin Facial Cleanser combines natural pepper extract with Green Tea, Jewelweed, Thyme, Sage and Cranesbill Root. This innovative formula is then mixed into a base of natural Castile soap, Witch Hazel and Cucumber water.
ThermaSkin’s proprietary formula instantly tightens sagging skin while unclogging pores and replenishing color. Aside from increasing topical circulation, the capsaicin also desensitizes nerve fibers to neutralize topical skin reactions caused by environmental pollutants, sun damage, makeup and chemically based personal care products. ThermaSkin Facial Cleanser is also packaged in a self foaming pump bottle that doesn’t require harmful sulfate based foaming chemicals like other soaps and non-soap cleansers.
“Our ThermaSkin pepper soap increases topical circulation and absorption on contact. A tiny bit goes a long way and it can be used anywhere on the body. It’s great for removing dirt, oils and makeup, but it also works as a daily anti-aging treatment to reduce wrinkles and tighten skin without drying. Small doses of topical capsaicin also combat a variety of common skin conditions including acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and more. It leaves your skin feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom. The results are amazing, says Wayne Perry, founder of Greensations.
A 2006 study conducted by the Department of Bio-Defense Medicine, at the Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences in Japan, showed topical capsaicin significantly increases skin elasticity. According to the study headed by Naoaki Harada and Kenji Okajima,
“Capsaicin increases calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from sensory neurons by stimulating vanilloid receptor-1 (VR-1). Since CGRP increases the production of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in fetal (osteoblasts in vitro), it is possible that sensory neuron activation by capsaicin increases production of IGF-I. Topical application of 0.01% capsaicin to faces of 17 healthy female volunteers for seven days significantly increased cheek skin elasticity. These observations suggest that topical application of capsaicin and related compounds might be useful in the treatment of detrimental morphological changes of the skin in patients with growth hormone deficiency and those in the elderly by increasing dermal IGF-I levels”.
In laymen’s terms, capsaicin appears to reverse the aging process in skin by triggering nerve receptors to create new growth while repairing damaged cells. As nerve receptors in the skin respond to small doses of capsaicin, they trigger the body to increase the production of natural chemicals such as Collagen and Elastin. This leads to a complete rejuvenation of skin cells.

Ever tried seeing all the anti-aging skin care products out here at the same time? You will just be flooded of how many they really are! Antiaging
They are almost everywhere, you can find these at discount stores such as Wal-Mart and Target, at drug stores like Walgreens and CVS, at supermarkets, at discount clubs like Sam’s and Costco, and at department stores like Macy’s and Dillard’s. Have you ever thought if the people working at these stores have any idea regarding skin care? Can you ask them about the best anti-aging products and get a straight answer? The department stores can be a possible source but getting help from the other stores, you can just erase them from your list.
There are even ladies who will have a “party” in your home so they can show you and your friends all of their serums and creams. Believe me, the last thing I want to do is invite all of my friends over for a big sales pitch.
Our dollars can really formulate such competition! Hundreds of companies are telling us that their products will reduce the signs of aging, stop crow’s feet from spreading, and make our skin smooth and glowing.
However, which creams really work? Which moisturizers sink into your skin and do not give a slimy feeling? Does it really make sense when you purchase one brand when they offer their occasional free gift with purchase? Antiaging Cream
These advertising campaigns really exhaust me that much. It was giving me a headache to see the ads on TV, in my favorite magazines, and try to read their labels in stores.
To me, the real proof is found within the people who have actually tried the products. I am glad to come across AntiAgingOnline.net, a web site that provided me with the ideas that I need on anti-aging creams, lotions, drugs, supplements, and serum I wanted to try through the available product reviews and inside scoop it displays on the site.
Have you ever tried to talk to someone at a department store makeup counter about the anti-aging aspects of their products? Although they may have all of the information from the manufacturer in their minds, they only pitch that out through a lot of pleasantries but lacking the product specifics I wanted to know. Like how will it work on me? When can I expect to see results? Provided with a daytime moisturizer, must I still have a night serum as well? Could you provide any customers who can give their testimonies of experiencing the product so I can make my decision?
What really impressed me much about Anti-Aging Online web site is that it is as if I am asking the customers about their opinions towards the products. It appears like a guessing game whenever I try to find out which product would work for me. I felt assured when I made my first order and I know that I did not waste any cent on it. Anti Aging Drug

Susie Wang, founder of 100% Pure, first discovered “fruit pigments” while she was in her organic garden, picking blackberries and she noticed the beautiful blackberry pigments that stained her fingers. That’s how Wang got the idea to use these natural pigments from fruits and vegetables for color cosmetics.
Fruit pigments are truly revolutionary and one of the most significant innovations in makeup because all other cosmetics are made with either FD & C Colors (synthetic dyes) or minerals. All of the antioxidants and vitamins in fruits are in the actual pigment, so you will be applying all the healthy nutrients of the fruits directly on your skin. From this discovery, Susie created an entire line of all natural patent –pending fruit and vegetable pigmented color cosmetics under the 100% Pure brand.
About 100% Pure
With a distribution center in Oakland, CA, office in Napa, and Paris, France, 100% Pure formulates all natural, vegan (or vegetarian when honey is in formula), synthetic fragrance free, paraben free, toxic free, gluten free and the most concentrated formulas possible without the use of water, thickeners, and emulsifiers or any other fillers. Cruelty-free 100% Pure products are never tested on animals. As a matter of fact, it is the company’s mission to help and save animals. All of 100% Pure’s products, including their brushes, which are are entirely vegan and cruelty-free. They have even rescued and placed 21 dogs in loving homes in 2009, as well as given financial aid to those who needed it for medical aid for their pets.
Availability: 100% Pure is available at www.100percentpure.com, www.qvc.com, Beauty 360, Ulta and other fine spas and boutiques wordwide.
