Making some cookies.. 

Banana and Bran Breakfast Cookies..

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp cinnamon powder

1/2 cup butter or margarine at room temperature

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup ripe banana mashed

1 cup cereal corn flakes or other types I used bran because I didn't have corn flakes ..

1/2 cup raisins

Beat butter and sugar till creamy with mixer or wooden spoon. Mix egg and bananas. Mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together. 
Add the dry ingredients to the mixture with a wooden spoon. Add slightly crushed cereal and raisins, mix well till everything is blended.

Drop tablespoonful on a greased baking sheet 2" apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 13 minutes, until it is golden brown and the bottom of the cookies are done. 
The middle of the cookie will be like a cake, test with a skewer inserted in the middle to be sure. Don't over bake.

Remove from the oven and keep the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then remove and cool in a wire rack. 

Seafood again.. 

Pasta with Mussels and Basil..

Strawberry Season here in the Maritimes of Canada..

Over 40 bottles of jam made... Yummy...

A great standby... 

Olive Oil Oven Fries.. 

The new potatoes are now available so the old potatoes are the only ones that make great fries... 

Right?  

With sea salt and a squeeze of lemon... 

Each day I find myself snapping a picture or two in the kitchen - a pile of ingredients, a table waiting for us to gather around, a sink full of soapy dishes, a cup of tea, dinner as it comes out of the oven - simple, everyday moments in the kitchen. These photos serve as a reminder of days gone by and as encouragement to carry on in this busy kitchen of ours when inspiration is lacking.

Hope you enjoyed this little blog hop.. I realize it is not to everyone's taste.. (no pun intended.. grin) but will try and do it every couple of weeks.. 

Thanks for visiting and your sweet comments.. 

God bless..
