Strawberry Fantasticness !

This is another Annie Phyo recipe and it was so so so good !
I made this in a margarita glasses last night ... next time we're going to do them in shot glasses.
It was so rich ... you just don't need that much of it !!

Here's what you do ...

Blend 1 cup strawberries with 1/4 cup agave nectar.
Clean your blender.
Blend 1 cup cashews, 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup water.
I sliced strawberries and put them in the bottom of each glass.
Then I added the cashew cream.
Then I added the strawberry/agave syrup.
Topped with more sliced strawberries.
Mmmmmmmmm !!

Agave and Honey Oat Cookies

I got the recipe for this at Cookie Madness.net - A site well worth checking out !
I made a couple amendments so I will post my amended recipe here ...

2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons agave nectar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1/8 teaspoon EACH baking soda & baking powder
1/4 scant teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup raisins (next time I'm going to try adding dried apricots as well) (and the time after that I am going to try adding just fresh blueberries ....)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix egg, agave, honey, oil and vanilla together in a bowl. Stir very well.

Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir very well, then add to agave mixture and stir until blended. Stir in the oats and raisins. Let batter sit for about 5 minutes.

Using a tablespoon measure, scoop up dough and arrange on parchment lined cookie sheets spacing 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10-11 minutes. Let cool completely.

Makes 8 cookies.

I doubled this recipe. The cookies were good for days. So filling that you only needed ( or even wanted ) one at a sitting ! Fantastic. Perfect for school lunches or a Mommy's breakfast on the run !!
