Lounging & Cookies

Most times, the wrong diet is not always the preferred choice but the available choice. In trying to be healthy, I have no problems at all. I love to cook and I love variety. Some times however the portions served are a bit ouch! in comparison to the exercise done(hahaha).


The sin I am yet to conquer, is the sin of having so much crisps, cakes,cookies and freshly made croissants! God help me!. I have overcome fizzy drinks, in fact I cant remember the last time I had one. I got upset with the sugar content of the smoothies I get from my grocery store especially when I pay a bit higher for the named brands, so I started making mine fresh. And I promise you, anyone who has my smoothies always comes back for more(hahaha).  I have loads of water, I could compete with a fish which is good hahaha

Yesterday however as I had my feet up after work and watched tv, I decided to make some cookies with oats. I cook really well but when it comes to baking, I have a bit of a cold feet. I just think its so much work. But in August, I decided to challenge myself to start doing some baking and I am making an effort(hahaha)

For the cookies, I used:
Original rolled oats(porridge oats)
Yeast
Natural Greek Yogurt
Slices of Peaches
Honey
Peanut butter
Semi skimmed banana flavoured milk

Please do not ask me for measurements because that was discretionary  (hahaha, what a fabulous cook I am!). I just mixed them all together and I came out with this

I lined the baking pan with baking paper and the oven was already at 220 degrees centigrade, After about 10 minutes I reduced it to about 140 degrees centigrades and left it for another 10 minutes and I came out with this

It might not look the best, but it tasted absolutely Yum! My initial plan was to use blueberries, but I had none left and next time, I am adding no honey.I  don't think its necessary but I will be adding more nuts. I am taking this healthy living seriously(hahaha). How about you? Share some tips. 

Going to have a hot cuppa with my left over cookies, and did I say its so filling? You hardly feel peckish after this at least for the next 5 hours.

Word for Today!

2015 Mission Accomplished! "Back 2 School"

And Yes, we are proud to say that our target was to have 4 children enrolled in the best private schools in their various regions and we made it. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all who contributed in several ways, you made a difference to these lives. From the before and after pictures, its difficult to say that they are the same children. It just goes to show that everyone can be great if given the right opportunity. They are having the best form of education, lunch provided, all books provided, school bags, private tutors for after school lessons as most of them need intensive lessons to be at par with children of their ages, and this is all made possible by Ellyeleanor foundation. We hope to help many more children but cant do it without you. We are coming up with a project, that literally says "adopt my bills".... In this you literally adopt responsibility of a child's welfare and you will get regular feedback from us. Once in a while, it would be a delight if you could be at the child's open days, sports activities, school functions etc.

This project is made possible by several private schools too that have given the charity a huge discount and if they had not done this, this dream would not have come to fruition.
We are grateful to
1. Goldenchild International Nursery and Primary School
2.Keystone Montesori Primary School
3. Christian International Primary School.

These schools are all located in Imo state Nigeria and are noted as part of the best in the state. Other schools have also accepted partnering with us, and as the funds are made possible, new projects will commence. We really need you to be part of this.
And for all who have been supportive of this cause, we are so grateful and can't thank you enough. You have indeed written your name in gold in many hearts
