Easy Breakfast Cookies

Easy breakfast cookies will perk up your breakfast , if you are the sort of the person who skips breakfast or just can't be bothered. Don't fear here is an easy idea that takes no time at all.

Ingredients

2 mashed bananas 

Muesli

Method

If you don't like muesli , you can just use oats and add extra things like dried fruit and/ or nuts .

When the mashed bananas are in a bowl, add the muesli and stir the mixture up.
Place the mixture in dollops ( I use a dessert spoon and then another dessert spoon on top just to give the shape of the cookie some uniformity) place the dollops on a lines or greased baking sheet.

Bake at 190 for 10-15 minutes or until set and golden brown.
These will be very soft cookies! If you want them to be crunchy , use more muesli /less banana

Torte towers & Meal Planning

Torte towers is what  I'm going to call this it was meant to be a cake but it didn't turn out that way so I had to think on my feet and turn it something in the end which was quite spectacular. I was trying to following a Hairy Bikers recipe and I was confidant of my culinary prowess I suspect I was a bit cocky.

I followed the recipe but decided not to ground the nuts up and I used milk chocolate instead so I thought that's fair enough and the recipe would work with my changes. How wrong was I , it didn't rise as I thought it would. In this age of food waste I really don't like throwing food out and especially as I had used all those egg yolk and eggs white, I could sense that if I was in the Bake off Paul Hollywood would have been glaring his smokey blue eyes in my direction. I think Mary berry would have been sympathetic but I do know that I think they would have celebrated my final result which saw me coming back from the brink of baking disaster.

Souls sing upon a woodland walk


Souls sings upon a woodland walk..

Do I mind being a solitary creature?
Not in the slightest ..,

For when you are me these are the wonders that you do see...


A step back in time ... 

An medieval workings now a wood ..

Souls sing...


Nature and minds awaken ..



Sounds of nature abound and leaves fall silently upon the ground ....



Footsteps that were once unsure now seek atriputation in every windy corridor ...



Would you touch upon my world?


And leave it intact for me ...
