Yummy Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies- 2 WW pts/cookie

I first tasted this cookie when I was visiting a friend for a playdate for our daughters.  I found these cookies irrestistible then and still find them irrestistible now!  Thanks Tanya for a great cookies recipe!!!  This is a simple, tasty and filling cookie.  Even my picky 5 year old likes these cookies! I lightened the recipe up a little bit from the original and it came in at only 2 Weight Watchers points per cookie and tasted just as yummy.

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookie

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp light margarine
1/4 cup egg beaters or egg substitute
1/2 cup reduced fat peanut butter
1 medium mashed banana
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)

Mix all ingredient together thoroughly, then drop by spoonful onto a lightly sprayed cookie sheet.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Very yummy -- great as a breakfast cookie on a morning when you are in a hurry.  The oatmeal, peanut butter, and banana are very filling and help keep those hunger pangs at bay.

New Hobby -- Clay jewelry and crafts with Sculpey Clay

Image
One of my friends got me started making jewelry about 2 years ago.  I tried selling necklaces and earrings at one point early on but discovered that making money by making jewelry is not the easiest thing in the world especially since it seems like eveyone is into making jewelry.  I still enjoy making jewelry, but I am getting overloaded with necklaces.  I mean really, a person can only wear so many necklaces.  So just recently I decided to expand my jewelry making into actually making the beads and pendants themselves.  On a recent trip to Michael's, our local craft store, I discovered Sculpey clay that can be baked in a regular oven.  I bought a DVD put out by Sculpey on different processes and steps to making certain types of items, jewelry, luggage tags, picture frames, etc.  It teaches the basic techniques to obtaining certain basic looks that can be expanded on to make more elaborate pieces.  I have been experimenting with it the last...

"Normal"

Well,  I went back to work today and Jaelyn went back to school.  Life goes on as "normal."  I had a pretty good day at work and Jaelyn had a good first day of school.  So why am I angry?  How can life go on as normal with one of the most important people in my life gone?  I don't want normal again -- life isn't normal when your spouse dies at such a young age with no warning.  My mind and my heart want to fight against normal.  Normal makes it feel like it wasn't a big deal that Scott died and that he didn't matter, and it was and is a big deal and he did matter.  Yet life must go on.  It doesn't seem right.  I want life to just pause for a moment to acknowledge the significance of Scott's life gone, yet life goes on.  It is hard to move on, plan for the future that he was always to be a part of and now is not. I know I'm not the first person to experience grief and loss and will not be the last person.  I know that Sco...
