A first for me, I have been invited to join a Facebook page ‘Good Eats‘ dedicated to people that love food. I have therefore spent the past few days looking at an inspiring stream of new recipes. One of the many that caught my eye was a very simple oatmeal chocolate cookie recipe.  It introduced me to coconut sugar, which I somehow did not know existed before now (I also know it’s very expensive!) and I guess will become part of my cooking repetoire.

These are quite tasty little numbers! Very moreish and not too sweet! I have eaten 3 already. These are definitely going to make a regular appearance in my packed lunch box.
