Travel With Me Abroad

Hello to all.  I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my upcoming adventures through Themetrip.  In the next couple of months my husband and I will be starting a new chapter in our lives with our big move to Brussels, Belgium. 
A little about the upcoming blog and myself: 
I love food! While eating breakfast I’m already talking about dinner. I will be posting notes and pictures of where we dine, what we eat and sometimes what I cook.  
I love adventures! With my husband being in the Navy, we have had and have the ability to visit and experience places all over the world.  I will post about our travels and experiences while living in Belgium.

Breakfast Cookies

I have been on a cookie-baking marathon over the last two weeks.  I really enjoy having a cookie in the morning with my coffee.  Doesn’t everyone?  I know it’s not healthy, but neither is eating a croissant everyday for 2 months, which is so nice to do in Brussels.  So I decided to bake, bake, bake until I came up with a cookie that I could eat and not feel guilty about eating in the morning while drinking my coffee. 
This is not going to be a sweet cookie.  It’s a breakfast cookie.  I really like having four or five (Yes, I eat four or five of them with no guilt) of them in the morning with my coffee and a banana.  Place a tbsp. of peanut butter on your plate too for some extra protein. Enjoy.
Recipe adapted from Cookie and Kate’s Low Fat Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies.


Breakfast cookies:
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
2 cups mixed oats (I use Dorset Cereals with hazelnuts, brazil nuts, raisins and dates) find a mix that you like. 
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. flaxseed
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tbsp. maple syrup or 2 tbsp. brown sugar.  I have made them both ways.  The brown sugar makes it a tad sweeter. You can also try 2 tbsp. sugar.
1 large egg
1 large banana
1/2 tsp vanilla

·      Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit  (180 Celsius) Line baking sheet with parchment paper
·      Whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and flaxseed
·      Cream together the butter and sugar of your choice. 
·      Add mashed banana, egg and vanilla extract
·      Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients
·       Place about a tbsp. or a little more onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12min

They don't look so appealing but sure they're healthy.

I actually make an oatmeal-raisin breakfast cookie (yogurt, honey, WW flour), but these sound better. I'll give them a try!

If you try them, please let me know what you think. The yogurt, honey oatmeal-raisin sounds pretty good. I wonder if we could combine the recipes. I don't think my cookies look appealing at all. I was debating on posting a picture. I'm glad Mai Tran wrote what we were all thinking.

    About Nakoma

    I have always had a passion for Art.  After attending five colleges (Navy families move…a lot) I earned my BA in Art History.  I’m thinking our first few tours will be art, art, art and then food, food, food.  I will post information about the tours we do.  

    Please note, that my blog posts will not be consistent.  We have a very busy, and fun schedule ahead of us, that might limit my time to post. 


    For those who plan to follow, enjoy!

    Cheers!
