Low-Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

I had a fun baking afternoon last week. I whipped up a batch of Low-Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. When I told my daughter Alli what I had made she said,

This new recipe is one of those great finds! It replaces applesauce for some of the fat, giving it plenty of moisture. It has oatmeal in it, too, giving it texture and chewiness. Add those chocolate chips in there and you have a delicious cookie without the guilt!

I’m not convinced it’s the answer for picky eaters, but it was a wonderful recipe for this family of Mexican-loving dishes!

Dressing With Grace – Winter Outfit Inspiration

I think most of us can get into an outfit lull. We wear the same things over and over, even with the same accessories and then we wonder why we look in the mirror and dislike our outfits. We’re bored with it!

I find it so helpful to jump on Pinterest and get some inspiration. I did just that this week!
