Simple Joyful Food

small ideas that add joy to life

Breakfast oatmeal bean cookies. Yes, beans!

July 11, 2010 3 Comments
I came across this recipe from a healthy-conscious food blogger named Julie during a recent girls night out (#gno) twitter party held by Bush’s Beans.
Seriously, aren’t you just a tiny bit intrigued by a cookie that has the word “breakfast” (aka a hearty start to your day) and “beans” in the title?  Me, too!
They’re grrrreeat!  Yes, they are hearty and chewy and just the right amount of sweet!  I used Hersey’s Special Dark chocolate chips and I feel great about my decision.  Plus, I substituted with gluten-free white rice flour for whole wheat and it worked great!
Delightful!
Click here to access the recipe.  Thanks Julie!
Happy eating!

    Girls night out sponsored by a bean company?? How was I not invited? 😉 So up my alley! So glad you liked the cookies! I've since done them with lentils, too…

    It’s in Indonesian, and it doesn’t show up right at that link. Can you please post the full recipe here to save what might be fruitless searching?

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am rea There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am ready for it! Yet..... that doesn't mean that I'm still hopeful for some cool mornings where we can light a fire!

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!
Isn't it interesting how two things with the same Isn't it interesting how two things with the same word can convey entirely different moods?

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
