Today was a great cookie cooking and eating day! The theme of todays baking was quick and easy, and butter-free. I tried different flavour combinations with polenta including coconut, chocolate, ginger, apricot jam and raisins. They all worked well, in their own special way. I will post a recipe hopefully in a day or two.
The cookies are really quick and easy to make. It is great, on the other hand it is not always good when certain things are too easy. The idea of having cookies ready in about 15 minutes can be dangerous if the craving cannot be ‘tamed’! The recipe is available here.

Care2 has an interesting article discussing 7 natural energy boosters. I was unfamiliar with all of them except one – cayenne. Cayenne surprised me since I did not expect it so be an energy booster. Cayenne boosts energy by improving circulation. It also helps ward off colds, sinus infections, and sore throats, and reduce pain and inflammation. Now there is even greater incentive to eat spicy food!
The other 6 energy boosters are bee pollen, royal jelly extract, Siberian ginseng, spirulina, gotu kola and ho shou wu.
