The omega-3’s I have been eating must be working since I came up with two ‘food innovations’ today. They may not get me global recognition but I am pleased, and I will be regularly using one of them.

The first innovation is what you see above. You can call it a marble coconut cookie, a 2 in 1 cookie or a discolored cookie. It really is two cookies in one. I had frozen dough for two different cookies - coconut oat molasses cookies and double coconut cookies. There wasn’t much dough so I decided to mix them. They were awesome. Both cookies were coconut based so there was some matching flavours. There was one problem – only enough dough to make three cookies. 

And the second innovation is what you see below. The photo is certainly not award winning. You can call is flat noodles, flat dumplings or even fresh pasta. What I liked was the simplicity of preparing it, and the end result, soft dumplings. I will for sure be making these often. The secret recipe is available here. By the way a better looking picture should be making an appearance in the near future.

Blueberries are sometimes affectionately referred to as super fruits. Now extreme super fruits have been discovered in the wilds of Latin America. 

Researchers have found that two species of wild blueberries native to the tropical regions of Central and South America contain two to four times more antioxidants than the blueberries sold in the U.S. Although these blueberries are wild species that are not currently commercially available, the scientists believe that they have the potential to become a popular food item or health supplement if their high antioxidant content becomes better known.

So these won’t be available anytime soon unless you happen to be heading to Latin America for a walk in the wild. In the meantime be content with regular blueberries which are just super fruits!
