OATMEAL FRUIT COOKIES

These cookies took about 15-20 minutes to make and with just a handful of healthy ingredients. I made a batch and once again almost ate the whole thing!  When a picky 3 year old approves of your baked goods you give the recipe to the world so, here goes….

1 Cup Oatmeal 1 Banana 1/2 Cup Cranberries 2 Tbsp Raisins 2 Tbsp Chopped Walnuts 2 Tsp Organic Vanilla Extract 1 Tsp Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F

– Mix/Blend ingredients together and roll into balls -Place balls on greased cookie sheet flatten and bake for 20 minutes or until brown

ENJOY!

Radish Salad & Blackberry Vinaigrette

The other day I had some left over blackberries (from my attempt at making berry smoothie popsicles) and so I decided to venture out of my comfort zone of baking and cooking to a more simplified yet tasty dish. In this delicious salad I added some vegan store bought “nuggets” (not pictured),  but the star of the salad was the blackberry vinaigrette!  So easy to make and it added a pleasant healthy punch to an already good for you dish!

Vegan Carob/Choco Cake

Happy New Year! I must say it’s been a busy year for me – in fact ever since baby number 2 was born I feel I’ve been going nonstop, hence the extended blogging hiatus. One thing I haven’t stopped doing is keeping healthy – Sure I’ve had a few too many vegan sweets and treats here and there but I can safely say I haven’t fallen off the vegan train! Fig & Pear will progress and transform over time you won’t only just see recipes but scriptural devotions for mental well being, skincare product analysis and reviews, herbal remedies and specific plant based foods to eat to combat illnesses and restore health.

I hope you stick around because there will be extremely valuable information shared.
