3 3 Recipe Name: Awesome Heart-Healthy Oatmeal Cookies Sorella Chef: Julie Gazmararian Chef address: Original Source: Utah State University extension program Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes-1 hour (depending on how many batches you make!) 3/4 cup mashed white beans 3 Tbsp canola oil 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg 3 cups oats (old-fashioned) 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Beat mashed white beans, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy 3. Combine remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix together. 4. Add dry ingredients to bean mixture; mix well 5. Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes ten transfer to wire rack and cool completely Adaptations/Notes: For beans: I often use black beans and/or chickpeas both work well. Could make gluten free if you want to substitute another type of flour for whole wheat flour For step 2: I typically put all those ingredients in food processor much faster! Cookies do not spread when baking so ok to place close together on baking sheet Nuts, coconut, raisins, dates, chocolate chips can be added (I usually add some ghiredelli dark chocolate chips) Hard recipe to mess up with fun to experiment!

4 4 Recipe Name: Salty Balls Sorella Chef: Jennifer Klein Chef address: Original Source: ROAR by Stacy Sims, PhD (great book on elite women athletes food and fitness) Prep Time: about 15 minutes Total Time: 15 min 1/2 cup natural chunky almond or peanut butter (best mixed; almond alone makes the balls too runny) 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (Whole Foods) 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tsp expresso powder (opt.) - I use 1/2 tube of Via instant 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or coconut or the best is almond meal, which you can get in small qty in the bins at Sprouts (this is to roll them in) 1. In microwaveable bowl combine the nut butter and brown rice syrup. Microwave on high for 1 minute, until syrup boils. Note that the longer it boils, the harder the finished ball will be. Stir to combine and add protein powder, cinnamon and expresso powder (if using). 2. Roll into bite size 1 balls. Then roll in (my favorite) almond meal, and sprinkle sea salt on top. Store in airtight container in fridge lasts several weeks. Makes about 2 dozen balls.

5 5 Recipe Name: Sweet Potato Cakes Sorella Chef: Mary Jo Falvey Chef address: Original Source: Feed Zone Portables by Biju Thomas and Allen Lim Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes 2 medium COOKED sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 eggs 2 Tbsp melted butter 2 Tbsp maple syrup 1/4 c. brown rice flour 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon Dash salt 1 cup cooked Rice 1.

Let sit for minutes or in the refrigerator overnight Can add in 1 cup of chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts) The recipe will also make six delicious waffles. Allow extra time for the batter to cook fully. These freeze really well.
