I was wondering if anyone could recommend cookie recipes. My mom makes great cookies, but they're not the healthiest.
It seems weird to ask about cookie recipes on a thread that's been all healthy so far... I'm curious though.

I don't have a specific recipe, but, when I bake, I like to substitute coconut oil for butter (3/4:1, coco to butter). And I use honey where I can instead ov sugar; but this can have some unexpected results, so I more experiment with honey than utilize it.
I'd love to hear some more suggestions!

You can combine honey and coconut oil to milk. Cinnamon and salt to taste [yes, taste it]. Add 1 egg for each 1/4 cup of milk. Mix until foamy. Heat pan on stove medium heat until a drop of water dances across it [get your fingers wet and drip some water into pan]. While waiting for pan to heat, soak day old bread in mixture. Put a little bit of olive oil in pan and turn heat down a notch. Place bread into heated pan. Cook one side until middle rises up slightly and cooking side is golden. Turn over. Cook until golden brown and middle is cooked [middle will rise up then slowly go back down]. Be patient with this step. Serve with fruit and chilled yogurt.
Also, want a new idea for turkey, beef or ham? Heat [chopped] meat with cooked onions, [and cooked with any or all of following] green peppers, celery, carrots, squash diced small, broccoli, cauliflower. When this is cooked enough and ready to serve, leave in the pan and add some [not much just enough to get everything wet and juicy] orange or apple juice into pan. It'll sizzle. Quickly mix the food with the sizzling juice. Spoon over toasted bread, rice or pasta.
Need to consume more veges and just can't for whatever reason? Puree [in a blender or food processor] the veges. Add tomatoes and apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, dill weed, tumeric and other spices to taste. Now you've made your own V-8 juice! Use this as a quick mid day drink. Or add some to cooked ground/chopped meat. Heat. Serve over pasta or rice.
I cook by look and taste. Combining odd foods and spices for awesome tastes!

I have used honey as a substitute for sugar in cupcakes. I wdnt by feel as I disnt want them to turn out too sweet. Luckily it was a succes. I added 80% of the amount of honey in grams compared to the sugar. (so 200 g sugar would be in my recipe 160 g honey)
One can still taste the honey in the cupcakes.
Different kinds of sugar have different kinds of consistency. You have also ahorn syrup or birch tree juice.
There are even different kinds of sweeteners whom are.. Perhaps not so much sweet or even more sweet in taste, so could be that in some recipes you need to use more fluids and in others less.
Wl experiment and lets make some interesting things :)

Just choice a recipe online, and go from there.
It's what I did.
In sugar I put morena pure cane sugar comes from Wal-Mart or I get it raw the one them more expensive of course along with that instead of putting 1 cup like Thy recommend I put 1/4 to 1/3 depending on my taste especially if I put chocolate chips in it.
The chips go to 60% to 70% is what I like to use sense I don't like my stuff to damn sweet like Thy always make.
The other thing I do is add oats to it I adjust to fit my taste and what I think is healthy. Of course most of the stuff I use is expensive sense even down to the flour lol most I say is all organic.
When u make the cookies just taste it and adjust.
But honey is a good sub, I prob wouldnt go with coconut sugar taste is strong at least for me is.
For me I would stay away from white sugar though and cut the recipe down.
All I can give as advice. Sense I can't find the one I went off from.
The other thing that can be adjusted is the oil, some say use vegetable oil but I don't use that I use what's better for me and I try to cut back a little because that's my taste. Or I break it with a little bit of butter and then oil. I used coconut oil or avocado oil.
I like making bread more of course that I also play a little with it to work my taste buds.
Best luck other wise

I'm a bit late entrant in here but wanted to share kidney beans in wrap recepie. For that have some finely diced onions(use veggie dicer or food processor for that), then red kidney beans and hung yoghurt(hung yoghurt is ordinary yoghurt hung atleast for an hour in lint free cloth to remove its water content ), some italian herbs for taste. Then mix all of it in proportion you like. Put this mixture in any thin bread like pita bread, Indian Roti or something else. I'd prefer Indian Roti for this. Make a roll after putting mixture or put the mixture in centre and make a pocket by closing it like a letter thus making the roti cover the mixture completely. Then bake it in butter on a pan. Always use whole wheat flour for rotis and maybe fermentation if time permits using yeast or with natural yeast in flour.

Msg is found naturally in foods themselves. The practice of adding it extra is recent one. Usually from what i tried oyster sauce or even water of mushrooms has enough msg in natural form. Even soya sauce has. Only chinese have habit of adding synthetic one. Japanese food even doesn't mention msg. Unani taste can be obtained by using combination as i mentioned above.

Gruel
Gruel is a type of thin porridge which is very easy on the stomach and great to have as a meal when feeling ill.
It also warms the body so great for cold mornings.
It's also very cheap.
I use oat bran which is less than $2 a bag..
1 pint of water should be set in a saucepan to low heat.
Mix 3 tablespoons of oat bran with a small amount of cold water to form a paste.
Add to the saucepan and simmer on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes to desired consistency.
Add honey to taste during the cooking process.
Drink up!
