Baby Oatmeal and Banana Bars
been searching for a good recipe for teething biscuits for my grandbaby but they had to be sugarless and honeyless as well. babies under one should not be given honey, so here is a real easy recipe...please supervise your little ones when they eat...
1 ripe banana
handful of oats
preheat oven to 350 degrees
grind oats in a food processor
combine banana with enough ground oatmeal to form a sticky dough
divide the mixture into small pieces and press it into the shapes you want or make it into simple bars
bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown, they will become harder the more they are cooked so if you want a chewier bar do not overbake.

Eggplant Ricotta Bake
I always seem to have food on my mind. I believe that this is indeed building something if not character as I am constantly on a diet. For those of us who belong to the Overeaters Anonymous fraternity food is a constant in our lives. We just have to learn to co-exist! Portion, portion, portion! I truly believe that there is a special place reserved for people who struggle with food addiction in heaven. We will be greeted by saints carrying large platters of brownies and lemonade!
In the meantime something to try:
1 lb ricotta
3 eggs
1 cup grated romano cheese
fresh chopped basil
2 cups marinara sauce
olive oil, salt and pepper
2 large eggplants sliced lengthwise 3/4 inch thick skin on
oven to 450 degrees
brush both sides of eggplant slices, salt ad pepper. roast till tender 20-30 min.
in a bowl, whisk ricotta, eggs, 1/2 cup romano cheese, fresh bsil salt and pepper.
brush bottom and sides of an 8x8 casserole.
place 1/4 of eggplant down, spread with marinara, more eggplant, half ricotta mixture, repeat everything ending with ricotta on top. sprinkle with cheese ND BAKE 25-30 MIN.
cool 15 min so it is easy to cut.
when I double this I bake in a 9x12 pan

Meanwhile cook some basmati rice or your favourite rice, be it brown or white.
When chick peas are soft, remove from heat and serve over the rice.
You can adjust the spices to your personal preferences, I like spicy Indian cuisine so the spice amounts are great for me but you may want to go easy and do a test before you add more...
