Quinoa cookies

I wanted to make some healthy snacks. yes I need wheat flour and counting the time I said to myself, aloud and the inhabitants of the house, they say they heard it four times. I have quinoa. And a recipe, Quinoa chocolate cookies  called for almond milk. So follows a mix-up of

1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup almond milk
1 mashed banana
2 tbsps of oil
3 tbsps of cocoa powder
1 cup cooked quinoa

If you have baked enough, in your soup days, you'll remember the cake that fell flat and you called it pudding. The above recipe results in that version of cookies. The test for these cookies is 'snack time' tomorrow. Will they stand up?
And after the grocery trip, there will be crackers.

Verdict:

In the morning, I gave her 2 cookies. She held one, the edge pliant. I thought she might just leave it at that, but she likes it.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
