Weekend Recipe: Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Whew! What a name! They are oh so good though! Earlier this week I was searching for a recipe. I really like Quaker Breakfast Cookies but I thought I could make healthier and cheaper breakfast cookies. I found a recipe that sounded like it fitted the bill. And they do! These are some seriously delicious cookies! I wanted some chocolate in them so I cut back a little on the walnuts and added some chocolate chips.

Weekend Recipe: Cheesecake Brownies

Just the other day, I was craving cheesecake and looking around pinterest. Usually looking at pinterest while hungry is not a good idea but this time it was. I found several pins where people combined cheesecake and brownies. Cheesecake and chocolate!? Could it get any better!? I had to try it! And that's just what I did today.

You know you want to try it too so here's what to do:
Combine the ingredients for your favorite brownie recipe and your favorite cheesecake recipe in separate bowls. I was a little lazy this time and used a brownie mix. Pour the brownie mixture (saving about half for later) into a 9x13 cake pan. Add the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie mixture. Dollop the remaining brownie mixture onto the cheesecake mixture and gently swirl it to create a marble effect. My little helper got a little over zealous with the marbling so it kind of disappeared in places. But that didn't effect the taste! Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Cool before serving.

My helpers:

The finished product: Yum!
