Our Favorite Oatmeal Cookie Recipe


 Sever was flipping through my photos and when he came to this picture he looked at me and said, "Holly!!!  These are the BEST cookies!"  Haha!  So I did take this picture the last time I made them with the intention of posting the recipe on here for ya'll.  Hopefully you get a chance to make them, you will not be disappointed .   Perk: this is a recipe from Weight Watchers, and before you roll your eyes take it from me... I am a food snob, these cookies are amazing and somewhat good for you!  Enjoy! 

Ingredients

3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour 
1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked quick oats 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
1/4 tsp table salt 
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
1/2 tsp ground ginger 
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 large egg white(s)  

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a medium bowl. Place butter in a large bowl or in the bowl of a mixer and beat butter for a few seconds. Gradually add sugars and beat to combine. 

Add egg white to butter mixture and beat to combine. Add dry ingredients and beat to combine.

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake until set and golden, about 11 to 14 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Yields 2 cookies per serving.

Humpback Whales Bubble Netting


 I woke up to a beautiful sunny morning and was excited to get a picture of the sun coming up.  I drove south of town and stumbled upon 2 humpback whales bubble netting....it was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen! It was amazing to see this magical act of nature.  Needless to say I chased around these whales for 3 hours before I got too cold and headed home.  Enjoy the photos!

Family Photographs


This Past weekend I took some Christmas card pictures for some friends.  It was fun to do a little fall photo session, the weather has been beautiful here in Oregon.  I have posted these pictures and many more on my facebook page and I can't believe how many more people want me, yes ME, to take their pictures as well. I already have two more families set up with appointments.  I am loving photography at the moment!  This could be the start of something very wonderful :)

Harvest 2010



My Dad







 









This past week is usually one of the craziest weeks of the year for the Bryant family, filbert harvest!  My dad must work around the fall rain to get the nuts in.  Farming is 100% stressful 99% of the time. I was able to help my dad on Friday, here are a couple of pictures I snapped in between helping :)
Happy Fall!
