Pantry Challenge Continues

Deep in the depths of my cabinet, I find a half bag of something stashed away in Tupperware. What is it? Oh, it's Classy Chocolate Pound Cake from Tastefully Simple. Interesting. That product hasn't been in the last three catalogs ... making it at least 18 months old.

Was still delicious.

We have an abundance of raisins and oatmeal in the house, so I searched the internet for a semi-healthy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. I found this by Nick Malgieri. Malgieri has a book called Perfect Light Desserts: Fabulous Cakes, Cookies, Pies, and More Made with Real Butter, Sugar, Flour, and Eggs, All Under 300 Calories Per Generous Serving. (What a title.) Internet reviews of his oatmeal raisin cookie recipe have raved about it, so I think I'll give it a try. If it's a success, I may have to consider his book.
