Yes! You can have cookies and watch your weight!

Between my daughter and mother-in-law, their food allergies can make cooking a bit difficult. The combined allergy list for them is as follows: milk, corn, apples, peanuts, red food dye and eggs. The corn and apples are really tough to get around since everything is sweetened with either corn syrup or apple juice.

The milk allergy actually comes from the corn. I see you scratching your heads on that last sentence. In the states, dairy cows are fed a diet mostly of corn, whereas overseas cows are fed more grasses. Did you know up until seven years ago when the food packaging laws changed there were over 30 ingredient names just for milk? Now if you look at the ingredient list on packaged foods, it clearly states in bold print if there is milk, eggs, soy or wheat in the product.

There are several substitutes out there milk, but eggs are a bit harder. When it comes to baking, most everything has eggs in the ingrdient list.

I came across this oatmeal cookie recipe without any eggs. It is called a skinny oatmeal cookie. Some of us might actually think we hit the jackpot with these little gems. You can eat healthy and feed your sweet tooth all at the same time!
