I definitely want heavier foods this time of year. But for me, the worst thing is that I drink more coffee. My coffee intake is already measured in pots, not cups, so more is going to be measurable in bathtubs!

I just opened a can of macadamia nuts and I'm perking a fresh pod of coffee to go with it. As long as it's sunny, I'm not craving goodies but when it's rainy, overcast and cold, I am reaching for the cookies. Ack!

That bar cookie recipe sounds DIVINE! Now I have an excuse to go out and buy chocolate chips.

Here's a recipe I picked up at the Clucking Hen in Cape Breton, NS. It's a great pre- and post-workout goodie.

Oat Cakes

3 cups flour
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup cold water

Mix ingredients together. Roll out onto floured board and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy with a good hot cup of Cape Breton tea.

Editor's note: I halved the recipe and pressed it in the cookie sheet lined with quick release foil rather than rolling it out onto a floured board. After it cooled, I cut it into squares.
