Baked Salmon & Oatmeal Cookies

Here's a couple great recipes I've made a couple times and though I'd pass along! We had this super simple salmon for dinner on Saturday night. I got the recipe here on Allrecipes.com, seriously my favorite recipe site!  

Baked Salmon

2- 6 oz salmon fillets

2 cloves garlic, minced

6 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped

1 tbps. fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tbsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the garlic, olive oil, basil, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Place the salmon fillets (I used one large fillet and had leftovers) in a baking dish and the pour marinade over the fish. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (I flipped the salmon halfway between my marinating time). Bake for 35-45 minutes until fish easily flakes with fork.

Now the cookie recipe I got from another mom whose son has allergies as well. I was so confused as to what to do before I decided to start the elimination diet and she was so sweet to answer a lot of my questions about how she was working through her son's food allergies. She is also blogging about her experience and shares this same recipe here!

Oatmeal Cookies

3 bananas, mashed

1/3 c. applesauce

2 c. rolled oats

1/2 c. raisins (I used dried cranberries)

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 papaya, cut in small chunks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients.

The "batter" is difficult to form into a ball so you can either ball up or spoon out the batter onto a greased baking sheet.
 

Bake for 20 minutes, I smashed my cookies down right when they came out so they looked a little more like oatmeal cookies than oatmeal balls.

Store the leftovers in the refrigerator. I found it was easier to store them with parchment paper between each layer of cookies. Also if you heat them up they are much better as leftovers!

Here's my boys getting ready for bed. It's so sweet watching Daddy put Sawyer to bed, they sing songs and cuddle, it's so precious!
