Oatmeal Walnut Cookies
"This varies from the traditional oatmeal cookie as it does not have the sweet bite of raisins or chocolate. The nuts have a distinct mellow flavor and combine beautifully with the oats. Pecans could be substituted for the walnuts, if desired."

I am now semi-retired and an Empty Nester. I try to focus on lighter dishes for day to day menus. I still like to explore new food ideas. I look for smaller quantity dishes now. I am not vegetarian but I cook with more vegetables than meat now. I enjoy sharing desserts with family and my co-workers.
