Outstanding Oatmeal Cookie (The Olympic Cookie)
"This was published in a magazine in the early 1980's. It was a popular dessert on the menu at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. It's a good source of fiber and a great source of quick energy. It does pack some calories (97 per cookie), so be on guard."

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.
