Banana cookies with oatmeal.

Have you ever bought bananas that were not eaten in time and they are overripe, very flavorful, but not very tasty to eat just like that. I always make banana muffins and the whole family enjoys them.

But recently I wanted something new, and I came across a recipe for banana cookies on an Australian cooking website. I used this recipe as a base but increased the amount of rolled oats and added walnuts (you can add raisins, apricots, etc). The portion yielded two trays of delicious and flavorful cookies. And don't look at its slightly «chunky» appearance, it still turns out great!

By the way, the cookies are completely egg-free, so they're great for kids who can't have eggs for some reason.

Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

Cinnamon braid

The dough is very quick to prepare, the only skill required is to roll the roll into a braid and a ring. But even that is harder to describe than to do. The dough is moderately sweet and moderately fluffy, but flavorful and tender. In general, for a family tea party – very worthy company.
