Cookies! They are staple during the holidays. Growing up, my mother always made the best Christmas cookies...all different kinds...and everyone always wanted to take them home. Her cream waifers...to die for. Well, I may be my mother's daughter but I do not possess one ounce of her baking skill. When I need something baked, I send her the recipe and hope to pick it up the next day. Well with this being my first Christmas with Nugget, I wanted to bake. So what does any self-respecting new mom do? Well, I went grocery shopping in baker's paradise which is my mom's house. I got all the staples that we do not keep stocked in my home. In addition to the staples, I decided I was going to make cookies with a twist and add Pacific Foods Cranberry Sauce to my recipe.

 Pacific Food packs their ingredients in Tetra Pak cartons. These cartons are made with 70% less paper and use 1/3 of the packaging compared to cans. They are easy to store and will keep all of your ingredients organized. The packaging process allows for the ingredients to stay fresh without any additional preservatives. The cartons are also re-closable so you can use whatever you need and store the rest for later. Along with all these benefits of choosing a carton over traditional packaging, Tetra Paks are 100% recyclable.

So back to cooking? Today we are going to make a cranberry bars with a twist to help out the breastfeeding mothers. Here is your list of ingredients:

  • 1 and ½ cups of oats
  • ½ cup of flour 
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter 
  • 1 carton of Pacific Foods Cranberry Sauce
  • 1 tbs Brewers Yeast
  • 1 tbs Flax Seed Meal

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine together oats, flour, sugar, brewer’s yeast and flax seed meal. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Take half of mixture and distribute among a muffin tin. Plop a spoon full of Pacific Foods Cranberry Sauce on each. Top off with the remainder of the crumbly mixture. Bake for 45 minutes.

This super simple recipe gives you a healthy, lactation friendly snack.  The recipe works fine without the brewer's yeast and Flax Seed Meal as well. I encourage you to be carton smart and substitute out traditional packaging with recyclable cartons.
