Spinach Salad with Baked Goat Cheese/Soft Oatmeal Cookies

So, we're trying to eat more raw food. I'll be making lots of salads I hope. If not for dinner (The dishes I have been making so far in this site are only the ones we eat for dinner, I'm not adding breakfast,or lunch), for lunch. I was at my father-in-law's house today with my husband and Kailua. It is still being painted. We brought home some cooking (mostly baking) utensils. I'm looking forward to use them.

How I made it:
1- Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh spinach, rinsed and dried
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
• 6 ounces goat cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Arrange the spinach on plates.
2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, and add crushed garlic. Cook and stir until slightly golden. Stir in breadcrumbs. Drop the goal cheese slices into the breadcrumbs a few at a time, and turn to coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Place two slices of goat cheese on each serving of spinach, and drizzle the salads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

2- Soft Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 cups quick cooking oats (old fashioned)
  

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
