Skinformation: Rose Petals

Scientific Name: Rosa centifolia

Family Name: Rosaceae, rose

Origin: Italy

Rose flowers are used in body care for their antiseptic, aromatic, astringent, cell regenerating and rejuvenating, demulcent, hydrating and vulnerary properties. Rose is recommended for: dry-dehydrated, delicate-sensitive, normal-combination, tired-mature-wrinkled, and traumatized skin. It is particularly effective in treating eczema, broken capillaries and wrinkles. Rose is beloved for its beautiful scent, and is currently used as an ingredient in dry and mature skin products such as facial steams, cleansers, lotions, toners, moisturizers and bath herbs. Rosewater has long been used as a toner and moisturizer by beauties to soothe sore complexions. Diluted, it can be applied to cotton balls and placed on closed eyes to reduce puffiness. It also makes a lovely mouthwash. For dry hair, roses are included in shampoos, conditioners and hair rinses. The rose is a symbol of balance, love and bliss and is an ancient symbol of love and beauty. Roses have the highest vibratory frequency of any plant and provide great wound-healing properties both emotional and physical. Placing 2 roses on your bedside table is said to assist you in your dream state.

The Perfect Spicy Sweet and Spicy Dessert - Apple Oatmeal Cookies topped with Jalapeño Fig Jam (Vegan & Gluten Free)

I don't really have a sweet tooth.  If anything, I have a salt tooth.  I was hosting a Pangea Happy Hour & the theme was a Cookie Exchange, so I was excited to bake some cookies.  I wanted something healthy, since I AM a doctor and wanted to have some healthy options for guests.  I had just bought a bunch of apples, so I figured I'd make some Apple Oatmeal Cookies.  That sounded kind of boring though, so I looked in the fridge to see what else I could come up with.  Of course, I had some jalapeños in there.  If anyone knows me, they know I have had a love affair with all things spicy since the beginning of time and you will always find something spicy in my fridge!  A meal wasn't perfect without a hint of spiciness.  I also had some fresh organic figs in there, so I decided to combine the two to make a  Fig Jalapeño Jam.  Voilà! I had a new creation! I'd make Apple Oatmeal Cookies topped with Jalapeño Fig Jam!  I decided to share this recipe with you all & hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Please leave me some feedback and link back to this post.  ¡Buen provecho! First, I made the cookies using the following recipe. Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 cup Earth Balance Natural shortening 3/4 cup organic raw cane sugar 2 eggs worth of egg substitute 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats 1 cup diced organic apple without peel 1 cup chopped walnuts 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Fold in the walnuts, oats and apples. Drop dough by spoonfuls about 2 inches onto ungreased cookie sheets. 3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Let cool on wire racks. Makes 3 dozen cookies

Once both the cookies and jam are done, let each cool for at least 1 hour, then scoop about 1/2 teaspoon of jam onto each cookie!  Enjoy!
