Multi-grain Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies were so good! And I felt good about my family eating them. Somehow a multi-grain oatmeal chocolate chip cookie didn't sound so bad. I am in the process of transitioning me and my family to REAL food. This counts...doesn't it? No more junk, fast food, processed, soda...etc. It's been easier than I thought. I've become convicted about what we put in our bodies...hence the reason for me giving up caffeine. I really have been less foggy and it's been easier to wake up in the mornings. There can't be that much caffeine in chocolate chips...right? We definitely need a de-tox after being on vacation!
