Hey yall~ I just got back from dinner with the parents and now we are fixing to watch No Reservations (surprise, surprise…one of my favorites!) but before we sat down for the movie I wanted to blog! 🙂
Today for a snack I wasn’t that hungry because of a super lunch…I snacked on an orange though driving home and once I got home and unpacked those cookies….you know I just had to have one! They are SO good! Even my dad said (who is a total omnivore) “wow did you make those cookies at school? They are the best cookies I’ve ever had!” I took that as a thumbs up sign for vegan chocolate peanut butter!!
We went out to dinner at the wine bar/bistro I was talking about and I still wasn’t that hungry (lunch + cookie really filled me up!) so I just ordered some black bean hummus and pita breads (I probably ate about four of those pita wedges and most of the hummus!) and a large spinach salad with walnuts, roasted eggplant and roasted portobella mushrooms with a side of red rice. I also had two glasses of the most fab. petit syrah. Don’t you just love family outings?! When I got home (about 10 minutes ago) I dug into the cookies again and had two. I hope there are some left for Ryan when he gets back in town tomorrow! I think he would cry if I ate all the chocolate peanut butter cookies because that’s his favorite combo ever!
Okay—off to snuggle up in my pjs and watch a movie with the parents!

March 16, 2008 at 8:34 amUmm… Peanut butter chocolate is THE most amazing combination ever!!! Better than…. bread and butter even!! better than… oats and banana (gasp!)… better than… a good steak a savvy cab (gasp! for all the vegans ; ) ) but yeah. I am not vegan but I have not seen a better looking cookie!!! I am “around the world” when it comes to protein sources. I’ll do mostly chicken, a little beef, and will do beans and dabble in black bean burgers and the like. I love it all pretty much!!!
I think I might just have to buy Eat Drink and Be Vegan if that’s where the latest baking spectacle came from though!!!!
True, I never thought I would post at 4:30 am but we all have those nights every now and then. Fortunately, I already had planned ahead, and my friends bought “munchies” and I advised them to buy things I HATE!! So now, oversnacking here!!! I will thoroughly enjoy my brunch tomorrow!!!
And thanks again for the cookbook recommendations!!
