Recipe: Flourless chocolate chip cookies

I found this recipe on Pinterest when I first started pinning and it didn’t take long for me to make them.  The original recipe is from Recipe Girl and I edited a bit for our smaller household.

 Easy enough and the ingredients were already in the house!  Double score.

Ingredients:

Note – I like to go [...]

St. Patty’s and Doggy Diplomas!

Slainte!!  I love St. Patty’s Day!  We have an Irish family, and I have that wonderful pasty, freckled skin

It’s lifting day, and I needed to work off the nice dark chocolate binge I had last night.  It’s not the chocolate stash of mine, but the stupid dark chocolate chips that John snacks [...]

The solstice, nutmeg logs, and hot 100 update!

Happy Winter solstice everyone!  Today is the first official day of winter and the shortest day of the year.  From now on, days get longer, although colder (well, it already has been pretty cold).    The busy week wraps up with Christmas on Friday and then I will take some time for reflection on how I [...]

Low-fat Gingerbread cookies

These are so chewy and really spicy! You can cut back on the ginger if you want, but it really gives these cookies a punch.  Thanks to John for tweaking this recipe to up the protein and lower the fat!

So good and really good race fuel.  With cafe [...]

Cookies

Here is a picture of just some of the cookies. I should have plated up some to make them look pretty. This isn’t even all of them, there are 2 other containers! My mistake was in thinking I would get less cookies back for the exchange….. duh. Yes – I divided what I made into [...]

Cookie dough, how I love thee.

We got back from all our trips except the smokehouse. Too snowy, and it is too out of the way to want to try the roads. We probably already have another 5-6 inches on top of the foot from yesterday. The ham will just have to wait until tomorrow.

So, library, bagel and grocery shopping [...]

ice and cookies

Here is a picture of my butterfly bush, which is surprisingly green for December.This is from the snow and ice storm last week.

Pretty, though – isn’t it? Supposed to get 2-4 inches tonight. More shoveling tomorrow!!

After my talk yesterday about how I eat, all I can think about right now is Christmas [...]

Step away from the cookies!

Ugh. Cookies entered the house. My parents brought cookies with them that were given to them. Home made cookies. I managed to eat 3 of them today. They were good, but not really want I wanted to be eating. Having company can really mess things up, you know?They are gone now, thank goodness.
