Blog B*tch Blog!

Yup, here I am...blogging along! I'm proud of this solid effort I have put forth thus far. I hope it keeps! So long as I have a foodie penpal to talk about, I will! :)


Not a very long work week, and I have no complaints about it!! I took 5 days off and probably could have had another 5 days and felt quite ok about it! 


I made these cookies last week. One cookie actually = 2 cookies. My friend, Erin is a Brownie leader. When we met for brunch she was selling their classic cookies and I wondered how I might make them more "good" for you. I was inspired by the numerous Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies I had seen on various sites and probably on Pintrest.


I made these last weekend and took them to the family farm. They were gone in a day. Here goes!


Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies
I cup margarine or butter, room temperature
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup chocolate chips
vanilla girl guide cookies are best


Cream together your butter, sugars and eggs. Add the vanilla. In a seperate bowl, mix your flour, cocoa, baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugars. Stir in the chocolate chips.


Now, the tricky part. Roll a ball of cookie dough. Place a girl guide cookie on top of it and flatten it. Roll another ball of cookie dough and put it on the top of the girl guide cookie. Then make the double chocolate dough connect so you can't see the girl guide cookie anymore. Try not to use too much dough. Less the better, but it takes a few times. Bake them for 9 - 13 minutes at 350F. 


When they are done, put your eating pants on (aka spandex/stretch pants) and enjoy one or a couple! Then smile and wipe the crumbs off your shirt.

Happy Friday people! You know what that means to me!? I've had the day off. Yes, Fridays off! Sometimes, I have it so good - ok wait, I have it good a lot. I really do. So, I'm feeling pretty joyful today. I know you're wondering why, so I'll tell you: 1) The first person I saw today was my hot chiropractor. Yeah, he's hot. And nice. And smart. And hot. As I once told my friend, "You'd get injured just to be able to see him." He made my hips feel a little better. Yay. 2) I drank another one of those smoothies that I can't get over. I added some spinach for good measure. 3) I visited my friend Rebekah for a massage. That b*tch put me in all sorts of pain but lubricated me in oil and we laughed, so it was good. I'm sure I'll feel a lot better tomorrow! It was VERY needed. 4) It's sunny out! LOVE sun. 5) Jana and I booked a trip to Vegas and going to the Passport Office made me 10X more excited for it. 6) I'm meeting my wo...

Chocolate covered dried banana - Also eaten as soon as I opened the package Sea Salt Fusion Veggie Garnish Vancouver's Hottest Salt and a tiny cute spoon to go with it Hemp Hearts Espresso Bean Chocolate Bar This was great! Thank you so, so much Ceecee! I'm on Day #5 of the Whole30 (which I'll update on later) so I'll have to wait until after to enjoy the chocolate bar and the other half bag of granola! It'll be such a treat after. I was paired up with Theresa in Delta, BC. I made the package a spicy theme - Black Bean Chips, Spicy Jalapeno Salsa and Ch...
