Olive and red

Ready. Set. Go.... Those are pretty much my first thoughts once I hear my singing alarm go off before the sun rises. My once empty calender has been miraculously filled weeks in advanced. And although I might sound like I'm complaining...I could not be anymore content. But yesterday between shuffling papers I had a break to get back to one of my favorite past times. I never understand how I can go so long without baking..its such an relaxing art...







Seen here is two delicious vegan chocochip cookies, that I adapted my own recipe after Sweet Beet's, and a glorious green beauty smoothie just before being devoured. The cookies were rich and decedent enough that I had to make another batch...package in little blue Chinese take out boxes and I send my friends off with a few. They said they were fantastic, so I thought maybe you will like them too!

Simple. Delicious. Addicting. My take on the perfect vegan chocochip cookie:

1 cups earth balance evoo butter
1 cups organic cane sugar
1/2 cups organic brown sugar

Cream the room temperature butter with the sugars.

2 small mashed ripe bananas
1 splash of vanilla extract

Mix with the sugar/butter and set aside.

2.5 cups whole wheat flour
2.5 cups oats (blended to flour texture)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 dark chocolate bar, chopped and blended until powder

Mix with wet ingredients then add chocolate powder. Put on foil covered cookie sheet with nonstick spray and play with various shapes. Bake at 375F for 6-8 minutes. Allow to cool for a minute before enjoying!

If your making them be sure to tell me how they were please! After such a relaxing morning eating in the cool moist fog I was off to the rest of an busy exciting day...

My summer plan - This weekend I saw the beauty in my friends. They embody the meaning of glowing inside and out. Seeing their true happiness reminded me of how much beauty I want to absorb as well. I mean who wouldn't want to? Something I found out about myself is that my smile is like a necklace of pearls. When I see someone light up when I smile at them it makes me realize how much one jester of kindness can mean to the people around you. Maybe your having a bad day or your feeling iffy about how your hair looks but if you just smile through it you might make someone feel like everything will be alright in their life as well. Tell me your thoughts on a kind jester- smile or wave. xoxo
