Posted Friday, January 6, 2012 at 8:23 AM Heading up North today for a weekend of skiing with Husband, Brother/Sister In Law, and their 3 kids - all meat eating, cookie loving, chocolate addicted, and potato crunching lovely people.... My first REAL test. Maybe my second.... last night made Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies for them (with Butter, and Choco Chips...). Did NOT even lick my fingers! Thank goodness for Laurie's Wholesome Junk Food - Chocolate Fudge Bite-lettes -- 100% Vegan, made with oats and dates! B - oatmeal L - salad with hummus D - bringing lentil soup (on stove now) and whole wheat pasta with a tomato portabella pasta sauce - one for tonight, one for tomorrow - both with salad S - have tons of fruits and veggies... Wish me luck! If I can handle this weekend with the kids, next week, in Vegas, with some of my favorite, or rather past favorite restaurants within reach should be a breeze!!!

Posted Friday, January 6, 2012 at 8:30 AM Next time you have to take cookies somewhere.. you might want to try a recipe like this...I bet everyone would eat them.. including you..that is unless you are trying to eliminate junk food..vegan included. So i wish you luck! it sounds like you are prepared and have some yummy food. If it turns out you have to go out..think chinese and steamed veggies. I just wish the places around here had brown rice. Chocolate Fudgy Oatmeal Cookies 2 cups Quick-Cooking Oats 1 2/3 cups Flour         2/3 cup Cocoa Powder ½ tsp Baking Soda         ½ tsp Baking Powder ¾ tsp Salt 1 ½ cups Sugar      2 TBs Ground Flax Seeds 2/3 cup Nondairy Milk 2/3 cup Canola Oil 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract      ¼ tsp Almond Extract ¾ cup Chocolate Chips 1 cup Dried Cherries, chopped (optional) Preheat oven to 375° F. Line 2 baking sheets w/parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl beat together sugar, flax seeds, and nondairy milk until smooth. Add the oil, vanilla, and almond; beat until well mixed. Fold in ½ of the flour mixture to moisten, and then fold in the remaining half. Just before the mixture is completely combined, fold in chocolate chips and cherries if desired. Each cookie is 2 TBs of dough onto the sheet. Leave 2” of space b/t each cookie. If desired flatten slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes until cookies are firm and risen. Let cookies rest on baking sheet 5 min then transfer to wire racks to complete cooling. Makes 2 ½ doz.

Posted Friday, January 6, 2012 at 8:44 AM ..that is unless you are trying to eliminate junk food..vegan included. those sound really really yummy!and I will definitely keep recipe on file. For now though, trying to eliminate the junk food, at least for the first 6 weeks. I figured if I can beat my own temptations, there is nothing anyone else can try and do to undermine

Posted Friday, January 6, 2012 at 9:52 AM B: usual - cereal, plant milk, vegan dark chocolate chips L: chili leftover from last night (yum!) D: root veg hash (we've got taters, sweet potato, beets, turnips, parsnips, onions, carrots and a bit of butternut squash as well, plus we toss in some cooked black beans for contrasting color, texture and some protein - basically just cube it all up and put it in a big skillet with a bit of water and/or veggie stock, pop on the lid, and let it steam/saute, stirring once or twice, until veggies are tender and yummy) S: clementine, apple
