Because obviously what the internet needs at this time of year is another cookie recipe.

Okay, maybe not. But what it does need is a cookie recipe that is quick, easy, requires no butter softening, no chilling, no rolling, and can be made in less than a half hour.

Oh and is also buttery and rich and nutty with that perfect salty/sweet balance going on.

In case you couldn’t tell, THIS IS THAT COOKIE.

Let me tell you what my life looks like after our family’s attempt at the Wilton Gingerbread Manor last night:

there are sprinkles in all the crevices.

there are gingerbread crumbs in all of the other crevices.

there will be thick sugar icing in my hair until eternity.

and there is a roof-less gingerbread house on my table that is (literally) being held together by an icing thread. Like, if I look at it the wrong way it might collapse. And Remy keeps trying to touch it.

Please. Send wine.

Well, I have six night shifts in-between now and Christmas vacation, which is basically akin to TORTURE. My sleep schedule is a total disaster, especially since I’ve had every-other-day days off and so I’ve just been flip flopping from nights to days and basically staying awake for 24 hours at a stretch on nights when I have to work. I’m sure there is a better way to do this, and maybe if I didn’t have a kid I would just flip entirely to nights and stay there for the duration. But instead I’m just an eternal zombie.

And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t relying on excessive cookie consumption to get me through.

(And coffee. So. Much. Coffee.)

This ravioli alla vodka contains an entire cup of vodka and has you cook down the tomatoes in the oven until they have an incredibly rich and concentrated flavor. It is the ultimate in comfort food and perfect at a time when nostalgia is #TrendingInTheKitchen.

Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plan 12.8.18

1 Comment

Saturday again?! I’m all topsy turvy from working nights so I’m not really sure where up is anymore. I had off last night so I slept during the day yesterday and then all night last night. Am I going to regret this during my night shift tonight? Uhhhhhh YEAH. But I’ll get to spend the day with Remy, so clearly having to stay up for 24 hours straight will be worth it.

Ha.

Let’s talk meal planning! This week we’ve got:

  • VEGAN spaghetti squash lasagna bowls
  • jackfruit and pinto bean taquitos
  • weeknight linguine with chickpeas and zucchini
  • VEGAN meatball subs
  • guacamole black bean LOADED sweet potatoes

Happy eating!
