Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

I have decided to start baking healthier. From time to time I have even considered becoming vegan if it wasn't for the simple fact I love cheese. Anyways, I have come across a delicious vegan peanut butter cookie recipe in which I thought I should share. Enjoy!


Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

2 cups whole wheat flour (or spelt)
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup natural peanut butter
3/4 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cups of honey (or maple syrup)
1.5 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup almond milk (or coconut milk)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 350'. Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Mix wet ingredients in seperate bowl. Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients. Bake for 11 minutes.

Yields 26 cookies

2nd Trimester

Well in about 4 days I will officially be in my 2nd trimester. This pregnancy has been a breeze compared to Sophie which really makes me ponder if it is a boy? I had a good couple of weeks of extreme nausea and maybe I throwed up twice, but then out of the blue it all went away. :) No more nausea, no throwing up. One downfall is that we are waiting for our master bathroom to be built this summer so in the mean time (at 3 am) I have to walk my happy butt all the way downstairs to pee. :( I really would be happy with either gender as I (obviously) love little girls, and I don't have a boy yet so that would be fun, but Im really thinking this is a boy. Sadly, I have to wait until the beginning of September, maybe end of August to find out what little dot is. In the mean time, here is my belly at almost 13 weeks. Enjoy!

July July

Today started out a bit scary. I didn't feel right and borrowed my mothers glucometer and found my blood sugar was 39. I have always been a bit hypoglycemic but apparently this pregnancy makes it worse.
Other than that I had a great doctors visit today and feel better.

Sophie is officially two...and it makes me sad but happy. She is finally becoming a big girl now and we get to watch her grow.
