Cookies...oh I have missed you


So it has been about a year since my eating MAJORLY changed. I went from eating whatever I wanted to having to avoid a variety of foods due to Bella's food allergies (and I am nursing): dairy, soy, nuts, tree nuts, shellfish, eggs, peanuts, corn, and wheat. About a month ago I was able to add corn and wheat back...and let me tell you that first beer was AMAZING! So eating has been a bit easier.

Bella's doctor and dietician wanted us to challenge her dairy/soy allergy to see if she had outgrown it. But, it was a big fail. She barely slept for a week, which meant we barely slept and it was rough. So, that is a no go...


Anyway, one of the things I miss the most (besides pizza at the Cloverleaf or Katie Downs) is cookies. Warm, hot, homemade cookies right out of the oven. Tonight I was determined to find just the perfect vegan cookies recipe and frankly I now I am not sure why I waited so long! It was amazing! Delicious! Unbelievable! These chewy oatmeal raisin cookies made my day! Oh seriously...they made my week! I felt human again being able to eat something I was baking! I spent the holidays baking and not being able to even sample what i was eating!
Tonight I am happy.
