Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
"Great - nay - better made vegan. I usually only cook 10 or so of these and freeze the rest to cook later... or, more likely, eat in cookie dough form. I roll the rest into logs and freeze them in plastic wrap. It never lasts long."

These are quite delicious. -
OMG, these were fantastic. I just loved them. Thankfully they lasted two days, so I had plenty of time to enjoy them. I will so make them again.

Hmmmm...
I suppose that I have a small obsession with cooking and specifically cooking with Mexican and Tex-Mex ingredients. Living in New Zealand means I have a really hard time getting my hands on these ingredients and so I have started my own recipie zaar page in order to keep the dream alive. A few things about me:
1)I mostly cook Vegetarian and love finding/creating vegetarian/vegan versions of meaty things. I believe in moderation - especially with animal products.
2)I like things that are good for me but I don't like to feel like I'm sacrificing too much. I'm much more concerned with what I'm getting (like vitamins/minerals) than what I'm tring to omit (like calories, fat). I need my food to both taste and feel good.
3) Homegrown vegetables are my idea of the perfect gift.
4)I like things spicy.
I guess in the end I just hope to share some good stuff and learn some new things.
