She who has cookie dough is never alone.
There are two explanations for this. One: if you have cookie dough, your friends will all want some too, and thus they will gravitate towards you. And two: even if your friends do not come running (which, by the way, means you have super-odd friends), you’ve still got cookie dough to keep you company!
Above, a delicious batch of Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough Babies.
My friends were all busy yesterday, so I made new friends. Chocolate friends. Healthy and sugar-free cookie dough balls that taste exactly like way better than cookie dough Larabars.
If you have not tried this recipe yet, I highly recommend it!!
I devoured my new friends.
Without remorse.
Yeah, maybe you don’t really wanna be friends with me.
And soon…
The babies need siblings: Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Cookie Dough Balls are exactly what I need this afternoon!
I LOVE ‘Me’ time and make sure to find some each week. I don’t work Mondays which is usually my day alone to get in a tough workout, relax and read, and of course play in the kitchen!
I exercise in the mornings, but I never really thought of it as “me” time. I suppose it is though. For me, my real me time is after work, when I come home and make myself dinner. So I guess during my me time, I tend to cook, read blogs, listen to music, just unwind.
Doesn’t make for a very active social life during the week though. I insist on getting to bed not too long after 9, so when friends propose after-work outings, I tend to pass. I actually get nervous about my run the next day if I don’t get enough sleep!
I think that everyone needs some downtime. We all need a certain amount of time to take care of ourselves and not worry about the demands others place upon us. It’s easier to reconnect with who we are and what we want in life when we have time alone – we can figure out how to achieve the goals we set for ourselves and how to improve our lives.
I enjoy getting the chance to run, write fiction stories, and blog in my downtime.
You’re doing an amazing job with the blog and I really like your new header. It makes me smile getting to see your creativity. I’m sure you’ll be able to do well in life since you have many talents and people adore you ^_^
I’m with Alexandra above, I love your new header, but I also loved the “Healthy tastes naughty”…hahaha…I love it all! Maybe you can combine the two….maybe something like “Healthy desserts taste naughty”….hmmmm….
And I like being alone, too, but more often I like being with others.
Yes, I miss the phrase too! I’m trying to incorporate it back into my “about” page!
I like your new header and i think the explanation fits you perfectly 🙂
These looks so yummy! Maybe I need to make me some new friends this week 😉
As for being alone, I love it. I hang out with my friends on the weekend and i live with my boyfriend, but on my days off during the week I love being alone and just getting things done. Cleaning while listening to my favorite podcasts, shopping for yummy food, going to a class at the gyms, rading a book(or a lot of blogs…) all make me happy 🙂
I’m very much an introvert so I need some alone time every now and then. I like to read magazines or veg out and watch the Food Network:)
When I have alone time, I catch up on all the trashy TV I have recorded that is inappropriate for my 5 year old to watch. LOL.
Loooooooove cookie dough balls. A lot.
I love the header! I have GOT to get working on one of my own…
Haha actually, when I’m alone, I love checking out different food blogs. My friends and family who know that I love food blogging always ask me, “How do you not get bored looking at recipes over and over?”
I guess I never really thought about it that way. Reading my favorite food blogs, and just catching up on the newest concoctions and creations is really enjoyable for a food-obsessed person like me! In fact, I’m rarely bored, and the more recipes the better 🙂
I LOVE those shiny magenta cupcake tin wrappers!!! SO cute! 🙂
Oh and I LOVE my alone time. I love my friends and family but being by yourself is so necessary sometimes!
