Sweet Soy-vegan blog

i am baking 'the best damned cookies on the planet' because adree is coming over! and because i happened to have maple syrup, a luxury in a bottle that i haven't had for a couple months. i just ate a ton of the dough and now they are in their oven, baking. adree and i are having a photo shoot and then we are going to go run! And eat cookies for dinner and make Jamie Oliver's 'quick tomato sauce' with spaghetti! mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. tomorrow i have the day off, so i am doing a shoot with mandy & kodie! i love having all these photo shoots booked! i need new customers as well! anyways...here's the recipe for the best damned cookies (aka maureen's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from the garden of vegan)
3/4 c flour, 2 c oats, 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Mix dry...then in a blender, blend....
1/2 a very ripe banana, 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract, 1/3 c oil, 1/2 c pure maple syrup
Pour blended mixture into flour mixture along with 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips (i use ghiradelli semisweet chips) and mix them up.
Bake at 350F for 12-15 mins, or until edges are browned.


After the photo shoot we took Noodles for a walk down the road. (avoiding the strange man that was at the house talking to dad.) Then we went inside and made Jamie's tomato sauce and paired it with Barilla spaghetti. We tossed it together in my huge flower mixing bowl and we ventured outside with a lantern and sat at the top of the hill with a blanket and ate our spaghetti from the huge bowl. we had a night picnic with spaghetti! it was so much fun. the spaghetti was so flavorful and yummy tomatoey.
Today I have the day off, and Mandy has a half day. I think I am going over there to take some pictures later on. For now, it is cold and my tummy feels unwell from too many cookies before bedtime.
