Yesterday and today i have experienced wonderful baking moments. Yesterday I wanted to bake cookies for my friend and decided to try yogurt cookies, because I have been seeing recipes flying around the Internet for awhile. They turned out AMAZING! The best cookies I think I have ever made. Nice crisp on the outside, sweet flavor, and a wonderful melt in your mouth center. Today I decided to make a no sugar healthy fudge.I had a lot of skepticism on this one because the only ingredients are nuts, dates, cocoa powder, bananas, and honey. But WOW, yet again I am blown away by the flavor! Here are the links to the recipes I tried out, if you get the time I recommend giving them a shot.

Procrastination.
It finals week which means finding things to do other then bury my head in notes and books. So far I have bought juggling balls, therefore I have been practicing my juggling. I have touched up my résumé in hopes of getting a second job for spring quarter. I have blogged. And I have made food. I haven't shared my food adventures in awhile so ill pass on this delicious salad I made for the week.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup quinoa, cooled
1 can garbonzo beans (I baked mine for 15 min with a little parm and garlic for extra flavor)
3/4 can corn
3/4 cup chopped bell peppers
3 green onions
7 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Basil for garnish
Lemon Basil Dressing (I eyeballed everything so this is my interpretation of how much you should use)
3 tbsp chopped basil--I use a lot because it is so tasty
Juice of one lemon
Tsp honey
1-2 tbsp basaltic vinegar
3-5 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
It is a simple as chop, mix, stir, assemble, cool, and serve!

Throwback
The past couple weeks have been very hectic for me. I have always heard that when life isn't going the way you expect, look towards the future to all the wonderful possibilities that are ahead of you. Sometimes that doesn't work though, and through this weird time in my life I found that reminiscing to my younger years was more therapeutic for me. I stumbled across some old pictures of me and I can't help but smile when I look through them.
