1. Being gluten-free takes a lot of processed foods,(and especially sweets), out of the game. 
2. I found a recipe for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free banana chocolate chip cookies that have 4 ingredients.  
3. They satisfy my rampant sweet tooth and A liked them too.
4. The texture might throw you at first, but the flavor is really good.
5. Here you go: Take 3 ripe bananas, mash em' really well in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips, 1c. oatmeal, (I used GF instant oatmeal with raisins), and a big tablespoon of peanut butter. Or almond butter, or any nut butter that you have on hand.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 min. I baked mine longer because I wanted crispy edges, but I'm thinking that might be the reason the texture was slightly rubbery.
7. My lunch obsession this week: sliced cucumbers on top of hummus,(or baba), with mint, a slight drizzle of olive oil, and S+P on GF bread.
8. Lunch update: While the recipe calls for humus, in the past I've always used babaganoush and now I know why. 
9. Humus, fresh and home-made or packaged, no matter how organic or farmers market fresh I have found it, is dead to me and is now added to the list of foods that I ate so many times in my life I now cannot take another bite of you.
10. I've been having a thing with  this salt for awhile now. 
11. I've completed my first week of my photoshop course and thankfully, I like the teacher much more than my first impression. 
12. The first class was rough and the second one was fun and I'm looking forward to the remaining 8 classes. Finally I will be able to cross no. 60 off my list!
13. I can't wait to show you the beautiful gift the mister gave me this year for Mother's Day. 
14. Yes, I helped in that decision. 
15. I've been catching up on movies that I missed last year. I really enjoyed this one, probably because of him. 
16. Also, when I'm watching movies on cable television my standards are lower but the truth is, I'm not the best judge of a movie, I pretty much watch anything. 

And that my friends, is all I've got. Hope you have a good week!
