Been Busy Busy

My weekend was full full. But full of fun.

I made those cookies I was talking about. Remember?

When cookie dough looks like this, you know the cookies will be super delicious.

 And they were oh so good. I swoon over them.

 The most chocolate goodness I've ever created. So very tasty. Extra chocolaty and just sweet enough. Make them. They are super easy to make. And well worth the effort.

In other news, I've been on a big egg kick lately.

I've been loving egg sandwiches. And it's weird because I'm usually not a big fan of eggs. I guess my body's been craving the protein. But I've also been craving little baby oranges, also known as cuties, with all my breakfast picks.

It's the best way to get some Vitamin C.

I ran 5.5 miles Sunday evening with the roommate. First time we've ran together in months. And we both had a pretty good run, considering the distance.

Here are my stats:
Distance: 5.5 miles
Time: 1 hour 7 minutes
Best Pace: 10:43
Average Pace: 12:12
Calories: 625

Running 5.5 miles makes me walk around like a 90-year-old lady and as hungry as a ravenous wolf. Not. Even. Kidding.

Even though my body hates me when I run longer distances, it still feels really good to have finished it. Every time is like a huge accomplishment. And I love it.

Before the roommate and I went for a little jog, we rode around in our friend Zach's new Jeep. His dog Luna loves the new Jeep, but hates the wind.

And it was a beautiful day to be out and about in a Jeep.

So how was your weekend?

Holy Cookies

I'd love to tell you this post had something to do with something other than the cookie you see above...But that would be a lie.

My sole purpose of choosing my lunch spot today was because of the cookie. Sole purpose. As in, cookies dictate where I go. It's true, and I'm not ashamed. Not even a little bit.

Boulevard Bread Company makes the best vegan double chocolate chunk cookies in the entire world. THE BEST. And did I mention they are vegan...an added bonus.

Apparently, they put espresso in these beauties. And I pick up the faintest hint of cinnamon, which I love. They are oh so chocolatey. And soft. And delicious. And almost as big a plate. I swoon.

While I went to Boulevard Bread in hopes of getting the cookie, I also grabbed a pretty healthy lunch. The homemade soup of the day was a white bean soup with crusty bread and homemade pesto, and I got the hummus sandwich, which is also vegan.

When I paid for my goods, the girl behind the counter asked if I was vegan. And I said no. I didn't tell her that I chose to come there for the cookie AFTER I talked myself out of a big ole cheeseburger from Arkansas Burger Company.

I thought Arkansas Burger Company would be a bad choice since I'm running this afternoon and eating Italian for dinner with my mom. No need to further clog the arteries.

So cookies win. And I'm totally ok with it. And I say this while I'm feeling miserable at my desk after stuffing my face too full of ridiculously delicious food.

What food places do you go to have just that one special item?

What is your favorite cookie?
