Awwwwww!

So glad to see the weekend finally arrive. It's been a LONG week! So, what's for dinner tonight? I'm thinking good ole' fashion country cookin'!

Mashed Potatoes w/ veggie gravy (tastes like turkey)
Green Beans
Corn on the Cob
Biscuits

Sounds about right. Too bad my oldest kiddos are at a sleepover or we might have some homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Here's the recipe we use:

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (adapted from Chocolate Chunk Cookies from The Engine 2 Diet)

¾ cup and 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with ¼ cup water
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with ¼ cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cups whole wheat flour 
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
1 package vegan chocolate chips


1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. Mix the applesauce, flaxseed, and sugar together using an electric or hand mixer.
3. Beat in the Ener-G and vanilla.
4. Mix the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate chips) in a separate bowl.
5. Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Place rounded, heaping tablespoons of dough onto a sprayed or parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes.
7. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack

These cookies are FANTABULOUS!!!!!
