22 Cookie Challenge and Bitchen Salads

In prep for a bigger cause I am in need of local guinie pigs.  If you are a cookie lover I need you for taste testing.  Yes. This does include consuming cookies.

I have a particular set of chocolate cookies that I make that make people feel happy.  Nothing in them but love and baking ingredients :)  With that being said I am going to do a little.. well a lot.. of experimenting.  I will be testing 22 new flavors with a surprise add-ins (chocolate chips, fruit, nuts).  As part of my exploration of food this is my next mission. 

Mission:  Make 22 different cookies with different, that make sense, add-ins and or icing/topping. 

This is where you come in.  I will make cookies at least once every week/week and a half.  I will need to hand them out to you guinie pigs and request your feedback and suggestions :) 

With that being said LET ME KNOW! you know how to get a hold.

The second part to this is for every new kind of cookie combo I make I will make a salad to um, er.. counter all that amazing cookieness.  I of course will be taste testing the cookies.. AND salads of course :)

So here's to divine cookie soul searching and rolling bowls of lettuce with in season veggies and smart dressings :)

Eating Check up: Eating like shit lately.
Fix: I am dedicating myself to learning the Asanas of Ashtanga Yoga through traditional Vinyasa Count.  I feel very driven to this.  My yoga experience has pandered across the years.. college was a concentration on the asanas (poses).  No flow.  Home practice was always asanas slow paced.  Then I went to Sumit's Yoga, Vinyasa Power Flow, and had my ass handed to me.  I left that class soaking wet, bendy, tiered, but felt like I could move a friggin building.  After that I was pretty much hooked on the flow.  Sumit's is very fast paced.  If I had know the asanas I would have probably dug the fuck out of it.  SO thats what brings me to this.  My current pactice is home based.  I usually do a flow with asanas at my pace.  I try to hold each asana for 5 breaths.  I like the way my heart races when the flow is added in after each asana is added.  My friend Kim is putting a sequence together for me too and I can't wait!  Second part of the fix is transitioning back to eating better. Sounds stupid with the cookies right? Not if I am giving majority of them away for taste testing?  Finally finding a facet again :)
