Muffins says: Eat Me! I used to love baking cookies - and one of my favorite cookies to make was Monster Cookies ... but if you make the original recipe it's loaded with sugar - which is part of the reason why they tasted so dang good.

Blend ...

And now that it's summer vacation - we set a time up for our girls to play together. I noticed a lot of buddha's in the house. I asked if she practiced Buddhism. She said no - I practice Hinduism. Oh. Tell me about that. So she told me a little bit. She said we eat vegetarian once a week. I think she's not too into it because she loves fish and shrimp and stuff like that. But she gave me a bunch of vegetarian Indian products to try because I told her I was vegetarian - but Latter-day Saint. I'm really excited to try some of the stuff she gave me.
