Emotional Eating

So today/my life has been paused when I watched my alma mater lose to A&M. For the football handicapped, that is the Alabama Crimson Tide I am talking about.

However, we cannot let that manifest. I am in the final stages of editing the video I talked about it. I am new to this. Didn't know how much effort it put into video taping your makeup session (ha!)--lighting and all!

The first thing I turn to is food. Tonight is chocolate covered raisins but it would have been an eggless, light Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough I make religiously if I would have had chocolate chips (it just tastes plain weird without the chocolate chips).  It can also be made gluten free easily!

It is from the Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook. (to die for) I also have made the cookie dough ice pops in the book. That book is perfection. Go buy it! Or google...

Here it goes:

ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar/splenda
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons milk or cream (unsweetened almond milk tastes just as good!)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (almond flour for you GF fans)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

directions:

In a large bowl beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in milk and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt and mix on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.

Dough can be enjoyed immediately or stored, covered or in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I eat this straight from a bowl with a spoon and it is gone within one episode of pretty little liars, maybe two... Shame but you know how life is...you have wins and you have losses.
