Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

[gallery ids="4355,4356,4357"]



 

I love chocolate chip cookies.  Actually I like most cookies.  You might say cookies are my weakness!  I mean dessert weakness.  This dip reminds me of a chocolate chip cookie .  Best of all you, you don't have to bake cookies to get the deliciousness.  :)

Now the question is, what should I dip into this yumminess!  I've been dipping chocolate cat cookies from Trader Joe's.  Tomorrow I'm going to try dipping my sliced apples in the dip.  That sounds absolutely divine.

Side note:  Have you ever had someone obsessed with your food choices.  I eat in my classroom and have a limited time to eat.  Today I was running late getting to eat because I had to print some papers and then talk to two other teachers.  I was finishing my lunch when my four students came in for social studies.  They were intrigued with what I was eating.  They would have  been shocked to find out what was in the dip.  (My students have seen my lunches many times.  Fortunately most of the time it's something fairly healthy.  This way I can be a good role model for them.  One is concerned that I don't eat a lot of meat.  I eat meat but it depends on my mood whether I eat a lot meat or not.)

Obsession

I have an obsession with granola.  I love trying new flavors.  We were at Whole Foods yesterday and I was checking out the granola's there.  The Imaginative One had to tell me to step away from the granola area because I didn't need to buy too many of them.  I just love eating them with either plain yogurt or almond coconut milk for breakfast or with my lunch

Here's my newest find:



 

It's delicious@

I never thought I could make pancakes without any flour. Today I did just that. :).

Yesterday I got myself a big blender instead of the individual blender. I took a banana, some almond butter, and egg whites and whipped them together.

Hubby walked in and toasted what he thought was a drink in the blender. He didn't realize it was my "batter" for my pancakes. Lol!
