I've been taking some time this summer to focus on self-care.

We're in flu season hell! In fact, according to, uh, science, it’s one of the worst seasons we’ve seen in the last 10 years.

I made you these cookies. They are special cookies that are made from pulverized cookies that became butter that then became cookies again.

I do this thing that I'm really proud of:

The country is kind of obsessed with KonMari. I get it. Truly, I do.

The great thing is you can use basically any regular substitutions and this will still taste amazing. I literally eat this with a spoon, and because it’s egg-free, I feel no shame. Okay, I don’t feel any shame when I bust into a tub of regular cookie dough, either. I’m just trying to do my fair share to keep you from getting salmonella.
