Vegan Cookies & A New Apartment

I have mostly settled in to the new apartment. It's not as nice as the old place, but at the same time it is a million times better. It's smaller so it feels a lot more like a home and my roommate is great so far. It's kind of nice coming home and having someone to hang out with.

I've also discovered that we are only about 3 blocks from Sahara Mart which is a locally owned ethnic food store (really more of a health food store so it has everything I could ever want/need), which is amazing. And the walk to work is no longer than the one I had before. I think I'm going to like it here despite not having a front porch.

My first baking in the new apartment was a complete success. I made lovely chocolate chocolate chip cookies from this recipe and yummy oatmeal raisin cookies from this recipe.

Here is a photo of the chocolate chocolate chip cookies per the request of Monica:

There is no picture of the oatmeal raisin ones because they were kind of a mess. I was in too much of a hurry when I was making them but they taste delicious and actually held up really nicely once they cooled.

peace & love, girlies.
