These cookies kind of look like dinosaur poo. Ah well.
There are things in this world that will never make sense to me. Like why Facebook is so addicting. It’s the first thing I look at…on my phone…on my computer…on someone else’s computer. It’s just wrong. Especially since I don’t know half the people I’m friends with on Facebook. So I look through the newsfeed of people’s daily lives and get nothing from it. I don’t care if Betty Jo got a new cat. Who the f*ck is Betty Jo?! Maybe I shouldn’t add people I don’t know on Facebook. Nah. That would just be rude. Jk, I denied someone today. Suckaaaaa.
I’m so b*tchy right now.
I also don’t understand why sugar makes me fat. Please don’t leave a link in the comments leading me to why sugar is bad for you. I understand it BUT I don’t understand it. Makes sense, right? Thought so. The thing is, I’m so kind to sugar, buying it often, kissing it, singing to it…and it gives me nothing back. Oh wait, it does give me love handles. Those things are cute, right? Thought so. Back to the point, I don’t understand why sugar doesn’t like my body. Or nuts. So the cookies on here today, I didn’t actually try. My roommate Steph did. So if they suck, blame her.
Anywho, wanna know about my weekend?! Of course you don’t. So I’ll tell you all about it. This is how it started. I went boating and got to hang out with my girlfriend Rhonda. She’s pretty rad. And good looking. Then Laura and I did a rope climb workout with our friend Clark at CrossFit South Denver and spent part of Saturday at the pool. Getting in the pool kinda sucked because of the rope burn I was blessed with from rope climbs. Then we made tostadas. Then we topped them with guac, beef, and lettuce. Then we ate them. Then we ate a balls ton of beet chips with guac. Then we watched ‘This Means War’ and laughed pretty hard. Then we went to bed. Oh, and I made a cooking video this weekend. So exciting. In retrospect, if I knew what that actually meant, all I did was tan this weekend. I have multiple tan lines. I even put on a swimsuit that I bought 2 years ago. Thank gosh it fit. Only 3/4 of my ass was hanging out. Keepin’ it classy. Everyday all day.

WOW, I think I can smell them!!!!
18-23 minutes lol
thank you for appreciating those numbers.
just took them out the oven and they taste great. I did put in coconut flour instead of all the almond flour… as didn’t have any to hand, couldnt be bothered to grind more almonds- that’s all i seem to do lately haha. They seem to look fluffier than your pics, but i guess that is the coconut and not as much maple syrup ( which i substituted for honey.)
I was just going to ask if substituting Coconut Flout would be okay, guess I’ll try it! These cookies look devine. Props to you for giving up sugar, Juli, I don’t think I could ever do it!
I was wondering about coconut flour. How much did you use?
thanks!
My 8 year old says they look like hamburgers! I say they look delicious! Another recipe to try!
Literally crying at the sight of the chocolate chips. 20 days to go!
Day 8 today of 21DSD? Heck yeah! I had to sit by as my husband and some friends devoured a volcano sized pile of sweet potato fries at some diner in Indianapolis. We also went to a meadery! So awesome, but not awesome when you don’t get to taste anything. But honestly, once I’ve gotten past a week, I think it will be smoother sailing. My face looks so much more clear, I do not feel like a total chub-o, and kicking ass in the gym, and feel pretty on top of the world in general. I hope it’s going well for you. I admire you MAKING dessert and not eating it. I seriously have to ban myself from looking at dessertstalker during these kind of things otherwise I think about it way too much.
Def thought these were chocolate chip burgers. Thought you went crazy for a second there…
Those things are full of all things that I love. Want.
Gawwwd. Ever since I saw you’ve been doing the sugar detox, I’ve had my finger on the trigger wanting to do the same. Then these bad boys appear on your blog’s front page.
How have your results been? Would you still recommend it? I feel that maybe I should give it a go once my Enjoy Life chocolate chips are all gone.. which will be in about 2 days.
Hilarious post. Nice work.
