Yummy chocolate chip cookies

This is the recipe Alex used to make his yummy cookies. One note, to make them truly vegan, you need to read the label on the chocolate chips. We used fair trade chocolate chips which were a little expensive at $5.99 from Shaws, but they were the only vegan ones they had. I would follow the recipe exactly because the second time we made them we used regular sugar and they weren't as good. The dough should have a thickish consistency. Enjoy!

Level 5 status...

We've been talking about having a blog for awhile now and are finally getting around to it. Since around February, Alex and I have been full-time vegans. We really committed fully to the diet after the cheese massacre that was our Disney vacation; we both felt like crap after that trip. I have to say, I've never felt better! I managed to become vegan during pregnancy which meant no ice cream (which I ate daily when pregnant with Zoe.) I had no complications during the pregnancy and have already lost all the weight I gained not even two weeks after having Lea. I'm looking forward to seeing my continued weight loss since I never lost all the weight I gained with Zoe. I never thought I could be vegan since cheese and dairy were my comfort foods, but I managed, and so can you. We hope to use this blog to share recipes and information with our friends. Here's hoping to convert the world to level 5 status:)
