I'm Back

It is so strange to back on college grounds. I guess you could say that I felt I was done with school.... again. Once again though, my feelings were wrong and I was forced to drive for 4.5 hours to Abbotsford, BC. Don't get me wrong, I love college and all my friends here, but it was so nice to have a break and not have homework!

So, I guess I will start with money. I still owe money for my schooling, which is so completely stressful for me. I hate being in debt, and honestly, I don't know where all that money will come from. I am working a lot more hours in the cafeteria, which is a little frustrating as I have classes and all! I have to admit though, I did ask for the hours. I guess  I can't complain then, right? Now, as soon as I update my blog I have to go and write a thank you letter to everyone that has given me money. I guess I can't complain, but sometimes it is so frustrating. I don't want to have to write a thank you letter. They should already know how thankful I am shouldn't they?

Wow. I just looked at what I typed and realized what a snob I sound like. I guess I am just tired and don't want to do anything today. I think it might have to do with the fact that I am still trying to adjust to dorm life.

Feeling tired,

Cookie Dough Dip

Once again life got ahead of me. Many of you may have remembered me mentioning that I was super busy last semester here at college. Well, was I ever wrong. I am so busy now that I barely have time to check my email or facebook anymore. Yeah!! It is rediculous! But anyways. My friend sent me this link to a website that had this amazing recipe on it, and I know that every single person out there will love it! I have yet to try it, but I know that it is going to be amazing.


For those of you out there that are allergic to gluten, well you are just in luck. I have a recipe for........ 


CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH DIP




Exactly! Cookie dough dip! It is even healthy. Check out the recipe below and go look at the blog that it originated from. 



Cookie Dough Dip
  • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained) (250g)
  • 1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
  • tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (You can get away with using only 3 T. If you use peanut butter, it’ll have a very-slight “pb cookie dough” taste, so if you don’t want this, you can sub oil.)
  • up to 1/4 cup milk of choice (Start with 1 T, and add more as needed)
  • Sweetener (see note below, for amount)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (or Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips)
  • 2 to 3 T oats (or flaxmeal) (You can omit, but also omit the milk if you do)
Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) to a food processor, and blend until very smooth. Then mix in the chocolate chips
